Hopefully I enterd my name correctly in the signature. If not let me know.
My question is (I believe it was discussed here before or I may have read it elsewhere, I am not sure) if one is trying to depict a mid 1st century centurion, what would be the most accurate representation with respect to belts. The two belt "cowboy" system one for pugio and one for the sword or the baldric for the sword and belt for the pugio.
If the two belt system is accurate would it be wide belt plates or thinner belt plates.
I have seen many tombstone representations but I sometimes cannot tell from the stone or sometimes the photo does not have a date related to it so I cannot tell the time period.
Any help as always will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Paolo
