Silver jewelry of autochthonous style from south and south-east parts of roman province Dalmatia

In the hinterland of the middle Adriatic, at the sites Ivosevci (Burnum) and Podgradje (Asseria), were found the knee-like fibulae made of silver, on which were hanged the chains made of silver twisted wire with pendants. Silver fibulae of same type, also with hanged silver chains, were found in the region of south-east Dalmatia, at the sites Komini (Municipium S?) and Kolovrat. These finds confirmed the already existing thesis about the migration of the part of population from middle Dalmatia into its south-east regions around Komini and Kolovrat. The anlysis of jewelry from that region confirmed also the existence of an older ethnic component, maybe of Celtic origin, whose style of decorations is close to that one practiced by the inhabitants of the upper and middle part of Drina Valley. The specific local forms of decorations and jewelry have their origin in the transformation of the long-lasting influences from the Greek cultural circle and they bear witness to the conservatism of this population.
