Item Details
Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A fine ensemble of 3 leaded bronze crossbow fibulae or brooches, used to fasten the cloaks of Roman soldiers and citizens. Each is cruciform, with its tubular arms presenting faceted faces and knob-like terminals as a bulb-shaped finial adorns the stirrup area. The tillers of all 3, however, slightly differ: one rectangular with diagonal striations, another flared with target-motifs, and the last faceted with geometric patterns. Wonderful examples of the Roman Empire's luxury arts! Size (of largest): 3.375" L x 2" W (8.6 cm x 5.1 cm)

Provenance: private Corpus Christi, Texas, USA estate collection, acquired 1960s to 1970s
