Vom Verkäufer bereitgestellte Beschreibung
Roman bronze fibula (garment brooch), attributed to the Early Roman Imperial period, approximately 1st–2nd century AD.
The fibula features a distinctive semicircular, fan-shaped head plate, a strongly profiled and elegantly curved bow, and a tapered foot with a raised terminal.
The reverse preserves the original multi-coil spring mechanism, including the bronze pin and catchplate. The survival of these functional components makes this an attractive example of ancient Roman personal adornment.
Fibulae were widely used throughout the Roman Empire to fasten garments, cloaks, and tunics. Beyond their practical function, they also served as decorative accessories and reflected regional traditions and contemporary fashions.
The bronze surface displays an attractive natural-looking green and brown patina, with areas of mineral encrustation and visible signs of age.
