Скачать или смотреть Roman Soldier’s Belt (Balteus): The Hidden Code of Honor, Shame & Power

In Ancient Rome, a soldier’s belt wasn’t just equipment—it was identity.

The Roman balteus (soldier’s belt) held a legionary’s tunic tight and kept his sword ready at his side. But its true power wasn’t practical. It was symbolic—decorated with bronze or silver plates, it marked a man as a Roman legionary and carried the honor of the legion itself.

To wear the balteus was to belong.
To lose it was humiliation.
