Avete omnes,
I want to reenact an early second century Roman legionary (Caius Castricius Victor, tumbstone from Aquincum, about 105 AD). Would it be correct if the belt plates at this early stage of 2nd Century were from the broken through type, mostly made of bronze? I found the most relevant pictures on this excellent site:

And where / how can one get a medusa-like umbo or make it by himself? Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance.
