Späteisenzeitliche Fibeln aus der Imre Pongrácz sammlung
Late Iron Buckles from Imre Pongrácz's Collection

Summary/Abstract: At the end of the 19th century, Imre Pongrácz was an officer in the port of Orșova, where he supervised the activities of the navigation channel. During this period, the workers handed him many archeological artifacts, discovered on the site. Pongrácz thus collected, after a while, a significant number of such objects and created a collection of 6000 pieces, later sold to the Museum of the Banat Mountain. Many of the pieces come from the right bank of the Danube, today in Serbia. The pieces were classified according to the material from which they were made (ceramic, metal, etc.), but their chronological classification was also tried, according to the periods to which they belong. This article deals with the brooches in this collection, dating from the late Iron Age, which cover almost entirely the phases of the La Tène culture, from B to D.
