This book provides an introduction to Roman dress accessories -
defined here as what would today be called costume jewellery
(non-precious metal jewellery). Items such as bracelets and pins
are widely found in the Roman period in copper alloy, bone, glass,
jet, shale and other materials. Completely new objects were
introduced by the Romans, spread rapidly in each area of the Empire
and were adopted by local populations. Different styles of Roman
object became popular in each succeeding century, as dress fashions
changed. Using new evidence from finds, production areas,
distribution patterns and the locations of workshops are examined.
The interpretation of dress accessories is introduced, with
reference to the depiction of objects in Roman art. Brooches,
bracelets, beads, necklaces, rings, earrings, pins and belt sets
are explained in detail, and the most popular types are described
and illustrated, enabling the reader to identify common objects
that might be found on an archaeological site or in a museum.
