Alloy...
It should be noted that silver-plated items are coated with a layer of real silver. This can wear off over time if worn regularly and in direct contact with the skin.
The Roman omega brooch originally came from Spain and spread through the Ibero-Gallic auxiliary troops of the Romans to the Rhine, where it was mainly used in military units around the birth of Christ.
The Roman omega fibulae were on average between 2 and 6 cm in size, whereby the smallest fibulae were probably used more as a kind of buckle. Leather armour, for example, is known from Germanic graves of the 2nd century, which were closed with omega brooches attached to the side.
The pin of the omega brooch is pushed through the fabric and then locked with the movable round part so that the brooch can no longer come loose. In addition to omega brooches with bent ends, there were also brooches with button-shaped or snake-headed ends and brooches with curled ends or acorn-shaped ends.
