Objects and interpretations. About “the message” of “hybrid” fibulae

Summary/Abstract: The following discussion resumes a recurring theme chiefly in the Romanian and Bulgarian archaeology of the last decades, namely the issues related to the so‐called "hybrid” fibulae. Recent studies referring to this topic tried to clarify the typology and chronology of the previous definition(s) – rather unclear – of these pieces, and the “frontier” towards Thracian scheme fibulae or La Tène scheme fibulae. The "hybrid” fibulae diversity, their relatively small number and rather unique feature than clear or proper typological series – which combine elements derived from the two mentioned schemes –, place them rather in a "family" of copies than within a well enough defined "type". From the chronological perspective, they are to be situated (with a better probability, but still with some reserve) towards the ending production period of the Thracian fibulae that is by the end of the first half of the 3rd century BC.
