Abstract
This paper focuses on the identification of three fibulae of the Middle La Tène scheme, and three vessels curated at the local museum in Çorum in eastern central Türkiye, which were published by Resul İbiş in 2021 in a museum report. To clarify the assignment of these vessels to eastern Galatia, we first summarised what was previously known and what was described by recent studies on so‑called “Galatian ware”. In the next chapter, we grouped 14 fibulae of the Middle and Late La Tène schemes from Türkiye into two typological groups and contextualised the Çorum fibulae among other Hellenistic examples from Asia Minor. In conclusion, one can see that the number of such finds connecting eastern Galatia to some contemporary material in continental Europe is increasing.
