A cingulum militare was a piece of ancient Roman military equipment in the form of a belt decorated with metal fittings, which was worn as a badge of military status by soldiers and officials. Many examples were made in the Roman province of Pannonia.
The belt was composed of the following parts:
Balteus: Hanging band that was compounded for an overall band.
Bulla: Rivets on the baltea.
Pensilium: Pendant at the end of the straps of the belt.
Lamna: Discus at the end of each apron strip that embrace the pensilium.
