Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on some types of bracelets with rosettes from the early Iron Age in the eastern regions of Europe. The bracelets with protrusions grouped into a rosette of 2-5 bulges, as well as with protrusions-legs on which 3-5 balls are located are considered. The work is based on a selection of 45 bracelets (including fragments) and 2 casting molds; a catalog of the artifacts has been compiled, including 39 items. A typology of such products is proposed, which are divided into 3 orders and 5 types (with subtypes). On Geto-Dacian and Scythian sites of the 4th century BC, there is such a type of adornments as bracelets with rosettes of 3, less often of 4 bulges. They were most widespread in the northwestern Black Sea region and the Carpathian-Danube region, and are rarely found in the Middle Dnieper region. Bracelets with rosettes of 5 protru- sions are found on Scythian and Dnieper-Dvina sites in the Upper and Lower Dnieper region, north of the Black and Azov Seas, and date back to the mid-4th century - first half of the 3rd century BC. As for bracelets with balls on a leg, the area of their use is limited to the Carpathian-Danube region, and the chronological framework is the 2nd century BC - 1st century AD.
