Description

The fashion trends adopted by the Romans are also discernible in the widely distributed artefacts such as bronze vessels, brooches, for example those in the shape of a mounted horseman or a cicada, but also in the very popular shield-on-tongue belt buckles. The Romans also wore bracelets with small stamped decoration similar to the impressions on Germanic pottery, and made simple replicas of the Germanic brooches decorated with incised ring-and-dots. Furthermore, long single-sided combs became common alongside the typical Roman double-sided combs.
