Ruth Garrido Vila

A fibula was a type of ancient safety pin, often decorative, used to fasten clothing and sometimes valued as jewelry. Although the term “fibula” originates from Roman brooches, it is more broadly applied to fasteners from various ancient cultures, including Persian. These objects evolved from simple pins, with the body and pin mechanism often made from a single piece.
