\"Greek fibulas and Roman fibulas (toga pins) were used to fasten their owner\'s togas and as decorative elements. They were the ancient world\'s equivalent to the modern safety pin. They came in many styles and can make an interesting collection all on their own; they also make an interesting addition to a collection of ancient coins. They make beautiful display pieces but after having been buried for centuries they are no longer functional.\"
