By far the most numerous of Roman personal artefacts. Fibulae
come in a myriad of shapes and sizes, and have proved to be very
regional in design. The Dolphin brooch, one of the most common
designs of fibulae to be found in Britain, isn't even represented
here. The same goes for the Trumpet brooch and half a dozen other
types commonly found in the North-west.
The Knee fibulas presented here have been given subclasses according
to our own logical arrangement; don't try to find them under that
classification in any book on the subject!
A few silver fibula has been found, along with two in iron, one
of which is complete and functional.
Most types here can be found in Hattatt's publications on fibulae,
though there are a few that are yet to be attributed.
