The article analyzes the methods of use of brooches by the population of two faraway regions of the Sarmatian culture: Crimean Piedmont and Great Hungarian Plain. The study focuses on the types of brooches, their amount and situation in the burials of different age-sex groups. We succeeded in determining common consistent patterns and special features in the use of brooches by the inhabitants of the two regions, where brooches of different constructive types were in fashion. In the course of the Roman Age, the predominant costume included one brooch that fastened humeral outwear, most probably, a jacket or a robe. Despite of the significant similarity in the traditions of applying the brooches, it is doubtful whether we can speak about direct contracts or mutual influences of the populations of the two distant regions, because this costume model dominated on the whole territory of the Sarmatian world.

Keywords: Crimea, Great Hungarian Plain, Sarmatians, Roman Age, costume, brooches
