Trortasta fibula v Sloveniji

Abstract

The following article discusses three-knobbed fibulae with regard to their typology, chronology and their spatial distribution.They are classified into eleven types with numerous variants. Spatially, they are distributed chiefly throughout the Sveta Lucija and Dolenjska regions, although they have also been discovered in Este, Bela krajina, Lika and Picenum. Their chronology is established upon the material finds from the Sveta Lucija and Dolenjska regions where threeknobbed fibulae are present already in the Sv. Lucija I c2 and Stična 2 horizons. They are even more abundant in the 'serpentine' fibula horizon and the Sv. Lucija II a level, and then they disappear in the Certosa horizon.
