Kemathen warrior

His skeleton and the grave finds, together with a faithful replica of the tomb, are in the Roman and Bavarian Museum in Kipfenberg.

The warrior grave was discovered on September 28, 1990 on the occasion of a land consolidation measure in the corridor of Kemathen, a district of the Kipfenberg market.

In contrast to the usual cremation, the man received an elaborate burial in a richly furnished individual grave.

[2] The man's clothing and grave goods are culturally inconsistent and point to both Germanic and Roman customs.

[7] The dead man wore a 10 cm wide, magnificent Roman military belt with bronze fittings,[8][9] which was made in northeastern Gaul and subsequently repaired and supplemented in Raetia near the burial site.

A 18.5 cm high Roman pointed beaker with a thread layer made of greenish-yellow glass.

[17][18] The Kemethan warrior served in the late Roman army, returned to the border region north of the Danube and was buried there around 100 years before the Baiuwaren were even mentioned.
