Subiect: „The aim of the paper is to discuss the typology and distribution of enamelled wheel-shaped brooches (Feugère 27D1), characterized by large size, floral shape, complex and unique decorations. These brooches are rare and unique (one cannot find two identical items!), however, they have been discovered on an expanded
geographical area, from Gallia to the North of the Black Sea, for instance in Lanslevillard (Lanslebourg), Vaison-la-Romaine (Vancluse), Airolo–Madrano (Leventina), Carnuntum (Austria), Aquincum (Hungary), Chersonesos (Crimea), and Giarmata (Banat). Certainly, most of the brooches were made in provincial Gallo- Roman workshops by craftsmen highly specialized in bronze and glass processing. Such items are considered luxury products (especially in the “barbarian” environment). Even though M. Feugère considers that this type
cannot be dated before the 3rd century AD, we consider that it dates back earlier, starting with the second half of the 2nd century AD, namely the years 170/180 AD.”
