Great coins, Oki ...

Ummm, at first I thought that you'd made a mistake saying "fibula" but apparently it is a leg-bone "and" a brooch or clasp for attaching garments (hey, I've already learned something today)

 

A fibula or fibulae is sort of savety pin.
I collect them on the side.

 

Trajan



Domitian

 

Nice Martin,

Trajan his run over his shoulder even rarer then normal aegis

 

Nice aegis bing, on hadrian i would say drapery

 

I have some with drapery on left shoulder, but a aegis, nope

 

A aegis or fibula

Here is a fibula (disk)

 

Y'all didn't pay attention in Biology class, did ya?



(Someone had to go there...)

Hmm, I don't have any coins which "officially" show a fibula or aegis-- according to references-- but based on the vague folds of drapery labeled as such in some of your images I'm going to pretend these coins show such a device too:

 

Eh tif in some my images here?
The 1e show clearly a fibula and last 1 also.
In reverences a fibula is not mentioned the germans call pendulamentum sometimes.
Your very nice hadrian tet i would call a fold.
For rest i see aegis and fibula

 

I believe that Probus can be seen wearing it on coins often described as cuirassed.

 

Yes Martin,

This could be a eagle fibula .
Nice coin.

 

An aegis

 

eh-heh-heh ... not unlike TIF, I'm not 100% sure which of these coins are legitimate candidates?

 

... yah, now I'm merely grasping

 

a Fibula

 

its hard to see tghem on coins.
the circle's and discfibula;s mostly Steve.

 

sweet => those are cool fibula-photos, Oki (ummm, are they photos from your own personal collection?)
