Crossed belts

[Peroni]

Crossed belts went out of fashion about the same time that segmentata starts to show up, or at least that's the commonest viewpoint.

Not quite.. we still see many soldiers wearing double belts on grave stele from mis 1s C Rhineland. Yes, they are not shown in armour admittedly, but it does show that they were probably still worn with mail and perhaps scale well into the 1st C.

Some can be seen worn cross over each other, but there are also depictions of belts worn one above the other - resting on top of the lower belt set. Have a look in the imagebase!
