(ORDO NEWS) — As a result of excavations on Mount Scopus in Italy, archaeologists have discovered a lead coffin in which a Roman girl was adorned with rich jewelry, which is about 1800 years old.
She was buried with other people, apparently in one of the early Christian cemeteries.
Scientists note that the girl’s jewelry is of very good quality and is typical for wealthy Romans of the Imperial era.
The decorations were made in a technique that was very popular in the Roman Empire in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD.
Among them were many gold ornaments such as rings, earrings and bracelets, as well as beads and other jewelry. Some of the jewelry is decorated with enamel and glass.
According to experts, the coffin was most likely closed in the 3rd century AD, during a period when the Roman Empire was undergoing strong social and economic changes.
The researchers believe that the find can provide new data for studying the history of the Roman Empire at this time, as well as help to understand the customs and culture of the inhabitants of ancient Rome.
The researchers note that the find is very important for their work and can help to learn more about Roman culture and life of that time.
In addition, this is another example of how archaeological finds help to expand our historical and cultural picture of ancient civilizations.
