helwenLooking at brooches and belt parts at: http://www.quietpress.com/Roman_Brooches_and_Belt_Fi.html
I'm leaning toward the dragonesque brooches for the stola, even though they're actually Celtic finds I think (northern England, 50-150 AD)....
Then there are all the belt bits. I think L is supposed to have a belt with his tunic, so one with metal findings seems like the way to go. But there are so many choices... nothing ridiculously wide though. It's for dinner-time, he doesn't need a kidney belt. And what are those belt rings for? Holding points for a knife or sword scabbard? No, those are further up the page.... One can easily spend $100 on the metal bits for a belt... must be careful of that...
