Auerberg cingulum

Excellent work, as always Rado.

One thing to note though is the positioning of the frog plates. In the first pictures you put up where we could see the stitched belt, the frogs looked to be too far apart. They should be no further apart than the width of the pugio sheath and its suspension rings, which should more or less touch the frog buttons (there is no evidence for the straps many re-enactors use), as you will see from your examination of sculpture.
The upper suspension rings of the pugio sheath were probably tightly secured to the frog buttons with leather thonging.
