Questions about the forging of a pugio and a balteus
#45
[Image: cingulum2.jpg]

Thanks to Tim Edwards and Tarbicus. I am maybe confused but I believe the balderic was a belt to carry a sword like this imagine: http://www.romancoins.info/balteus-Lyon ... rd-mcb.gif You see the belt.

I`m making the belt you can see at the first picture in this post. To prevent mistakes: is the leather used in the first picture red and made at the way you tell in point b? I cant buy leather tomorrow so I have to wait until Monday. The apron pendants are finished Smile

About the space between the pugio froggs: I think 15 cm (about 5.9 inch(es)) between the middle of the disc.
