I apologise in advance for the 3rd century-ness of my belt!
Note there's plenty of evidence for daggers, plenty of evidence for belts - no depictions of daggers at all on gravestones. Very unusual. So were they worn on baldrics? On the belt? Or not worn at all without armour? As you can see I favour a continuation of the frog system using the fungiform studs found on 3rdC belts.
