Belt buckle without pin
« on: December 24, 2021, 02:21:11 pm »
This buckle is confusing me a little. It has some characteristics of being a 1st century buckle but it looks very poorly made,perhaps camp made or provincial. It seems too big to be for a pugio belt. Is this perhaps a late roman example? The iron hinge howevers makes me think early.  ???

It is a variation of the Saalburg-type of D-frame buckle.

They are quite early - Tiberian to Hadrianic (so, 30s-130s).

They were used for either belt, not just pugio.
