Small robe clasp with gold disc
Brooches, i.e. metal clasps similar to safety pins, were usually used as clothing fasteners. Large specimens probably secured heavy wool coats, while delicate brooches secured lighter items of clothing.

Was the Celtic prince of Glauberg a hunter? Some goods in his grave allow this conclusion. The safest solution seems to be the deposit of three arrows.
Swords were among the most representative weapons in the Iron Age. Especially when, as in the case of the weapon from grave 2 from Glauberg, they were in richly decorated metal scabbards.
When the dead man was found in grave 1 of Glauberg, the excavators discovered two small rings made of gold wire in the area of his head. With diameters of less than 8 millimeters and a maximum wire thickness of 1.45 millimeters, their use as earrings seems questionable.
The comb has serrations on both sides with different densities of teeth. On the right it shows a simple dot pattern. It was carved from boxwood, which was not native to the North Western Provinces in Roman times.
Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a projectile is being used based on the iron reinforcement alone. As in the case of a 16.6 centimeter long tip from grave 2 from Glauberg.
The small oak sword, which was found in a well in the village just outside the Saalburg gates, resembles a gladius in shape. The simple carving may have been used in the hand of a child at play.
The dental pliers have long, straight handles that end in a ball knob. The handles were probably wrapped in leather or cloth to ensure safe handling.
The small stamp belongs to the group of eye salve or collyria stamps, which were only widespread in the northwestern provinces of the Roman Empire. The medicines were formed into small, long oval shapes, stamped and then dried. To use, they were then mixed back into water or egg white to form an ointment.
The small box is divided into five inner compartments that were closed with lids, of which only two remain. Circumferential lines decorated the lid, the edge was finely notched, and a movable handle was attached to the top. The sliding lid that was supposed to close the entire box was no longer found during the excavation.
