Quote:I know sculpture shows it worn on the outside over the girdle plates, but has anyone even tried to wear the balteus under the segmentata low on the waist?
Frequently, before I started using hoops
It is comfortable, yes. But the problem is with the sword. If you wear your belt over the frog, the sword rides very low, it is bloody inconvenient. If you wear your frog over the belt (which you sort of have to if the belt is below the seg) it jumps all over the place when you walk and it's very hard to pull out with one hand.
