Hello,
I'm making a belt with concentric circles. Sometimes the cercles were embossed, but other were made with a lathe.
I have made a plate similar to this one from Mainz, and another exemples of sites like Vindonissa, etc.
I have used a brass sheet of 1’5 mm. I need such gauge to avoid the lathe cut the plate. First, i have made a rectangular plate of 7x4 cm.
In the center of the rectangle i have made a hole, that it will be the center for the lathe. I made some concentric cercles with the lathe, with a depth of 0’8 – 1 mm.
Then, i have made the lateral tubes, with brass rods inside. The extrems of that rods are fused to make the balls terminals. I have ad some punched decoration in the surface of the lateral tubes, but it’s more usual plain pieces.
I have made 10 of this pieces, including the pugio frogs. There are made too with the lathe. There are big in diameter, like the ones from Herculaneum or Tejike.
To be continued…
