Peter Reynaers

Ancient Roman silver House Brooch
Circa: 1st.-3rd. C Ad.
Measurements 40mm. ,7.31g.
Roman silver brooches were intricate fasteners used to secure garments, particularly during the Roman Empire. Crafted from silver, these brooches often displayed elaborate designs, incorporating elements like animals, mythological motifs, or geometric patterns. One popular type was the fibula, a safety pin-like brooch, used to fasten clothing, such as the Roman toga. Silver brooches served both practical and decorative purposes, reflecting the wearer's status and personal taste. Archaeological discoveries of these artifacts provide valuable insights into Roman fashion and craftsmanship.
