Francis B:
This is the first time we see a fibula type Jezerine decorated in this way. She was in a vineyard near my village.

PS : I use google translation :o

Fantastic! I have never seen a Jezerine fibula decorated with anything other than line-and-dot decorations.
Is it a Gladiator? It may be an arena scene with a victim in a venationes or animal hunt game. But it might also be a scene out of Greco-Roman legend. I am sure there are legends of fallen hunters but I do not know enough to be able to guess who it could be.
