The Celtic fighter



3000 year pictures from the whale huntings




When it B.C. the historian with Celtic ancestry, Pompeius Trogus wrote his ancestors' story, the ethnic group's Dunántúl settlement in 1. century it i.e. the 4. dated it to a hundred. According to the legend Bellovesust and Segovesust put it on its way in order for new areas to be conquered for the Celtic ones since Ambigatus, the king of the biturixok are unokaöccseit. The overpopulation was the reason of the emigration certainly on all of them, the Celtic immigration but some cemeteries (Sopron-Krautacker and Pilismarót pasha fight) according to his evidence already much early, it B.C the 5. occurred in a hundred.

The prophecy played a considerable role in the faith world of the Celtic ones, for example the augury. It was decided in this manner that they should march in onto the area of Pannonia. The immigration was going on smoothly on the northern part of Pannonia, on the noon part, the Dráva-on Száva közén living person pannonok, Illyrian they were more martial on the other hand. Four Celtic graves turned up with the occasion of our current excavation, from which two north noons, two though east West orientation. All four were burial with skeletons, so their dead persons were not cremated. - Zandler Krisztián, an excavation leader related it for the past age archaeologist.


join the discussion about it: Celtic fighter

Paks area the eraviscus fell under a tribe's authority, the archaeologists found the fighter of this tribe presumably one of the north noons orientation in a grave, which offered the special novelty differing from the previous Celtic explorations,: Two iron edge tree shields were placed on the dead person, and this quite rare. He is a shield and an offensive weapon in the graves generally. The man buried on his back, in a provided posture saw his feet afar with a longish, oval, iron lawsuit of mine fa pajzsot fektettek, továbbá egy másik azonos alakú, de eltérő umboval* ellátott pajzsot a felsőtest jobb oldalára helyeztek, ferdén nekitámasztva a sírgödör falának."

Smaller iron objects were found in his 2300 year Celtic graves, they may be the fractions of an iron knife presumably. The iron plate belonging to the lower shield according to the archaeologist lay on the ankle of the fierce left. A costume object, a belt mounting, jewels did not turn up temporarily.


Let the exploration look at his pictures in our gallery.

As soon as Zandler Krisztián is an archaeologist related it, the exploration two, a man are typical of the Celtic burial anyway greatness it is continued with the removal of the iron framework of a shield. It may lighten up in this manner, with what kind of weapons the fighter was buried. The land may hide a sword or a lance on his fierce right according to the archaeologists. Hit home in the grave beyond the riddle of two shields temporarily yet the fighter's death dimness fedi. An anthropologist examines the osseous remains in order for him to define it on how many year one died, you are an illness, ageing possibly the death of some kind of injury caused by, fell over a fight, the trace of injury stayed possibly on the bones. Similar I am crying with a shield the hetényi and they turned up in the Ménfőcsanak Celtic cemetery, based on these this grave it i.e. onto the front of 3. century date - Zandler Krisztián signaled it.

The north noon beside the fighter orientation is crying strongly disturbed was, here some skull fractions, and hosszúcsont, an iron ring turned up furthermore. The two easts - from among a grave with western orientation one of the Celtic girls with a childhood hid his residues, who to the Celtic burial customs true bronze they set off with a bracelet onto the unearthly road. According to the archaeologist not excluded, that a Celtic family or a narrower community found his members the more thousand in year graves, concerned, that because of the locality to the west a bigger Celtic cemetery may exist.

Obviously, one shield was for formal wear, the other for casual occasions. And that guy had great teeth. I wish my teeth were that good.

[Treveri Gaul]

"If a mine wanted to be dug near the wall, then under shield cover (celwnh dioruciV) soldiers ruined the wall or a tower and it was propped up with beams and after they were ready, the beams felgyujtották, in that manner that the wall or a tower were leaning as a result of this. Veg. 4,24."

The traces of a Roman fork were not revealed far because of the finding place / Eraviscus burial/ which bulwark he was surrounded with.I think She died under siege.

Hello

I would like to prepare a Celtic shield then later full armament. I know the sizes it I do not know it that any were his curvatures into a direction on the shield.

A few words of caution,what appears in any grave in the form of grave goods may be telling you more about the living at the time of the burial than the dead.

The person in the grave may never have used or owned these goods in real life and but the living who were around could have given them to the dead to take them with them to the other/next world in order to fulfill an intended or imagined role in this afterlife/otherworld. Or they could equally be protective talismans to ward off spirits on the journey to the land of the dead.

Child graves from this period and other periods have included weapons which they could have not used in real life because they are too big and that would suggest the practice outlined above did at times go on.

They are nice finds and no doubt be speculated upon for years to come and looking forward to the details being fully published of the complete site.

There was not something else in the grave than the two shields. A sword or a lance were not found. Near the grave the residues of a Roman fork. That probable , that Eravisci died in a battle the fighter and the Roman ones buried it. If this is in this manner the Celtic ones did not occupy the farm then.

The anthropologists examine the skeleton now.

Absolutely right Count Theo!

I'd recommend reading Henirich Härke's "Warrior graves? The background of the Anglo-Saxon weapon burial rite" for an analysis of the problems associated with making assumptions about the living based on grave depositions.
