Abstract
In the year 2007, the partial unearthing of the House 3 in Bir el-Showish (el-Hayez oasis, Egypt) yielded a bronze clothing fibula with onion-shaped knobs belonging to typical examples of Late Roman men's fibulae, originating in a military environment (Almgren 191-192, Keller 1, 280-450 AD). The fibula was most probably manufactured in the Danubian provinces of the Roman Empire and it belongs to the cathegory of remarkable evidence of the people's or goods traffic across vast distances.
