1st–2nd Century Roman Bow Fibula Brooch – Lost-Wax Cast Bronze Cloak Pin

Experience the early Roman Empire with this Bronze Bow Fibula Brooch, a faithful recreation of one of the most widespread fasteners of the 1st to 2nd centuries CE. These brooches were more than simple garment pins, they were emblems of identity and Roman ingenuity, used to hold cloaks, tunics, and military sagums.

Cast using the ancient lost-wax method, this brooch captures every historic detail—from the smooth, gently arched bow to the prominent knobbed finial at the head. The long triangular catch plate and tightly wound spring coil pin ensure both functionality and authenticity, making it ideal for use or display.

Originally worn by both civilians and legionaries across the empire, this fibula reflects the graceful utility of Roman design. Whether you’re dressing as a Roman merchant, senator, or auxiliary soldier, this brooch adds the perfect finishing touch to historically inspired attire.

Care Instructions:
