Sažetak

The text discusses several items of weaponry and combat equipment
from Bribirska Glavica. In our opinion, they are significant for the understanding
of the overall past of Bribir. They comprise an iron crossshaped
mounting and an ornamented stirrup from horse tack as well as
the remains of four iron maces. Unfortunately, we have no very detailed
information about the circumstances of the finds for any of them.
These items of weaponry and harness do add a great deal to the picture
of the Bribir past, from the 9th to the 12th century, and yet in their
fundamental cultural indicators they do not depart from the framework
that we know of for this site, from earlier work, and from other finds of
the early medieval period. Analysis in terms of typology and chronology
was used to try to show the different influences on the making of these
objects or their direct import from the then bigger workshop centres in
Central Europe and the Byzantine Empire. Their quality and excellence
of workmanship tellingly documents the high level of life in Bribir in the
centuries in which the nobiles Brberienses started their economic, military
and political rise.
