Ancient Roman

Roman bronze discoidal fibula with concentric decoration – 2nd–3rd centuries A.D. Culture: Roman. Era: Roman Empire, 2nd–3rd centuries A.D. Material: Bronze. Auction description: 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. It presents an attractive circular design, dominated by a small central button in relief, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring. The exterior area incorporates diverse recessed geometric fields, arranged radially, which provide balance and ornamental richness to the composition. This type of fibulae constitutes an interesting manifestation of Roman metalwork, in which artisans combined functionality and decoration through highly elegant geometric forms. The piece preserves a beautiful green archaeological patina, with turquoise, ochre tones and mineral deposits that accentuate the reliefs and add notable aesthetic appeal. State of conservation: Good preservation of the ornamental disk, with visible concentric decoration, surface wear and an attractive ancient patina.
