Hi Lucius,<br>
Now you mention ray I recognise the Champdolent-type buckle (look [url=http://www.fectio.org.uk/groep/hwb/fig12.htm" target="top]here[/url] for a distribution ma). I have his Oudenburg-type buckle and plates, very nice (but Aitor knows the drawbacks). I think my next one may be an even broader one found here in The Netherlands (found in Rhenen, it's also shown in Southern&Dixon, plate xv). This one is from 'outside the Empire' and will definately look gaudy. As a matter of fact, I have a possibility to ask two fellas to make any buckle I want, and I plan to ask several fellow-Late Romans what they'd like..<br>
<br>
Your impression looks very good to me, even at this early satge! I seem to recognise a figure from plate B in Osprey's 'Late Roman Infantryman'?<br>
