Thracian Cataphractarius burial found


Recommended Posts

The full report on Alpha Galileo discusses several burials which have been found but mainly points to continuance of traditional Thracian burial practices during the period of Roman occupation exemplified with the mixture of Roman produced material amongst the grave goods of someone who may have served with the Roman's. There are good photographs attached to the full report showing the remains of the chariot and other goods in the main burial.

 

The large number of various and luxurious grave goods and personal belongings found in the graves, most of them being imports; show that the buried people had been representatives of the Thracian nobility. Most probably they had been members of a wealthy aristocratic family living in one of the villas situated near the present-day village of Borissovo during the second half of the 1st
