Doc:
The datation of the death of this man is in the year 79... :wink:
The silver plates belongs to the "pugio belt", as the pugio frogs shows.
I'm not sure how is decorated the other belt (the sword one). Initially i thought it was made in concentric cercles, but now, seein old pictures posted at Rat, seems it was a similar belt.
There are some more exemples of this kind of plates in Pompei or Stabia, so probably were made in the nearby. In fact, it's a kind of belt plate uncommon out of Vesubian area.
