In the attached documents, a special type of Roman buckles can be seen. Those buckles were not cast as a whole piece, but made from seperate brass or solid silver parts that were soldered to each other. To me this doesn`t look like a strong construction. Especially the peltate part made from (thin) sheet doesn`t look strong to me.
Are there any people that have experience with this kind of buckles and can tell me more abouth their strength? Can they handle the stress without difficulties or do they bend or even break easily?
