Avete,<br>
I'm still trying to return to everyday's routine. We've had a great time at our festival, with excellent weather!<br>
As far as I know, there are remains from a fifth century belt in Germany with preserved parts of leather, showing an interesting pattern of decorative stitching (unfortunately I don't know details about the findspot or its publication )<br>
There is a nearly completely preserved leather belt at the Arles museum. It is not military and belonged to a VIth century French saint (The priests used at that time a copy of the late Roman office belt). It has a nice ivory buckle and border stitching for the two layers.<br>
What do you have against two-layered belts, Lucius? I know that you've done your good deal of leather working...<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.
