Summary/Abstract: A tendency of current scholarship is to recover the historical information by publishing archaeological objects discovered in unknown conditions, within museum storehouses or particular collections. The current study follows the same line; it presents a group of late Roman fibulae (‘Zwiebelknopffibeln’) discovered on the current territory of Dobroudja (Scythia) outside a stratigraphic context. They were purchased partly by the Museum of National History and Archaeology in Constanţa and it represents an important contribution to enriching the repertory of fourth-century AD clothing accessories in the Danubian–Pontic area.
