It is a variant of the multiple bow type of crossbow fibula though i have never seen the exact type before.  I have seen multiple flat bows and multiple tall thin bows but never this mix.  nice.


Here is the entry from the Crossbow fibula page:

Multiple Bow Crossbow Fibulae

These small to medium sized fibulae have a bow divided into two or three parallel sections.   The bows can either be tall yet thin, or wider yet flat.

Dates:  c. AD 175-250.

Distribution:  Origin on the German - Raetian Limes.  Used widely in the western Empire with a spring and in the eastern (from Pannonia east) with a hinge.
