I think that Cesar is very aware of what I have pointed out earlier that the pitures on the originals were made with punches very similar to how coins were made. There is also evidence of backing to the originals, and Tarbicus like others have pointed out that another belt may well have been found showing concentric circles. This gives indication that our Miles may have had a two belt situation, with his Sword belt being a bit more decorative. I would also say that if anyone checks out the Konig web site on detail they will find that he has created different horses from those of the originals that pull the chariot of the God Soll, and there is every indication that his beltplates are cast however still a very nice belt. I must also say again that the cost in my opinion reflects the amount of Silver used in casting this belt, as indeed he himself points out that price would also adjust from the size of belt needed.
