Abstract
The main aim of the paper is to present a rare brooch type. Architectural brooches are plate brooches and follow the shape of variously designed buildings. They belong to two main categories and imitate tower/wall‑shaped and aedicula/temple‑shaped monuments. The wearing of these brooches certainly transferred a conscious and a subconscious meaning. Scholars attempted to connect them with decayed buildings and imperial propaganda. The present summary of temple/aedicula‑shaped objects and the motif’s depictions on small f inds, ceramic objects, and coins supplement our knowledge about the usage of this pictorial detail. Although the brooches were previously described as military accessories, the present research suggests women probably also wore them.
