Fibulas
Greek fibulas and Roman fibulas (toga pins) were used to fasten their
owner's togas and as decorative elements. They were the ancient world's equivalent to the modern safety
pin. They came in many styles and can make an interesting collection all on
their own; they also make an interesting addition to a collection of ancient
coins. They make beautiful display pieces but after having been buried for
centuries they are no longer functional.
