Working on an triumvirate impression

[Theodosius the Great]

While there are examples of Republican belt plates from Spain around Numantia and Castellejo, such plates are scarce in the archaeological record and may therefore indicate that plates were not common, according to Bishop and Coulston. Belts could be quite austere as you can see from the tombstone of Centurion Minucius Lorarius here : [url:2i11p4wa]http://www.romanarmy.com/cms/component/option,com_imagebase/task,view/cid,83/Itemid,94/[/url]

A simple buckle would be enough for a Republican belt, IMO.
