Roman Triskel trumpet brooch

The origin of the so-called Roman trumpet ornament is Britain likely. The name is modern and an allusion to the ending of the ornament in thickenings, which reminds of a trumpet.
The 3-dimensional, floral appearance of these pieces of jewelry is due to Celtic influences, which were particularly lively in Britain and which had a strong influence on provincial Roman art. Not only in the style, but also in the selection of the motifs, for example with the well-known Celtic Triskele, ment a return to the Celtic roots. This period of roman art is called the "Celtic renaissance".
With the roman legionaries from Britain, the trumpet ornamentation spread throughout the Roman Empire, where the new style quickly became very popular.
