Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The funerary monument at Remerschen belongs to a Roman “op Mecheren” Villa nearby. The tomb was halfway between the villa and the river. The tomb foundation of 8.60 x 5.35 was topped by a monument measuring 4.40 x 2 m. The front faced the Mosel river and showed portraits of the family with a funerary inscription. The rear part showed reliefs with scenes from everyday life. The remains of a grape-picking winemaker and a couple on a departing wagon have survived. On the sides were dancers, maenads from the entourage of the wine god Dionysus. The top of the monument consisted of a roof with a pine cone on top. The monument is located nearby the picturesque natural parc and can be accessed from a wooden walking path around the nearby lake. The height of the tomb has been reconstructed at 6 m. The original of the bas-relief representing Vitis (personification of the vine) flanked by Cupids harvesting the grapes is now in the National Museum of Arts and History of Luxembourg. Interestingly, during the Frankish period, the bas-relief was removed from the funerary monument, hollowed out and used as a sarcophagus. Original parts of the monument are now in the Luxembourg National Museum of History and Art (MNHA). |
