Finds of fibulae from 1st cent. BC in Croatia: Trade and exchange between Eastern Alps, Danube and North Adriatic Region before and during the Roman conquest

Finds of brooches can show directions of communications, movement of people or trade connections. In East Slavonia, numerous finds come from Scordiscan sites, from imported Italic bronze ware to brooches, sometimes with local imitations with limited distribution and specific characteristics, like variants of Nauheim or Jezerine types. Recent finds of LT D2 types previously unknown in the area, like A65 or A18a, show that voids on distribution maps are probably result of lack of research or publication. In the Iapodic area, imported brooches appear especially in the Una valley. The distribution maps reveal the route that connected the coast with the hinterland, with a particulary important position of Segestica, later Siscia. Types as Distelfibel, Langton Down or Alesia brooches are maybe result of Roman army movement, but not all finds can be associated with military presence.
