LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS - Submission
#3
[Image: cingulumjpg.JPG]

That cingulum are based in an near complete set of 4 apron founded at a grave in Aznalcazar (Sevilla, Spain).

You can find the original ones at: Joaquin Aurrecoechea Fernández
"Apron fittings from Flavian times found in Spain" JRMES, 9, 1998, 37-44

Another one, practically identical was founded at Caerleon: M.C. Bishop, "Early imperial apron", JRMES, 3, 1992, Fig. 16, 97.

Are made of a 1 mm plate of brass cutted with a jeweller's saw and then punched to make the floral decoration. Very dificult was to do the rivetting with that very little nails!
