If you want one book that *is* available, I would suggest the Vindonissa catalogue, which should be obtainable through David Brown books:<br>
<br>
Unz, C. and Deschler-Erb, E. 1997: *Katalog der Militaria aus Vindonissa. Militärische Funde, Pferdegeschirr und Jochteile bis 1976*, Veröffentlichungen der Gesellschaft Pro Vindonissa Bd.14, Brugg<br>
<br>
Text is in German, but the pictures are multilingual ;-) and there are few sites with as many 1st-century belt components from them as this one. Failing that, if you can get access to a library containing the journal *Archaeologia*, this is the definitive article on belt plates and buckles:<br>
<br>
Grew, F. and Griffiths, N. 1991: 'The pre-Flavian military belt: the evidence from Britain', *Archaeologia* 109, 47-84<br>
<br>
Even if you can't find an academic library near you, some of them (Joint Library of the Hellenic & Roman Societies (in London) and the Ashmolean Library (in Oxford) used to (and probably still) do photocopying by post.<br>
