Presented paper is devoted to the forms of the sword belt buckle produced on the territory of the Central European Barbaricum, which are characterised by presence of fastening riveted down to bottom plate and which are a part of baldric. It seems that the custom of hanging sword on the belt worn over one shoulder emerges in Barbaricum at the beginning of 2nd century AD or shortly earlier. Perhaps in connection with the widespread presence of barbarian auxiliary troops in the Roman army. Original reception environment of this habit was the Elbe Germanic cultural circle. Whilst in the case of the Early Roman Period buckles from this territory one may trace their local stylistic origin, the specimens dated to the Younger Roman Period are true imitation of Roman models. Occurrence of the balteus buckles in other regions of Central European Barbaricum can be considered as a result of influences from the Elbe Germanic cultural circle, and dated back not earlier as to the 1st half of the 3rd century AD.
