Description from the seller

Description
For sale is an interesting lot of six Roman silver fibulae (garment clasps), dating to the Roman Imperial period, approx. 1st–3rd century AD.

The lot comprises six different fibulae or fibula fragments with signs of age-related wear. Some pieces are complete, others show missing parts or missing pins, as can be seen in the photos. The original patina and the visible aging traces emphasize the authentic archaeological character of the objects.
