This detailed replica of a so-called strongly profiled Germanic fibula dates from the Roman Empire, 1st to 2nd century AD.
Fibulae of the strongly profiled type were common during the Roman Empire, especially in the East Germanic provinces of the Roman Empire and in Free Germania.
Such fibulae were part of Roman-Germanic female clothing and were worn on the shoulders to fasten the peplos.
This authentic replica of a fibula perfectly complements the Germanic costume in Roman reconstructions.
Dimensions of the Germanic fibula: 3,5 x 1,5 x 1,5 cm.
The heavily profiled brooch is a type of cross brooch and is characterized by a relatively short, heavily expanded curved head, under which there is usually a support plate that holds the spiral scroll. It is usually between 4 and 7 cm in size. In later forms of heavily profiled fibulae, the support plate of the spiral scroll may be completely covered.
During the Roman period this type of brooch was widespread in the East Germanic region, but also in northern Germany, northern Italy and the eastern Alps, and was also widespread in the Danube provinces.
Among the West Germanic tribes in the Lower Elbe region, strongly profiled fibulae without a supporting plate were particularly widespread, often decorated with beaded wire. In southern Scandinavia, on the other hand, belt-shaped brooches were more popular at the time. The type of heavily profiled brooch is very old and is still found in Austria in the 4th century.
