The omega brooch is by far one of the longest and most widespread types of brooch and was already in use 2000 years ago among the Romans and Germanic tribes.
Originally, the omega brooch is of Spanish origin and probably spread through Ibero-Gallic auxiliary troops of the Romans via Gaul to the Rhine, where it became widespread around the birth of Christ, especially in the military sector.
