Based
on a corpus of 2091 objects, representing all the documentation
available at the time, this book proposed the first interregional
approach of
fibulae
from the end of the Iron Age and the Roman era in Narbonnaise. These
objects, which affect the manner of dress, appearance and thus
individual and social identity, are important sociological and
chronological markers for archaeologists. By further proposing a
typology that is
still used thirty years later, this book greatly stimulated the study of
fibulae in Gaul and, more generally, in the western provinces of the Roman Empire.288 pages. Michel Feugere is Head of Research at CNRS (the French equivalent of English Heritage).
