Roman, Carnuntum, Pannonia, Bronze Hybrid Type Fibula, c. 2nd Century A.D.
|Fibulas| |&| |Clothing|, |Roman,| |Carnuntum,| |Pannonia,| |Bronze| |Hybrid| |Type| |Fibula,| |c.| |2nd| |Century| |A.D.|, From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.

Hattatt has two similar fibulas, both from Carnuntum and both purchased together. He notes the type is a hybrid with no similar examples known from other collections or references. Most of the features are from various other 1st century A.D. types, but in a combination otherwise unknown. The long catch plate is a feature of 2nd century Pannonian Knee brooches. The highly curved pin, to compensate for the small bow curvature is very unusual.

Carnuntum was an important Roman army camp in what is now Austria. It belonged originally to Noricum province, but after the 1st century was part of Pannonia. Its remains are on the main road halfway between Vienna and Bratislava, on the "Archaeological Park Carnuntum" in Lower Austria, extending over the area of today's villages Petronell-Carnuntum and Bad Deutsch-Altenburg.
AI36063. Bronze hybrid type fibula; cf. Hattatt 763 - 764 (otherwise unpublished); 4 cm long, Collectible condition, heavily constructed with an Aucissa head and hinged pin; a bow of Hod Hill type in profile but not frontally, forward facing foot knob; modern pin attached, foot knob missing; very rare; SOLD
