Technically, the Latin term, fibulae, refers to Roman brooches; however, the term is widely used to refer to brooches from the entire ancient and early medieval world that continue Roman forms. The fibula developed in a variety of shapes, but all were based on the safety-pin principle. Fibulae replaced straight pins that were used to fasten clothing in the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age. In turn, they were replaced as clothing fasteners by buttons in the Middle Ages. Some fibulae are direct museal copies of real finds. Delivered in plastic bag. To provide safe shipping the pins are equipped with plastic protection.
