How To.. wear the Pugio and Gladius (belts, fasteners)

[PhilusEstilius]

Jim . All that has been mentioned up to now is that a suggestion has come from Deschler - Erb about a belt being wrapped around a sword, there is no leather to prove this statement and there was only one such stud found. Therefore how can there be any context at all of it being in association with a sword, when infact there could be more reason to suggest that a sword may well have been layed upon a neatly folded cloak hence one stud.
