Belts on Auxiliae!

[Martin Wallgren]

Most of the Aux. on TC don´t appear to have belts over armour! Is there any evidence of belts being worn over armour by Aux. troops? How about other depictions of Aux?

[Peroni]

The Rhineland tombstones of auxiliary infantry soldiers depicted in undress kit all have very elaborate belts and some have double-belts. Aprons are 'en vogue' too

Later depictions on TC and the Adamklissi metopes seem to have forgotten to add belts! Try weraing mail without a belt and you'll see just how difficult and annoying it can be! :wink:
