ANTIQUITIES, ROMAN, Bronze Fibula, c.A.D.200 - 250.Roman Bronze Fibula, c.3rd century A.D.
A nice bronze fibula with what seems to be the original pin.
This is an early version of the Crossbow Fibula. It is hard to be sure of the exact type without seeing the head in more detail. It looks like it is hinged which makes it a "short-arm T-shaped" variant, but the tall narrow bow looks more like a type usually found with a spring instead. Overall dates to circa AD 200-250 and I would guess Pannonian area.
It is very interesting because on the other side there is a slot to insert the pin, something I haven't seen on a fibula like it is on mine.
