HISTORY OF THE BELT BUCKLE.
Buckles were used in ancient Greece and Rome, particularly in military equipment and military dress. Buckles were first used commonly in the cheek strap of the Roman Galea, hence the word origin from the Latin bucca–cheek. Buckles were also commonly used in the Celtic civilization.
