The fibula is a stray find discovered by locals near the Răzeni village in the Ialoveni district of the Republic of Moldova and in 2022 was transferred to the National Museum of the History of Moldova. This is a two-plate fibula with a rhombic foot and a semicircular head. Its body was made of white metal (silver?) enclosed in a gold overlay. The shields and the arched bow were decorated with carnelian and overlaid metal elements (grain, double spirals, ribbed and openwork). This type of brooches is part of the "ethnographic" female costume of the Chernyakhov culture of the late Roman period. At the beginning of the Great Migration Period, this dress served as the basis for the formation of the "princely" costume of the East German tradition with large two-plate brooches, which became widespread in the 5 th century AD from the Atlantic to the North Caucasus. The fibula has a prestigious character and belongs to the "princely" culture of the initial phase of the Migration Period. According to the general morphology, it belongs rather to the D1 period i. e., 360/370—400/410, and according to the design analogues on large brooches, it belongs to the D2 period or 380/400—440/450. In Eastern Europe, both of these periods are usually combined in the framework of the so-called Hunnic time. Two versions of the identification of this fibula are possible. Perhaps this is a children's copy of a large fibula. Another scenario is that the size of the fibula reflects the status level of their owners. It is possible that this item was intended for ladies who occupy a high position in society, but who, according to the hierarchy, were "below" the bearers of large polychrome brooches.

"The chapters of Fibula, Fabula, Fact – The Viking Age in Finland are intended to provide essential foundations for approaching the important topic of the Viking Age in Finland. These chapters are oriented to provide introductions to the sources, methods and perspectives of diverse disciplines in a way that is accessible to specialists from other fields, specialists from outside Finland, and also to non-specialist readers and students who may be more generally interested in the topic. Rather than detailed case studies, the contributors have sought to negotiate definitions of the Viking Age as a historical period in the cultural areas associated with modern-day Finland, and in areas associated with Finns, Karelians and other North Finnic linguistic-cultural groups more generally. Within the incredible diversity of data and disciplines represented here, the Viking Age tends to be distinguished by differentiating it from earlier and later periods, while the geographical space is quite fluidly defined for this era, which was long before the construction of modern nations with their fenced and guarded borders. Most significantly, the contributions lay emphasis on contextualizing the Viking Age within the complexities of defining cultural identities in the past through traces of cultural, linguistic or genetic features.

The volume opens with a general introduction to the topic that is intended to provide a frame of reference for discussion, paralleled by a closing afterward. The following chapters are organized according to three thematic sections which reflect the three aspects of any discussion of the Viking Age in Finland: Time, Space, and People – because any discussion of the 'Viking Age' in 'Finland' is necessarily concerned with individuals, societies and cultures."

Se analiza un conjunto de puentes y resortes de fíbula procedentes de la necrópolis de La Osera (Ávila), y los poblados de Las Cogotas (Ávila) y el Cerro del Berrueco (Salamanca), correspondientes a sistemas de resorte poco comunes en la Península Ibérica. Se identifican dos resortes de los conocidos como "con doble bucle", que a partir de los paralelos y las fíbulas del poblado se asocian a los modelos de torre cilíndrica, muy abundantes en el área vetona, y cuatro puentes con la cabecera perforada que probablemente se correspondan con resortes remachados, tratándose así de fíbulas elaboradas en dos piezas. Se trata de fíbulas de pie alzado con pie cuadrado asociadas a ajuares militares en todos los casos para los que conocemos contexto. Su escasez puede ser debida a su fragilidad, lo cual conlleva su rápida sustitución por los resortes clásicos de dos piezas. ; It is analyzed a set of fibula's bridges and springs coming from La Osera's necropolis (Ávila), and from the archaeological sites of Las Cogotas (Ávila) and El Cerro del Berrueco (Salamanca), belonging to rare spring systems in the Iberian Peninsula. Two springs known as "double loop" are identified, which from the parallels and the fibulae of the archaeological site, are associated with cylindrical tower models, very common in the vetonian area, and four bridges with perforated head that probably correspond to riveted springs, implying that these fibulae are made in two pieces. These are square-elevated foot fibulae, associated with military attachments in all cases for which we know context. Their scarcity may be due to their fragility, which entails their quickly replacement by the classic two pieces springs.

The article discusses an iron pincer fibula, originating from the excavations led by A. N. Bashenkin on the Suda river. The fibula comes from a partially destroyed burial ground with cremations Nikolskoye XVII, dating from the 2nd—3rd centuries up to 9th—10th centuries. Pincer fibulae are a rather rare variety of Roman provincial hinged brooches, most common in Northern Italy, Eastern Gaul and the Balkans. On the territory of Eastern Europe, finds of pincer fibulae are rare. According to the author, pincer fibulae could have entered the Sheksna basin from the south, from the side of the Oka basin, most likely in the 3rd century.

Fibulae are one of the brightest chronological indicators that constantly attract the attention of researchers. However, unlike burial complexes, finds of intact items in settlements are quite rare. In all recent years of research in the Bosporan city of Tyritake, the author has identified only two intact fibulae. These are: a two-pieces arched bronze fibula and a two-plate silver fibula. Both of them belong to the circle of East German artifacts and correspond to the period D1-D2 of the "barbarian" chronology. It is difficult to say if the fibulae found in Tyritake should be considered as a certain ethnic marker, indicating the presence of individual representatives of the East German tribes among the inhabitants of this provincial Bosporan city in the 4th — first half of the 5th centuries, or it was just a tribute to the "fashionable" trends in the Bosporus. However, in any case, the unearthed fibulae reflect the ethno-political trends common to the entire Bosporan Kingdom.

En este artículo se quiere llamar la atención sobre la aparición de una "fíbula de rodilla" (Kniefibeln) en el yacimiento romano de Los Arroyos II en Hijes (Guadalajara); su presencia es muy significativa dado que se trata de un tipo propio de Europa central y este es el primer ejemplar conocido en la Península Ibérica. El estudio tipológico de los elementos materiales es imprescindible en la investigación arqueológica pero, más allá de su mera clasificación, deben ser considerados como parte de las prácticas sociales y como reflejo de las personas que los fabricaron y utilizaron. La presencia de esta fíbula en la Meseta, lugar muy alejado de los territorios centroeuropeos, puede indicar movimientos de personas, presumiblemente militares termestinos, entre los ejércitos que defendían el limes germánico y renano-danubiano. Esta conclusión está avalada no solo por los datos que aporta la arqueología, sino también por documentos epigráficos, lo que confirma la necesidad metodológica de manejar diferentes fuentes de información para abordar un mismo estudio histórico. ; In this paper we want to highlight on the recent finding of one Kniefibeln in the roman site of "Los Arroyos II", Hijes (Guadalajara, Spain). Its presence is really significant because this kind of fibeln basically came from Central Europe and this is the first one find in the Iberian Peninsula. The typological study is an essential part of the archaeological research but, on top of the basic technical aspects, it must be analized its social uses as well as the people who made and dressed it. The finding of this fibeln in Spanish Plateau, far from the place it was manufactured, indicates population movement, supposedly soldiers from Tiermes, moved to defend the Germanic and Rhenish-Danubian limes. This conclusion is supported not only by archaeological data but also by epigraphic documents. This tell us that, under a methodological point of view, we have to focus the historical studies from different information sources.

The category of one-looped fibula type with asymmetrical plate has been discussed since the late 1980s, especially with regard to their connection with Greek "geometric" models. The aim of the paper is first to supplement the previous studies about the fibula type by re-examining the typological details and to propose several variants. The integration of one-looped bow fibulae with square/rectangular plate into the discussion as well as the spatial distribution of the proposed variants shall complete the study. The heterogeneity of the type and even the variants lead to chronological problems regarding the exact dating within the first horizon of the Early Iron Age (8th/7th century BCE). Therefore, the chronological position of the fibulae variants is discussed based on existing relative chronological systems taking into account the local contexts in which the fibulae in question occur.

Introduction. The article is devoted to characterizing the decorative features of the fibulabrooch discovered during the study of the mound in the northern surrounding areas of Cherkessk (territory of the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia) and stored in the collection of the Stavropol State Museum. The aim of the publication is to introduce the poorly known scientific material into scientific use. A full set of illustrations and accurate measurements will further avoid confusion with the description of the specific artifact (in existing publications there are no drawings; conclusions are based only on photos). Explanations relate to the history of the brooch and details of its decoration.

Methods. The comparative typological method is used as a working one. It is based on the classification by material, processing method, form, ornamentation, as well as identifying and studying types of brooches with pendants. The comparative analysis of the decor of the brooch from the Stavropol museum and similar brooches with pendants found in the western part of the North Caucasus shows the variety of polychrome decoration production technologies in the region in the 3rd – 1st centuries BC: preserving the traditions of Bosporan jewelry art; distribution of the elements of Colchian toreutics.

Analysis. The paper considers design features of brooches from the Stavropol museum and monuments of the Western Ciscaucasia: details of zoomorphic figurines; characteristics of caste design; wire inlay; form and features of enamel inserts; character of pendant weaving and features of the design of suspended discs.

Results. In the production of hollow zoomorphic images of the 3rd – 1st century BC there were two lines of development: 1) simplified modeling of figurines modeled on the pattern of Colchian products of the 5th – 4th centuries BC (Psenafa and others); 2) continuation of the tradition of producing jewelry with enamel (brooch from the mound in the land of Rodina state farm). In the first case, the simplicity and negligence of execution evidence established local production of imitations of Colchian images. In the second case, elegance of images and refinement of execution emphasize the creation of brooches of Karachay-Cherkessia in one of the centers of Bosporus toreutics which was under the influence of Colchian jewelry.

This study deals with the analysis of lower leg fractures in pedestrians and bicyclists after collisions with passenger cars and examines to what extent the shape and location of the factures in the lower leg changed, following alterations in the shape of bumpers. It can be assumed that that the bumpers changed in shape and effective impact height, not least due to the realization of the developments of vehicle safety tests as in the context of the European Union Directive 2003/102/EC on pedestrian protection. In addition, consumer protection tests, EuroNCAP, accomplished a change of the injury situation. All of these are mainly focused on pedestrian protection measurements but adopt the bicyclists also in their goal.

The authors report a case of a gunshot complex combined skeletal and soft tissue defect of the upper extremity complicated by chronical wound infection successfully treated with fibula osteoseptocutaneous free flap. A military man had sustained a gunshot-comminuted fracture and diaphyseal defect of both bones in the middle third of the right forearm fixed by Ilizarov external fixator. There also was a soft tissue defect on the radial aspect of the right forearm and persisting chronic wound process. A free vascularized osteoseptocutaneous fibula graft was harvested from the right lower extremity, prepared and inserted between radius fragments. Fixation of the graft was made by locking intramedullary nail. All wounds and the donor site healed primarily. Postoperative x-rays at 5 months demonstrated healing at both ends of the fibular graft. ; Описан клинический пример успешного применения кровоснабжаемого кожно-костного малоберцового лоскута при лечении огнестрельного кожно-костного дефекта верхней конечности, осложненного хроническим раневым процессом. Военнослужащему с огнестрельным оскольчатым переломом, дефектом средней трети диафиза костей правого предплечья, фиксированным аппаратом Илизарова, дефектом мягких тканей по лучевой поверхности правого предплечья и сохраняющимся хроническим раневым процессом выполнена пересадка свободного кровоснабжаемого малоберцового кожно-фасциально-костного трансплантата, взятого c правой нижней конечности. Фиксация трансплантата осуществлена интрамедуллярным гвоздем с блокированием. Достигнуто полное приживление лоскута, купирование раневого процесса в раннем послеоперационном периоде. Сращение костной части трансплантата с отломками лучевой кости наступило через 5 мес. после операции.
