Ancient Roman

Roman bronze discoidal fibula with concentric decoration – 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Culture: Roman. Period: Roman Empire, 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Material: Bronze. Description for auction: 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 presents an attractive circular design, headed by a small central relief button, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring. The outer area includes 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, where artisans combined functionality and decoration through elegantly shaped geometric forms. The piece preserves a beautiful archaeological green patina, with turquoise tones, ochres and mineral deposits that enhance the reliefs and add notable aesthetic appeal. Condition: Good preservation of the ornamental disc, with visible concentric decoration, surface wear and an attractive antique patina.
