My Roman Belt with mixed plates models.

I can't see the image shack images you have linked to unfortunately, so I can't see what your belt looks like (unless it is the same belt as the one in the other thread), but I have to agree that many Roman military belts had a variety of plates on them, as is amply demonstrated by Mike Bishop's article on the apron, and to that we can also add the remains of the belt found around the Mainz type sword from Vindonissa, which had five plates, each of a different design, along with one remaining 'button and loop fastener' which would have prevented the sword from slipping sideways along the belt, and whose 'button' (along with that of its missing opposite number) would also have acted to decorate the belt.

Of course, not all belts had a variety of plates, with some, like the Velsen and Herculaneum sets all having the same design (or lack thereof in the case of the Velsen belt).
