Which eras does the Roman cingulum buckle cover and what material is it made of?

The Roman cingulum buckle is attached to the belt strap using rivets. To prepare the material, markings for the drill holes are hammered into the metal, and then the corresponding holes are drilled to securely attach the buckle and its washers to the leather.

How is the Roman cingulum buckle attached to the belt strap, and does the material need to be pre-treated?

The Roman cingulum buckle is attached to the belt strap by drilling holes in both the buckle and the strap at the desired location, and then securing the buckle with rivets. Since the buckle is usually supplied without pre-drilled holes, the material must be prepared beforehand by drilling the appropriate holes. Suitable rivets are usually included.
