This copper‑alloy fibula is a modern interpretation of the garment fasteners used throughout the Roman Empire from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE. Fibulae were essential components of Roman dress, functioning as both practical pins and personal ornaments that conveyed identity, status, and regional style. The form of this piece echoes the arched bow fibulae common in military and civilian contexts, where durability and decorative detail were equally valued.
