Hi Byron, it seems that the famous third century ring buckle belt comes in abruptly in Severus' reign, I am writing a book about this at the moment! Prior to that look at the Lyons burial, elaborate open-work designs with the wide sword baldric that continues in use right through to the late third century...
I'm sure Armamentaria have appropriate belt fittings. They certainly have some third century designs, though a brass ring can be found cheaply on any saddlers site.

I'm wondering about belts for the late second - Third Cent?
