abstract = "In this article, we take a look at a Roman Iron Age fibula found in Hirvensalmi from an archaeological and linguistic perspective. The value of a single object or object type is limited when examining the spread of languages. The fact is, however, that the users of objects have acquired the items by using a language or languages. From this perspective, even a single object can be associated with language – even though we do not know which languages the user spoke. Since the occurence of the fibula type coincides with the spread of Proto-Finnic in Finland, the fibulae may have served as a symbol of a certain kind of group identity in their core distribution area. It is possible that they were even produced and used by Proto-Finnic speaking groups. These groups may have called the brooch with words that are still being used in Finnish: nasta {\textquoteleft}thump pin{\textquoteright} (← Proto-Germanic / Proto-Scandinavian *nasta {\textquoteleft}fibulae{\textquoteright}) or solki {\textquoteleft}fibulae{\textquoteright} (← unknown language). A possible name is also pankku {\textquoteleft}fibulae{\textquoteright} (← ? Proto-Scandinavian *spangu {\textquoteleft}fibulae{\textquoteright}) that has disappeared from the modern language.",
