Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Roman, Imperial Period, purportedly found in Pannonia (present-day Hungary), ca. 3rd century CE. A fine leaded bronze crossbow fibula or brooch, featuring a P-shaped profile with an arching, divided bow, a petite crossbar, and a flattened foot that gently slants upward. Decorative notches line the outside peripheries of the bow and end of the foot. This crossbow type fibula was quite popular in the ancient world. It has been found throughout the Roman Empire - from Britain to Syria - and would have been used to fasten the cloak of a Roman soldier or citizen. Size: 1.1" W x 1.9" H (2.8 cm x 4.8 cm); 3.1" H (7.9 cm) on included custom stand.

Published as number 1256 in "Brooches of Antiquity: A Third Selection of Brooches from the Author's Collection" by Richard Hattatt (United Kingdom:?Oxbow Books,?1987).

Provenance: ex-Royal Athena Galleries, New York City, New York, USA; ex-Richard Hattatt collection, New York, New York, acquired before 1992
