Replica of a Roman swastika brooch.
Here you can buy a detailed replica of a Roman swastika brooch, made after an artefact from the 3rd century AD.The swastika brooch was made after a find from a private collection and represents a rather unique subtype of the typical swastika brooches of Roman provenance.
This type of Roman fibula is rather rare and a collateral line of the typical Roman horse-head fibulae, whereby the original form had changed to an amorphous shape. However, swastika fibulae were widespread throughout the Roman Empire, from Britain to Syria.

Fibulae with depictions of swastikas can be found in many areas of the Roman Empire. The Romans called the swastika crux gammata because the hooks were reminiscent of an inverted Greek gamma.
The swastika has been used by many cultures since ancient times and symbolises the sun and other positive forces. It is still widely used today as a sacred symbol by Hindus.
There were brooch types that were shaped like a typical German swastika, as well as those that had rather rounded arms or ended in horse heads, or had an amorphous shape.
