Archeologia Territorio Contesti JA - LATC VL - 0 IS - 7 SE - Articles DO - 10.13125/2532-0289/5263 UR - https://ojs.unica.it/index.php/layers/article/view/5263 AB - The paper deals with several examples of byzantine belt buckles found in infant graves in Sardinia. By subjecting evidence to a new comparative study, the research cherishes the importance of buckles as children' clothing, suggesting new readings to the traditional ascription to military and male adults. Moreover, the association in context with other objects such as coins and deer canin teeth, originally placed as belt components, gives new details on possible ritual functions of buckles for infants in antiquity.
