Seller's Note/ Once belts began to be split into two ends from the mid 2nd century, each end had a narrow terminal - usually with a pendant on a hinged strap-end. These terminals were used in pairs and were usually identical. The most common form was the narrow tear-drop which was in use circa AD 150/160 - 250/300. All Roman military collectors will appreciate and add these to their collection, especially those who are trying to complete a full set. See the second photo as an example of the split belt ends.
