Fibula digitată de la Lăceni (com. Orbeasca, jud. Teleorman)
Fibula digitată a fost descoperită la sfârșitul anilor ‘60 pe teritoriul satului Lăceni, la circa 500 m nord de uzina de apă ce deservește orașul Alexandria, de către personalul acesteia. Fibula, păstrată într-o bună stare, a fost lucrată în totalitate din bronz, fiind turnată într-un tipar monovalv. Are o lungime de 5,4 cm și o lățime maximă de 3,2 cm. Placa superioară, semicirculară, este prevăzută cu cinci butoni semisferici de 0,5 cm lungime. Piciorul plăcii inferioare este în formă de liră. La capătul arcului de legătură dintre placa superioară și cea a piciorului, de o parte și de alta, fibula este prevăzută cu câte două proeminente aviforme. Pe placa semidiscoidală și pe cea a piciorului, ca și pe arcul de legătură dintre ele, sunt prezente ornamente formate din nervuri paralele ce urmăresc conturul fibulei. Apendicele terminal al plăcii piciorului este ornamentat cu o proeminenţă-buton semisferic, delimitat de zona plăcii piciorului prin trei șănțuiri. Fibula păstrează resortul în întregime, urechile de fixare a acestuia și portagrafa în formă de cârlig. Fibula descoperită la Lăceni face parte din tipul cu liră și este considerată o fibulă slavă, fiind datată spre sfârșitul sec. VI d.Hr. și prima jumătate a sec. VII d.Hr. Alte exemplare au fost descoperite în România în necropola de incinerație slavă de la Sărata Monteoru dar și la Pergam (Turcia) sau Kiev (Ucraina). Deși este considerată o fibulă slavă, acest tip a avut o largă răspândire, fiind prezent și în medii neslave, cum ar fi arealul gepido-avar din Ungaria. Cercetătorii au analizat elementele componente ale tipului „cu liră” și au ajuns la concluzia că originea acestuia este bizantină, el derivând dintr-un anumit model de cataramă ce are partea inferioară în formă de liră.
SIGILII ROMANO-BIZANTINE ŞI BIZANTINE DIN DOBROGEA I. SIGILII IMPERIALE ȘI COMERCIALE Eugen Paraschiv-Grigore
„Sigilografia sau sfragistica este știința care are ca obiect de cercetare atât impresiunile sigilare, cât și matrițele, care sunt studiate din toate punctele de vedere: istoric, artistic, tehnic, diplomatic. Tot această știință mai studiază și modalitățile de aplicare a sigiliului, ocupându-se de depistarea falsurilor sigilare, precum și de conservarea și restaurarea pieselor. Începutul acestei științe este legat de necesitatea de a putea deosebi documentele originale de cele falsificate și de garantarea autenticității acestora, încă din perioada medievală. În secolul al XVIII lea apare un număr însemnat de cataloage și albume, realizate de către colecționari pasionați, în care erau reproduse diverse sigilii sau matrițe sigilare. Însă, cel care fundamentează sigilografia ca știință este socotit Johann Heineccius (Heinecke), cu lucrarea sa De veteribus Germanorum aliarumque nationum sigillis (Frankfurt – Leipzig, 1709). După apariția acestei lucrări, sigilografia devine un domeniu curent de cercetare.” (din „Introducere”)
