44 Germanic Warrior
During the Roman Imperial period, urn burials were the typical burial method among Germanic tribes. As a rule, cremated grave goods were also deposited in the urn. As a special feature, in this case, the warrior's weaponry, a wooden shield - recognisable by the shield boss -, sword and lance, were buried under the urn. The wooden shaft of the lance, which has not been preserved, originally protruded from the earth and thus made the grave recognisable. The handle of the sword was bent wantonly, rendering the weapon useless in this way.

Age: um 50 n. Chr. Roman Imperial Period
Roman Imperial Period: With the beginning of iron smelting around 700 BC, the new, harder iron took the place of bronze. The Iron Age is the third major period in human history after the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. In northern Europe it is divided into the Pre-Roman Iron Age, which covers the period from the end of the Bronze Age to the expansion of the Roman Empire at the turn of the century. And the Roman Imperial Period, in which the completely new way of life introduced by the Romans, can also be clearly seen in Free Germania. With the introduction of writing, European prehistory ends - early history begins.
