Brooches of the Alesia group in Slovenia
Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on brooches belonging to the Alesia group. The study includes 18 out of the 24 examples known from Slovenia. In addition to typological and chronological questions, the paper concentrates on the alloys used for the brooches. The majority of these brooches were made of brass and originate most probably from Italian workshops. Brooches of the Alesia group are, for now, the oldest group of Roman brooches for which brass was used (at least in Italy). These results indicate that the Romans used brass in pre- Augustan period more extensively than has been generally accepted.
Keywords: Slovenia, 1st cent. BC, brooches of the Alesia Group
