With brooches like this cross brooch, the Iron Age Germanic tribes
fastened their cloaks and garments, e.g. the women their peplos, which were worn closed on the shoulders, as was common in many parts of Europe in antiquity.
It is impossible to imagine the garments of the
Germanic peoples of the Iron Age without this type of fibula - it was an essential part of the costume.
