Roman & Celtic fibulae

Roman fibula and Celtic fibula or cloak pin

The Celts and Romans wore a fibula, also called a cloak pin, to fasten their garments. This was their version of the button and zipper. For example, Romans fastened their toga with a fibula, and women wore their stola with a fibula. Until the Middle Ages, people fastened their cloaks with a fibula. The fibula was often clearly visible. Poorer people wore an iron fibula, and the rich wore a fibula with enamel and stones. Our fibulae are based on Roman and Celtic finds.
