The strongly profiled brooch is a Roman-Germanic form of crossbow brooch and is characterised by a relatively short, strongly widened curved head, under which there is usually a support plate that holds the spiral scroll. It is usually between 4 and 7 cm in size. In the later forms of the strongly profiled fibulae, the support plate of the spiral roll can also be completely covered.

During the Roman period, this type of brooch was widespread in the East Germanic region, but it was also found in northern Germany, northern Italy and the eastern Alps and was also widespread in the Danube provinces.

Among the West Germanic tribes in the lower Elbe region, the strongly profiled brooches without a supporting plate were particularly widespread, often decorated with beaded wire. In southern Scandinavia, on the other hand, ribbon-shaped brooches were more popular at the same time.
The type of strongly profiled brooch is very long-lived and can still be found in Austria in the 4th century.
