The paper offers a new perspective on a series of Great Moravian belt-ends of the Bojná type, dated to the second half of the 9th c. and especially to the end of the 9th c. New finds, mainly from the Bojná-Valy hill fort, allow us to add another variant to the type and to change our view on the distribution of these belt-ends. The distribution of the belt-ends reflects the borders of the Nitra province at the end of the 9th c., as well as its central and strategic places – where troops were probably constantly present. The unique find of the Bojná type belt-end from Zalavár in Hungary can therefore be given an interesting interpretation, historically related to the Great Moravian expansion during the Svatopluk period.
