Abstract

In this paper two silver fibulae with golden ornaments from Trošenj-grad have been elaborated. One belongs to the plate fibulae of the Liburnian type and according to Š. Batović it would be the version 1 of the period V b, the last in the developmental sequence of the Liburnian Culture (2nd – 1st century BC). On the second fibula the arc plate is covered with coating which is attached to it with a rivet with still visible traces of a rosette. Oval borders of the plate end with double antithetically set ram heads with elaborate horns. This fibula also represents one of the so far non-registered versions of plate shaped fibula of the Liburnian type. Shape of the arc, ornamentation and gilding of the coating are all elements for its dating to the period V b (2nd – 1st century BC) of the Liburnian culture.
