Grabbauten des 2. und 3. Jahrhunderts in den gallischen und germanischen Provinze: Akten des Internationalen Kolloquiums Koln 22. bis 23. Februar 2007 (Zakmira)

by Dietrich Boschung (Editor)

This volume is based on an international colloquium held by the Institute of Archaeology of the University Cologne and the Centre for Mediterranean Cultures. Its aim was not only the review but also the completion of the research results of the exploration in Duppach-Weiermuhle by putting the results in a larger context. On the one hand, some articles represent the research results of the grave monuments A and B at Duppach-Weiermuhle. On the other hand, various contributions compare these monuments to other grave monuments in the Treverer Land, neighbouring regions and the North West Provinces dated to the 2nd and 3rd century in order to clarify their regional and supraregional signifcation. Lastly, some contributions examine the connection between grave monuments and villae. German text.
