Quote:This would likely have been an officer belt, I think there is no problem for common soldiers to wear a cingulum with brass/bronze fittings.
It is not a common type. I choosed it because the hoard is 5th century (of course the belt fittings could be earlier) and the buckle shape is very similar to finds from Brittany and Cornwall. I portray a late/sub/post-Roman brittonic chieftain from late 5th century Brittany. And I hope to get more and more 'bling', thinking about how men such as Riothamus or Ambrosius Aurelianus could have looked like.
Yeah, I want to hopefully get an impression good enough to be Aetius himself. Need to keep harassing the neighbors with lawn mowing flyers first! :lol:
