Abstract

Among the many artefacts held by the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Franciscan monastery in Tolisa, the museum in Doboj, the Museum of Herzegovina in Mostar and other museums, are a number that form a diverse group including belt sets, belt plates, phalerae, buttons, strap-ends, pendants, the tips of scabbards and helmet parts. Most of these are belonged to military straps and belts, or to horse harness, shoes, armour etc., and were both practical and decorative. Some examples could be interpreted as apotropaic and prophylactic in nature. This broadly defined group also covers a wide range of dates, from the 1st century to late Antiquity.
