Actually I don't know anymore than Jef's first post
And I must admit I'm also interested in the references for this statement. I only now realize there weren't any in his first post.
Quote:We know the Romans often used several layers of leather to make the belt for a balteus.
They often used thin leather and joined pieces so both the front and the back of the belt would be smooth. Often a piece of linen fabric was put between the leather to make the construction stronger and make the belt more resistant to stretching.
