Questions about the forging of a pugio and a balteus
#86
There are made from a disc of metal with the concentric cercles engraved.

You can see a very good reproduction for sale at Peroni's shop:

I have made a frog for my new belt with engraved lines, and i have used a lathe for made it:

You always can made a more plain piece, without the engraved lines.
