Large Roman Bronze Military Crossbow Fibula

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Roman Empire, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. An elegant and large bronze "crossbow" fibula or brooch used to fasten a cloak of a Roman soldier and citizen. It is cruciform, with round bosses on the terminals at top and sides, and a flat tailpiece with two incised circles at the base and several incised lined at either end of the central ridge. The original pin and fastening shaft are still intact as well. Incised circular designs like these are commonly seen on Roman items, especially those from Roman Britain, and are believed to be wards against the evil eye. Size: 2.95" W x 1.9" H (7.5 cm x 4.8 cm).
