Ancient Roman

Roman bronze discoidal fibula with concentric decoration – 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Culture: Roman. Era: 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 adornments used during the Roman Empire to fasten cloaks and other garments.
