Germanic belt, 3rd century AD

[Martin Moser]

For those of us who cannot have access to the original publications you quote, could you, please, upload a handful of pics of the original remains?

Were only Germanic items recovered from the tomb or were also some Roman ones? :?

It is a mix of Roman imports and Germanic items. Interestingly the silver shield boss was worked from a decorated Roman silver drinking cup, on the inside the original decorative work is still partially visible.

Here is a pic of the belt, it was rolled up when found (the drawing is a bit misleading, the belt consists of 3 layers actually):
