There is no girdle, the arms are bare, no fibulae are shown. |
This account can be related to the evidence of archaeology, notably the distribution of types of fibulae, or brooches, worn by the women. |
Jewellery in metal includes fibulae, often with a row of disks hanging down on chains, armlets and some torcs. |
If fibulae were metal clasps, however, we have several varieties of ancient fibulae that might have been used for closing wounds. |
Likewise, the two bowknots replace the fibulae that would have held together an ancient peplos. |
The Spartan evidence for the pin and fibulae covers the later range of dates. |
