Ancient Roman Bronze Large Ring Buckle. 3rd century AD

Beautiful patina.
Dimensions;diametar 55mm

Huge ring buckles were used from the early- to mid-3rd into the early 4th century.  Many of these ring buckles were plain though some had a loop, or indentation, in them.  These indentations are found in many forms: square, triangular, rosette or ring.  These buckles were used on belts that divided near their end into two narrow strips, each of which ended in a terminal.  The plain loop buckles were fastened by looping the leather through the belt and then fastening it to the belt leather, some distance away from the loop buckle, with a fungiform stud.  The buckles with indentations were fastened by sliding a tall double-fungiform stud, attached to the belt leather, into the extension loop on the buckle.  Some sources instead label these large rings with indentations as fibulae though Roman carvings show that they were used as buckles.  A variation of the ring buckle was the square frame buckle which was also used with the two belt ends.  Like the ring buckles these buckles had no pin.  Instead the belt ends went through the loops on each side.
