I'd like some advice on purchasing a relatively inexpensive (sub-$200) off-the-shelf balteus that would work for the first half of the 2nd century AD. I understand that I won't be able to get a belt that is truly authentic, but I'm not currently able to create my own belt, so a premade belt will have to do.
I have my eye on this belt (SW003 Concentric Circle Balteus 2), but I don't know if it's roughly appropriate for the time period or if there are any glaring inaccuracies (I accept that there will inevitably be minor inaccuracies). If it's a no-go, do you have any other recommendations? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
