Hi,
Demetrius- Thanks- Not sure of the spear dimensions. Does anyone else know?
Matt- The Donderberg grave pic came from Armed Batavians: Use and Significance of Weaponry and Horse Gear from Non-military Contexts in the Rhine Delta (50 BC to AD 450)by Johan Nicolay (republished from Bohme, 1974 (?))
And I agree re wide belts being much used- but I was more thinking about the dragon headed buckles, belt stiffeners and strap ends as indicators of the Field army rather than just the width of the belt? Thoughts?
