Show your roman belts?

What is the purpose of the stitching? What is the supporting evidence?


Regards, Dave

Hi Dave. Welcome back.
Although I have the 'real' sources not at hand, I can tell a little about what evidence we have. 
*Finds of leather parts, mostly from the later empire shows indeed a double folded belt out of soft leather with a fabric reinforcement core. 
*new interpretations of militairy stelae also suggest stitching borders on the belts

Furthermore, in archeology, it seems that most of the belt plate sets that were found 'complete' only show us a small number of beltplates (up to only 6 plates). This all gave a new changed view on the roman militairy belts recently. If I'm rigth there is also a written account of linnen core into a leather belt, but I didn't see that one myself, sofar.
