From what I have gathered no gladiator belt has ever been found so the topic is a lot of personal bias.
From what I have seen in surviving gladiator statues, little tokens to be taken home, some of them have decorated belts. It is impossible to tell if this decoration is tooled, sewn, or plates added to them. An even worse example is modern reconstructions in the media and for sale. They to have many arrays of decoration and color.
Has anyone else seen evidence of gladiator belts being decorated?
To the others that recreate gladiator combat, what is your opinions on decorated gladiator belts
