So the hanging straps are just called "the apron"? I've heard the term before, but I was unaware that was actually the correct term to use. And I was thinking that it was just something to be flashy (though another part of me is just like "why"? lol), and I guess I was right to an extent... 5000 men "clanking" signifying the Romans were coming I suppose would cause a stir among enemy troops.
This is actually the balteus I have Matt: http://www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?...er+Balteus
I didn't buy it from KOA, but it is identical. When I first got it last week, I was afraid it was too light, but my Centurio informed me that light was the way to go, and I can't blame him. The leather is rather thin, as it the brass, but it is very asthetically pleasing I feel. I don't have it with me at the moment, but I'd say it weighs maybe 2 lbs, I'll weigh it when I get home.
