Ancient Roman

Roman bronze discoidal fibula/brooch with concentric decoration – 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Culture: Roman. Period: Roman Empire, 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Material: Bronze. Description for auction: Elegant Roman discoidal fibula/brooch made of bronze, belonging to the tradition of small personal adornments used during the Roman Empire to fasten mantles and other garments. It presents an attractive circular design, headed by a small central relief button, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring.
