Description from the seller
A set of three Roman bronze bow fibulae, from approximately the 2nd–3rd century AD, featuring a wide drop- to fan-shaped footplate and a high, curved bow. This type was worn both militarily and civically as a cloak or clothing clasp and is among the most recognizable models from the Roman period.
All fibulae display a beautiful green archaeological patina and clear shape details such as the footplate, curved bow, and original design of the clasp. With archaeological metals, it is common that old or later restorations on the pin construction cannot be ruled out, but the pieces remain well recognizable and of historical interest.
Material: bronze
Dating: 2nd–3rd century AD
Number: 3 pieces.
State: archaeological discovery state, see photos for details.
Is carefully packed and shipped with tracking.
