According to a well-known friend of mine, there are no baldric clasps whatsoever shown on any Roman friezes, monuments, etc. Many baldric decorations, often in the form of metal stids/discs similar to what's on the cingulum apron, are to be seen (the Feyum portraits) but nothing that can be definitively called a clasp. Surprising, when you consider they are standard fare on most reenactor's equipment.
