THE TYPOLOGY AND PRODUCTION OF BROOCHES ON THE EASTERN LIMES OF DACIA SUPERIOR ON THE BRÂNCOVENEȘTI-CĂLUGĂRENI SECTOR

Abstract

The authors analyse a number of 61 Roman brooches from the Brâncovenești-Călugăreni sector of the Dacian limes, discovered mainly in the last 15 years. In order to paint a better picture, in our analyses 9 brooches discovered at Brâncovenești before 2010 were included as well, thus raising the number to 70 pieces. Chronologically they fall between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD.
