Joe is right that it is a Kraeftig Profilierte
type. The name is simply
German for "highly profiled" meaning "having a big bend".
They come in many many
types with many different forms of construction. The
standard KP
type, Okorag, Pannonian single knot and double knot, etc. Sadly there is very little in English about them -
Hattatt does not break them down well into
types.
Almgren did the first real study over 100 years ago so you sometimes see
Almgren numbers with such
types.
It is very hard to tell from this fragment what
type it originally was as much of the distinction is on the missing bow and foot.
Joe's dates 50-150 cover most though some
types date earlier - even a few decades BC. Though called Pannonian some
types extend down the Danube to the Black sea and into inland
Bulgaria.
