Roman Jewellery and Its Depictions on the Monuments of Transalpine Provinces
Krejčiříková, Karolina ; Ondřejová, Iva (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
1 Abstract (in English): This dissertation compares depictions of Roman jewellery and brooches on monuments with archaeological finds. These monuments are mainly of funerary character and they come primarily from Noricum, Pannonia, Germania, in lesser amount also from Gallia and some other areas. Jewellery is also related to local variants of provincial clothing. A typology of Roman jewellery is given and subsequently I try to find analogies to these jewellery types among the depictions. The typology mentioned here doesn't represent a complete list of jewellery types and variants. It focuses on the most common variants and variants which are relevant to the depictions of jewellery. By comparison of the archaeological finds to the depictions it is possible to obtain more accurate image of the appearance of clothing in different provincial areas and also of some specific traditions related to jewellery. The majority of depicted jewellery was identified with archeaological finds of jewellery, yet some cases stay unclear.

Technology and production of Roman provincial brooches from Noricum and Pannonia
Srbová, Lucie ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Titz, Pavel (referee)
This bachelors thesis is concerned with the technology of non-ferrous metal processing and their alloys in Roman era. Describes centres of mining in the area of Roman provinces Noricum and Pannonia as well as production of brooches in these provinces. Main goals are to review and appreciate technology and partly typology of a Roman provincial set of brooches from collection of Institute of Classical Archaeology of Charles University in Prague utilizing non-destructive analytical methods and to create a reference file based on results of the analysis and assessment of effectiveness of methods used with regard to possible future research. Elemental composition of given brooches was established using energy- dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), electron microscopy (SEM) and radiography (RTG). Results as well as interpretation are presented as catalogue. Key words: Roman archaeology, brooches, roman technology, metallurgy

Roman and Germanic brooches in Central Europe. (The archaeology of barbarians 2012)
Droberjar, E. ; Komoróczy, Balázs
The collected volume, which comprises papers from 49 authors, is thematically focused on brooches of the Iron Age, Roman Period and Migration Period. Brooches represent one of the most important categories of artefacts in protohistoric archaeology and their role in the acquisition of knowledge about barbarian communities is often irreplaceable. Celtic, Roman or Germanic brooches are remarkable, quantitatively representative and morphologically variegated finds. The wide spectrum of their information possibilities often goes beyond the potential of the other tangible evidence. They represent one of the buttresses of relative-chronological systems and contribute significantly to the detailed knowledge of many aspects of human cultures in the past, including the production procedures, trade and other forms of interactions, social differentiation or regional modifications of fashion trends. Most of the 33 chapters published in this volume were presented and vividly discussed in the VIII Protohistoric Conference, which was held in premises of the Palacký University in Olomouc in 2012. The authors strived to put together individual groups of new brooch finds from the barbarian territory in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Poland) but also from peripheral parts of the Roman Empire, from provinces. In individual chapters they tried to outline several aspects of their documentation and classification and paid attention to analysis of selected categories. The authors publish in this volume new assemblages of finds and pay attention to various partial analyses of individual types or groups of brooches within a long period of time and with respect to current state of research.
