Ivan Bugarski - Vujadin Ivanisevic 1 mS Ли-the direct presence of the Northern Germans in the Balkans, while the rest of the mentioned objects, in a group of which there are also some imitations, would rather represent their indirect cultural influence. A find very important for our analysis comes from Kasidol, some 20 km south-east of Margum. The fibula with a rectangular head, found by chance, is of Scandinavian origin (Fig. 4: 1). It derives from continental brooches of the Nordic type - the Langweid Group A, which has been modelled, according to Karen Hoilund Nielsen, after Southeastern Scandinavian brooches. They may be dated to Stage В (510/ 525-565). As for the distribution pattern of the Langweid Group A finds, it shows concentration in the Middle Rhine region, at that time populated by Thuringian and Saxon settlers. These brooches were manufactured in local workshops (Hoilund Nielsen 2009. 69- 73, 81-95, Fig. 16.b). A somewhat different view is that such brooches derived from Scandinavian finds of the Sjovold Alb type, dated from the middle of the 5th to the first quarter of the 6th century (Ivanisevic-Kazanski 2010. 152-153). Be this as it may, the brooch from Kasidol, together with the specimens from the Szolnok-Szanda cemetery (Bóna-Nagy 2002. PI. 38: 3, PI. 99: 1) and Augusta (Haralambieva 1984. Fig. 6), represent the prototype for two fibulae from the cemetery of the foederati at Viminacium, the Vise Grobalja site (IvaniSevic et al. 2006. 15, Fig. 8: 4-6) (Fig. 4: 2-3). A golden amulet found in grave 2083 at the same site - flat, thin, single-sided medal decorated with a simple incised ornament disposed in two circles (Fig. 5: 3) - resembles parts of some well-known golden bracteates (Pedersen 2009. 287-289, Fig 1). Here we should mention another important find: golden necklace pendants of apparent South Scandinavian origin, coming from a hoard from the present-day Udovice village, situated on the bank of the Danube, between Singidunum and Viminacium (Fig. 5: 1-2). The pendants are composed of golden Roman coins minted in the 5th century and mounted in a Scandinavian tradition of gold filigree work (Fischer 2008. 81-82, cf. Ivanisevic-Kazanski 2010. 154—155). While Svante Fischer associated them with South Scandinavian mercenaries and particularly Heruls (Fischer 2008. 86-88), Ivana Popovic mistakenly believed the pendants came from the Gothic cultural circle (Popovic 2008. 73-80). According to the most recent analysis of pottery from the Singidunum cemeteries, accomplished by Jaroslav Tejral, pots from a few graves of the Singidunum III necropolis (Ivanisevic-0 Fig. 5 1-2: The Udovice hoard, 3: Viminacium, a find from the cemetery (after Popovic 2008., Ivanisevic et al. 2006.) 5. kép 1-2: Udovice, kincslelet, 3: Viminacium, sírlelet (Popovic 2008., Ivanisevic et al. 2006. alapján) 472
