Hi Wasplank,<br>
The way your buckle was attached to one of the plates, the one to the extreme left (look for iron rust on it. The attaching mean did not neccessarily have iron components, but it is a possibility) is the one Mike described. I'll try to scan a pair of drawings to make it clearer to you, but it would be better if I could e-mail them directly to you.<br>
The phalera could be part from a sword-baldric (that is the component called 'balteus' in Latin, the belt is called 'cingulum')<br>
Good pics will be always welcome. My e-mail address is on my webpage.<br>

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.
