Quote:The only thing that I am surprised about is the position of the fibula - would it have slipped or perhaps have been repositioned by the finder- supposing it was to be worn with the cross pointing upwards instead of the other way around, as the artwork of these fibulae shows?
Or perhaps the person dressing the corpse for burial wasn't that fussed about getting it the 'right' way up as it works as a brooch either way up?
Excellent information Lucianus.
