Abstract
The paper deals with a variant of Aucissa fibulae, specific
for its decoration and quality of workmanship. These fibulae
are ornamented with riveted animal figures. At present, four
fibulae with the same characteristics can be distinguished,
which we named the Otok variant after the find-spot of the
most beautiful specimen. Three fibulae originate from Dalmatia,
while one was discovered in Haltern, Germany. The paper
discusses the dating and distribution frameworks, as well as
the iconography of the Otok variant of Aucissa fibulae.
