I thought I had earlier mentioned elsewhere that rolled, upset, and out-turned edges were all present amongst the Carnuntum armour, but upsetting is much more common amongst Corbridge-type fittings than the other two methods.<br>

Personally, I think the round belt plates are just that, no problem. Likewise the unusual belt fastening button presents no problems - in fact, it explains a lot of these things turning up in strange contexts. I don't think there was any leather remaining in the find (although I can't lay my hands on the original publication at the moment, only the Arma version).<br>
