47 Roman Wine Buckets
Through intensive contacts with the Roman neighbours, people in Germania had also come to know and appreciate the pleasure of wine. Roman drinking customs were also adopted along with the wine. Those who could afford it entertained their guests with Roman wine buckets, ladles, sieves and drinking vessels. After the death of the noble owners, the valuable exotic vessels were sometimes even misused as urns, as here in the almost 2,000-year-old grave at Putensen.

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.
