Mid. 5th century belts...
#1
In the middle of the 5th century, what was the width of the belts being used? 2"? 4"?

I'm afraid that evidence wanes a lot for that period (in the West, at least). for waht I've seen, I suppose that there was a return to the narrow belts... :?

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

I agree, narrow belts. Those wide ones are only seen during the 4th c.
