For the first time ever is the large, manifold collection of late Roman brooches and belt fittings from the late third until the first half of the fifth century AD from the provincial capital Augusta Vindelicum/Augsburg documented and typologically analysed. The find contexts and the spatial distribution in the urban area was also assessed. The so called crossbow brooches and the different belt fittings were mainly used by civil servants and soldiers of the late Roman army. The finds are a significant reference group for the Roman Alpine and Danube provinces and prove the presence of Roman administration and military in Augsburg up to the second quarter or the mid fifth century AD.
