This looks like a great project.
And I have to confess that most of my early article titles were lame puns or pop culture references.
About the elbow fibulae, very similar ones, although curved rather than angular, are worn by Cappadocians on the Persepolis reliefs. They appear to be worn with semicircular cloaks. This image is pillaged from Nirupars.com, although their galleries appear to be taken down lately. Having one cast would be expensive, but I'm looking into a method of fabricating one with brass rod and beads that should hopefully be pretty cheap if you already have the correct tools.

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
