Hello friends

If someone knows about that, Please give me some info

Hi Sang-Eon,

Can't wait to see your painting of this one. These decorative buttons can be painted in a polished metallic shade on leather straps. You can find a good example here:

Hope that helps,

Hi Lee.

That leather strips were part of the belts (Cingulum militare) as you can see on the photo below

Hope that helps a little bit

Thank you so much for the info

But I think that I made you misunderstood

I'm really sorry for making you waste your time

I've attached a new photo with the smaller red circle

I really couldn't find any info about that

Hi!

Ulrich, a german figure-friend, posted your question to the german "HZ-Forum".

Here are the first answeres with some pics:

I think, there will be more posts the next time.

In my opinion any colour used for wool in the roman army is possible.

Thanks Martin

Because you can see the photos only if you are member of our forum I published them here too

First a photo from a tombstone, where you can see that parts.

The third one is a drawing depends on that stone and the second one is a photo out of an osprey magazine

When I understand the meanings in our forum correct it is not clear if that "fringes" are the end of the chain mail or the end of undergarment or upper garment. Because you can see on the tombstone the same parts at the arms. So it could be that this is the chain mail and he is wearing a garment over the chain mail

But if they are part of the garment you can paint it red or in another natural colour tone
