Le Fibule Dell'italia Meridionale E Della Sicilia Dall’ Eta del Bronzo Recente Al VI Secolo A.C.

With this work, the existence of a huge collection of brooches from the central Mediterranean landscape is for the first time presented and edited like a corpus. It reflects the relationship to the east Adriatic and Aegean, as well as the western Mediterranean regions, but also on past the Apennine peninsula to the north-reaching regions. The more than 8,000 bronze brooches, presented almost invariably at a scale of 1:3 on 739 panels, come mainly from southern Italy. About 1,000 were found in Sicily. They range from the 13th to 6th Century BC, but most belong to the latter centuries of this period. Italian text.
