About the sinuous fibulae (Geschweifte fibeln) in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The German name “geschweifte Fibeln” refers to a certain “typological family” of fibulae of the Late La Tène scheme, widespread in Central, North Central and Eastern Europe. Sinuous fibulae became the guiding fossil of the post Manching phase, respectively the LT D2 phase, interposed between the final occupation stage of the Manching oppidum (LT D1) and the Roman conquest of the north alpine regions. Despite their relative rarity, the sinuous fibulae discovered in Romania are of particular importance for the periodization of the Late La Tène period at the Lower Danube and in Transylvania.
