germanic scroll fibula putensen silvered bronze Bont en imitatiebont A nice detail is theThis one fibula is based on a find from a warrior grave in the Longobardian brandgraber field of Putensen near Hamburg, dating from around 50 AD. The fibula belonged to an approximately 30 year old Germanic warrior with unusually rich burial equipment, which indicates contacts with the Roman army.
