Summary

Description
English: Romanic-style woman's jewellery from Grave 32, Castel Trosino
  • Province of Ascoli Piceno, Region Marche, Italy

Following the destruction of the eponymous castle during the Gothic Wars, it was occupied in 578 by the Lombards and rebuilt. Southeast of the castle are three burial grounds of varying sizes. 238 body graves have been documented. Exceptionally rich endowments were discovered in 33 of them, and the large number of noble metal objects is especially noteworthy. The majority of the graves are simple ground burials. In addition, there are a few walled constructions as well as a series of stone plate graves, a typically Romanic form. Analysis of the range of grave goods suggests that not only immigrant Lombards were interred in this necropolis, but also members of the established Romanic population.

Grave 32
East-west oriented grave of a woman garbed in Romanic costume (cross fibula). Ceramic vessel located at her feet, the other goods at her breast.
1. Equilateral cross fibula of silver with the inscription RUSTICA + VIVAT (long live Rustica).
2. Carafe-like vessel.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Museo nazionale dell'Alto Medioevo, Rome.
Deutsch: Romanischer Frauenschmuck von Grab 32, Castel Trosino
  • Provinz Ascoli Piceno, Region Marche, Italien

Nachdem die namengebende Festung in den Gotenkriegen zerstört worden war, wurde sie 578 von den Langobarden besetzt und wieder aufgebaut. Südöstlich des Kastells befinden sich drei unterschiedlich große Bestattungsplätze, die Dokumentation umfasst 238 Körpergräber. In 33 von ihnen wurden sehr reiche Beigabenausstattungen entdeckt, wobei der überdurchschnittlich hohe Anteil von Objekten aus Edelmetall besonders markant ist. Bei der überwiegenden Zahl von Grablegen handelt es sich um einfache Erdbestattungen. Daneben gibt es einige gemauerte Anlagen sowie eine Reihe von Steinplattengräbern, eine typische romanische Grabform. Die Analyse des Beigabenspektrums spricht dafür, dass in dieser Nekropole nicht nur zugewanderte Langobarden, sondern auch Angehörige der eingesessenen romanischen Bevölkerung beigesetzt wurden.

Grab 32
Ost-west orientiertes Frauengrab mit romanischer Trachtausstattung (Kreuzfibel). Tongefäß im Fußbereich, die anderen Beigaben im Brustbereich.
1. Gleicharmige Kreuzfibel aus Silber mit der Inschrift RUSTICA + VIVAT (Rustica möge leben).
2. Karaffenartiges Gefäß.

  • Exponate in der Ausstellung „Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung“ vom 22.08.2008-11.01.2009 im Rheinischen LandesMuseum Bonn. Leihgaben vom Museo nazionale dell'Alto Medioevo, Rom.
