Gladiators with cingulum

[Martin Moser]

@ Svenja: yes, that's the one I meant. I wouldn't be surprised if the real thing was not *that* long, because it might actually hinder the fighter as you said. More like the Kos mosaic pointed out by Conal

@Conal: that's one of the mosaics I meant (nd topic I search for but didn't find :-P P ), yes! And those two provocators both show such straps dangling down from what I take is the back of their belt. Not as long as the other one I mentioned above, only comes down to about the knee.
