Questions about the forging of a pugio and a balteus
#23
Some depictions of the apron have up to 8 straps fitted with between five and over 20 studs! Have a look at the imagebase here on RA.com for examples.

Mike Bishop's article is a great place to start..

The strap end terminal you have labelled No. 2 is a cast bronze piece and about 2.5mm thick. It is a find made at Tekije.We sell the reconstructed parts..
