Kalkriese object - Caballo - 12-16-2006
Hi
Saw this object found at Kalkriese http://www.geschichte.uni-osnabrueck.de ... 2/12f.html
![[Image: Schaede3.jpg]](http://www.geschichte.uni-osnabrueck.de/projekt/12/images/Schaede3.jpg)
It is described as a "Schaedelkalotte" (beyond my German vocab...). It looks to me a bit like a shoulder guard, but not to a design I recognise- any ideas?
Cheers
Caballo

Ave Caballo,
that's a kind of 'natural' headgear. no part of the kit, but of the wearer himself
hock: The text line is about bones and human remains. Schädelkalotte means dome of the skull (Schädel = skull, Kalotte = calotte or flat dome).
But no hint, whether it was a Roman or barbarian.

I would have been even faster if I hadn't spent some time trying to recall my rusty German :lol:

Ave Aitor,
dont think too deep.
Some blown away skull domes may indicate an overloaded brain.
Last though of the Cheruscian owner of the find:
'What the heck is 'Romans surrender, we've got you!' called in Latin?' :lol:

Thanks all! I'll have to brush up on my anatomy!
