The Roman cingulum, the military belt, was a genuine status symbol as much as practical equipment, its stamped brass plates, apron straps and fittings reflecting a soldier’s pride in his position within the legion. Losing the right to wear a belt was itself a recognised military punishment, and going without one in public was considered genuinely shameful for a legionary. This component is sold separately, suited to building, repairing or customising your own cingulum belt.
This pugio frog recreates the mounting bracket used to hang a Roman pugio dagger from the cingulum, worked in 18-gauge brass and measuring approximately 7 x 8cm.
Deepeeka’s reproduction offers a genuine component for building or restoring a Roman military belt, suited to pairing with our Roman pugio daggers.
