Description

Set of bridge fibula and two clasps; Visigothic culture, VI-VII century. Bronze. Measurements: 4 x 2 x 0.5 cm (smaller); 10 x 3 x 0.5 cm (larger). The Visigoths dominated the metal and the work of the same one, thus becoming great craftsmen. When the Visigoths left Italy with Ataulf, they headed towards the center and south of Gaul, passing from there to the Iberian Peninsula. Then, the Visigothic Kingdom of Toulouse (Toulouse, France), managed to conquer more territory in the peninsula, until Alaric II was defeated by the Franks, losing the French possessions and giving way to the so-called Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo, a period of great importance in the arts (characterized by a clear maintenance of Roman models along with Byzantine influences) and culture in general, which ended with the entry of the Muslims in the early seventh century.
