Mixed Belt Plates - Authentic or Not?

[sulla felix]

Cesar,

Thanks for that - you have been a source of very good information as usual

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

You are welcome!

Traditionally, reenactors asociate the wide plates with the single belt, but not always are in that way. You can find wide plates in the funerary reliefs, as the stamped cercles ones (wide type) seen in the Casaco soldier.

Cesar,

Yes, most reenactors seem to go with wide single belts, or narrow twin belts. I want to go with twin wide belts, and a fulham or mainz pattern gladius and your answers and sources are giving me the courage to do this.

The Casaco soldier - is that in the RAT imagebase?

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

Sorry. Probably is not Casaco, it's a similar name. I'm searching one image, but it's a soldier founded in Italia depicted with crossed belts of the concentric stamped cercles type.
