Introducing

Treasures from Roman times

The project ‘Treasures from Roman times - ancient bronze fibulae from St. Pölten’ enabled the comprehensive documentation of over 600 Roman fibulae from the 1st to 4th century A.D. The finds offer significant insights into the cultural history of the Roman settlement of Aelium Cetium and are freely accessible to everyone via the CFIR database.
