A belt is a piece of clothing which may be used as part of a light armor.
History
In 5th century BCE Greece, pieces of light armor worn around the waist were commonly called belts. Over the course of her travels within Greece, the Spartan misthios Kassandra found many belts, varying in styles and sizes.[1]
During the Third Crusade in the late 12th century, the Levantine Assassins, including Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, used throwing knives, and kept them in a wide belt wrapped around their waist.[2]
The habit of keeping throwing knives survived all the way through to Renaissance, when the Italian Assassins Giovanni Auditore da Firenze[3] and his son Ezio also wore belts holding the knives.[4][5][6]
In Victorian era London, the British Assassin Jacob Frye was quite fond of his belts, and his collection included many which referenced his heritage.[7]
