Abstract

This paper focuses on nine fibulae curently housed in the Museum of Lycian Civilisations in Demre (ancient Myra), in south-western Türkiye. These finds were transferred from Antalya Archaeological Museum to the recently inaugurated museum in Lycia, and none of them comes from documented excavations. They belong to the Iron Age (cat. nos. 1–7) and the Roman period (cat. nos. 8–9). Their significance lies in the fact that fibulae are scarcely attested in scholarly literature for this area.
