Ancient Roman

Roman discoidal bronze fibula 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 made of bronze, belonging to the tradition of small personal ornaments used during the Roman Empire to fasten cloaks and other garments. It presents an attractive circular design, led by a small central button in relief, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring. The outer area incorporates various radially arranged recessed geometric fields, which provide balance and ornamental richness to the composition. This type of fibulae constitutes an interesting manifestation of Roman metalworking, in which artisans combined functionality and decoration through very elegant geometric forms. The piece preserves a beautiful green archaeological patina, with turquoise, ochre tones and mineral deposits that accentuate the reliefs and impart notable aesthetic appeal. Condition: Good conservation of the ornamental disk, with visible concentric decoration, surface wear and attractive old patina.
