Orlic, L. "Željeznodobne fibule s nalazišta Četvrt Sv. Teodora u Puli / Iron Age fibulae from the site of St. Theodore's Quarter at Pula" in Histria Archaeologica 42 (Nov 1912), pp. 185 - 215.

Presented in this work are fibulae unearthed in the zone surrounding the temple of Hercules located in the vicinity of the freshwater spring. These fibulae were discovered either in the untouched layers on the slopes of a hillock at Pula, or in a layer of fill that served as a base for a drainage layer consisting of amphorae, which was erected in the third quarter of the 1st century BC. These fibulae encompass a period of time from the 6th to the middle of the 1st century BC. They were typologically determined, and each type is accompanied by data regarding its phases of existence, as well as location. The spread of most types was shown with the help of a chart. The possibility that a prehistoric sanctuary existed in the area around the freshwater spring even before the erection of Hercules' temple was likewise explored.
