The design is framed by concentric moulded borders, while the outer edge is slightly scalloped.\nThe reverse retains a hinged pin mechanism and catch. The pierced lugs around the perimeter are typical construction features associated with the manufacture of enamelled tutulus fibulae.\n\n-> A decorative and visually strong example of a Roman tutulus fibula, combining a form rooted in earlier Italic tradition with colourful provincial enamel work. Such fibulae fulfilled both practical and ornamental functions and reflect individual taste as well as regional workshop practices within the Roman Empire.\n\nSize: ± 36,2 x 32,5 mm\nHeight: ± 19,6 mm\n\nCondition\nGood archaeological condition. Structurally intact, complete with hinged pin (rigid) and catch. The enamel decoration is largely preserved, with some areas of loss and wear. The bronze surface shows an attractive dark brown and green patina, with spots of mineral accretion and surface encrustation consistent with age and use.\n\nCertificate of Authenticity (PDF) is available upon request.\n\n-> Tutulus fibulae take their name from the raised central boss and have their origins in early Italic and Etruscan dress fittings. During the Roman period, particularly from the 1st to 3rd century AD, the form was widely adopted and adapted across the provinces.\n\nEnamelled examples such as this are especially associated with Celtic-influenced regions of north-western Europe, where brightly coloured enamels were used to enhance personal jewellery. \nFibulae were essential items of dress in Roman society, worn by both men and women, and could communicate identity, status and regional affiliation as well as serving a practical purpose.
