Ancient Roman

Roman bronze discoidal brooch with concentric decoration – 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Culture: Roman. Period: Roman Empire, 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Material: Bronze. Description for auction: Elegant Roman discoidal brooch made of bronze, belonging to the tradition of small personal ornaments used during the Roman Empire to fasten mantles and other garments. It features an attractive circular design, headed by a small central button in relief, surrounded by a well-defined concentric ring. The exterior area incorporates various radially arranged recessed geometric fields, which provide balance and ornamental richness to the composition. This type of brooches constitutes an interesting manifestation of Roman metalwork, in which artisans combined functionality and decoration through geometrical shapes of great elegance. The piece retains a beautiful archaeological green patina, with turquoise tones, ochres and mineral deposits that accentuate the reliefs and add notable aesthetic appeal. Conservation status: Good conservation of the ornamental disk, with visible concentric decoration, surface wear and attractive ancient patina.
