This copper‑alloy ring fibulae draws inspiration from the brooch forms used across the Roman Empire from the 2nd to 4th centuries CE. While true Roman fibulae varied widely in shape—bow, crossbow, plate, and ring types—circular brooches with decorative borders became especially common in the late Imperial and Romano‑provincial world, where ornamentation and symbolism blended with practical garment fastening.
