4th century belt construction

The strap end is wider than the buckle, so am I supposed to pass the strap through and then affix the strap end permanently securing the strap through the belt buckle?

 - That's correct, the strap end on this one indeed has to be secured after you pulled the strap through the buckle. 

- The solution for this buckle is not black/white. The main thing is to prevent that both ens do not meet and you get a gap (which looks silly). So it must overlap. This is my solution below.

I have since added a small leather protecting to ward against the chafing.
