Ancient Roman

Roman bronze discoidal brooch with concentric decoration – 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Culture: Roman. Period: Roman Empire, 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Material: Bronze. Auction description: Elegant Roman bronze discoidal brooch, belonging to the tradition of small personal adornments used during the Roman Empire to fasten cloaks and other garments. It presents an attractive circular design, crowned by a small central relief button, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring. The outer area incorporates various sunken geometric fields, arranged radially, which provide balance and ornamental richness to the composition. This type of brooch constitutes an interesting manifestation of Roman metalworking, in which artisans combined functionality and decoration through very elegant geometric shapes. The piece preserves a beautiful green archaeological patina, with turquoise and ochre tones and mineral deposits that accentuate the reliefs and add notable aesthetic appeal. Condition: Good overall preservation of the ornamental disk, with visible concentric decoration, surface wear, and attractive ancient patina.
