Ancient Roman

Discoidal bronze Roman applique with concentric decoration – 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Culture: Roman. Era: Roman Empire, 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Material: Bronze. Auction description: Elegant Roman discoidal applique made of bronze, belonging to the tradition of small personal ornaments used during the Roman Empire to fasten cloaks and other garments. It features an attractive circular design, headed by a small central raised button, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring. The exterior area incorporates various radially arranged recessed geometric fields, providing balance and ornamental richness to the composition. This type of fibulae constitutes an interesting manifestation of Roman metalwork, in which artisans combined functionality and decoration through geometrical shapes of great elegance. The piece preserves a beautiful green archaeological patina, with turquoise, ochre and mineral deposits that accentuate the reliefs and offer notable aesthetic appeal. Condition: Good conservation of the ornamental disk, with visible concentric decoration, superficial wear and attractive old patina.
