The research history of the Sösdala finds from the early Migration Period is reviewed. Many well-preserved mounts of a parade bridle and several saddles were found at Sösdala, Scania, in 1929–1930. The find was not presented internationally until 1937 when J.E. Forssander published his celebrated paper “Provinzialrömisches und germanisches”. But only the punch-decorated silver mounts became famous since they were used to define his “Sösdala style”. The outlook of other scholars was limited to the material published by Forssander and thematically research was restricted to questions about the origin and chronology of the Sösdala style. Research about the relation of the Sösdala finds to Late Roman provincial arts and crafts and to the Scandinavian “Nydam style” is treated.
