Talk:Balteus (sword belt)

Cintus/ Balteus Confusion

Please see the discussion of the term balteus in the Retiarius article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Retiarius. In brief, a balteus clearly is a sword belt, but specifically one worn diagonally. The linked article appears to be the primary source, but is a reenactor site rather than a scholarly one and cites no sources. If no credible sources can be found, I think the dictionary definition (linked in the Retiarius discussion, above) should prevail.67.101.119.99 (talk) 00:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be no objections, but the changes needed here are fairly extensive. I'd prefer an actual editor undertake them, otherwise I will as time permits...67.101.119.99 (talk) 22:23, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

merged to Baldric

I have merged this article into Baldric due to overlap of content, similarity of topic and this article was very short and unlikely to be expanded. Aeonx (talk) 08:23, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
