ROMAN ARMOR AND BALTEUS PARTS
(Military Belt Parts)
This is a small offering of armor accessories and parts for the balteus, or military belt (sometimes known as the cingulum). The belt plates offered here are of the Imperial type, in use from about the mid-1st Century AD. The concentric ring designs were apparently quite popular, though animal and religious designs were also found in abundance. I plan to make new styles of belt plates and other items in the future.
These items are offered in brass, bronze, and nickel-silver. Brass simulates various copper alloys in use, particularly a very yellow military bronze known as oricalchum. "Bronze" that I use is actually a high-copper-content brass which has the look of some bronzes. Actual bronze is available, but is prohibitively expensive for most folks. Nickel silver is merely a white brass which simulates real silver (which it closely resembles) or tinned parts (Romans apparently used a LOT of tinned parts).
