Outstanding Aucissa military brooch with wolf head
 

 

      
 

 

   A rare I c. A.D. military fibula with a wolf head appliqué on the foot. The arch is openworked.

   The presence of the wolf head can be explained in two ways, either as a symbol of the Roman Lupa Capitolina, the she-wolf which suckled Romulus and Remus,
   or as a heraldic symbol of a military group.

   This fibula shape, known as aucissa, is considered as specific of the military domain.
