Auction description: Elegant Roman bronze discoidal fibula, belonging to the tradition of small personal adornments used during the Roman Empire to fasten cloaks and other garments. It features an attractive circular design, topped by a small central relief button, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring. The exterior area incorporates various radially arranged recessed geometric fields, which provide balance and ornamental richness to the composition.
