The stone fragments were discovered 30 years ago in the summer of 1990 during archaeological excavations in the basement of the synagogue, which was demolished in the winter of 1938/39, and later brought to the Archaeological Museum's finds storage.
After three decades, they have been examined in detail during the past months in the restoration workshop for stone monuments of the Archaeological Museum. The results of this research are now being presented to the public for the first time, with a special focus on the immediate traces of violent destruction.

Therefore it is basically problematic to conclude from the equipment of the graves directly on certain armament types or even on a specific mode of combat. Arrows and bows, which could also be used for hunting, must always be taken for granted as a long-range weapon, even if they are not part of the equipment of the grave. A warrior who only had hand-to-hand fight weapons would not be able to start the fight if his opponent had a long-range weapon. From the developed Early Bronze Age (Bz A2a) to the outgoing Middle Bronze Age (Bz C2) the importance of an efficient cutting weapon is recognizable in the bronze axes. The axe is often accompanied by a dagger of lesser length, which as a multifunctional tool was also to be used as close-combat weapon in mêlée. A simultaneous use of dagger and axe was generally possible. Towards the end of the late Early Bronze Age (Bz A2c/early Bz B), the axe appears for the first time in combination with considerably longer daggers or swords resp. short swords, which are an effective thrust weapon. This allowed a simultaneous efficient use of slashing weapon and thrusting weapon. In the course of further development, the sword was optimized as a thrust weapon, by increasing the range by extending the blade. From the late Middle Bronze Age (Bz C2-D) started the development of the slashing sword which could be used in combination with the lance which exceeded the range of each sword. The combination of lance and axe indicates that in some cases the lance with its extended range as a “prolonged thrust weapon” had replaced the sword. This would be a stage of the development towards the Late Bronze Age military equipment. In this, the axe was replaced as a slashing weapon by swords, whose blades were suited to beating and stabbing, while the lance with its longer range took the place of the pure thrust sword. The lance could also fulfill the function of a (compared to the light arrow and bow) heavy long-range weapon in short distance while the sword suitable for both the slash and the thrust was more versatile than the pure thrust sword and also exceed the range of the axes.

– After more than forty years from the International Symposium on the ancient Bronze Age in Europe (Verona – Lazise – Trento, 1-6 May 1972) decisive for the research on the Central European Bronze Age, many new
important discoveries and new models of archaeological sources analysis help to clarify better chronology and cultural development in the different regions on both sides of the Alps. Based on the geographic distribution of specific types of bronze objects - pins, axes, spearheads, daggers and swords - as well as some features of the ornamental style of ceramics and of various bone objects with “carpathian wavy bands decoration and of the Eastern Mediterranean”, but especially through the so called enigmatic tablets - all elements that connect the three regions of the upper and middle Danube and Northern Italy - it is possible, thanks to the enrichment of the data available in quantity and quality, to evaluate better interregional relations.

Weapons and especially the combination of different types of weapons in graves usually serve as a starting point for considerations regarding armament and fighting style. On the basis of regional or temporal differences of the weapons present in the graves and their combination, changes in the way of fighting are deduced. In addition, quantitative differences in the equipment of graves with weapons are often used by others to try to prove differentiated gradations in the social rank of the buried. Apart from the fact that at least some of the weapons can be ceremonial or ceremonial weapons or-especially arrowheads or spears-hunting or competition weapons and not the weapons actually or primarily used in battle, it is problematic to draw direct conclusions from the graves' inventory about the existence of weapons in this world.

They emerged at the end of the third millenium BC due to continuing settling on the same spot and can be found at the brinks of the rivers Danube and Tisza and also in the northeast and east of the Carpathian Basin, in the regions of the Nagyrév, Hatvan, Ottomány and Perjámos/Mures¸ cultures. As a rule, they were still occupied in the time of the successive Vatya, Füzesabony and Gyulavarsánd-Otomani cultural groups. During this time (Reinecke A2 – Reinecke B), fortified settlements resp. settlements on hill-tops or at naturally protected sites were established also in the northwest and the north: in Lower and Upper Austria, south Germany, Bohemia and Moravia, Poland and the Saxon-Thuringian provinces as well as at the shores of lakes in southwest Germany and on the Swiss Plateau. But the occupation of these settlements did not survive the phase Reinecke B resp. the middle of the second millenium BC, neither within nor without the Carpathian Basin. The abandonment of early Bronze Age settlements around this time seems to be an overall phenomenon.

This type of ornamentation was recurrently considered a reflection of Mediterranean impulses.

and their Danube-Carpathian parallels. ---
In 1989 treasure-hunters dug out in Northern Bavaria treasure from the time of the Urnfield culture. Similar finds were bought later from the Archaeological museum of Munich. The golden falerae and the rest of the adornments have analogues in the area of Middle Danube. They confirm the fact that eastern parts of Southern Germany had contacts with the Danubian cultural systems.
In 1998 near Bernstorf, close to Munich, another exceptional gold find was found. It includes a diadem, various pendants, a pin with disc-head and pieces of amber. At the same hilltop enclosure in 2000 were found much cited amber objects with „Mycenean“ signs on them. It is presumed that there are adornments, ttached to the cult figure.
Similar complexes were found in the earlier periods of the bronze age too. From the Shaft-graves at Mycenae we know
of similar diadems with rosettes and knobs and similar pendants. They are reminiscent of Bernstorf adornments, without having a direct connection with them. Gold adornments of idols are known from the Varna culture, from the end of the 5 mill. BC, and from Middle Europe from 4 mill. BC.

Si dovrebbe piuttosto prospettare l'esistenza, nel corso del periodo delle tombe a fossa, di un sistema complesso di reciproca comunicazione culturale tra i territori delle steppe eurasiatiche e dell'Europa orientale, dell'Anatolia, dell'Egeo e dell'area danubiana. Nell'ambito di questa vasta rete di relazioni, le comunità dell'area danubiano-carpatica avrebbero svolto un ruolo non solo passivo, ma anche attivo, in veste di culture periferiche delle civiltà più evolute dell'Egeo e dell'Asia anteriore e, al contempo, di periferia occidentale dell'ambiente culturale delle steppe eurasiatiche, influendo così sullo sviluppo dell'Europa centrale, della Scandinavia meridionale e del Nord Italia. Parte degli studiosi ha infatti ripetutamente sottolineato come la decorazione spiraliforme, sviluppata in molteplici varianti stilistiche durante l'antica età del Bronzo nell'area danubiano-carpatica, rispecchi stimoli provenienti da aree mediterranee. Tra le decorazioni poste in relazione con possibili influssi mediterranei, pontici o europei orientali, la più diffusa è quella detta "a bande ondulate carpatica e mediterranea orientale", documentata durante il secondo quarto del II millennio a.C. nell'area danubianocarpatica, nel Peloponneso, in Anatolia e nella piana di Amuq. Ritrovamenti sporadici sono noti nelle steppe a nord e nord-est del mar Nero, in Baviera meridionale, Germania centrale, Italia settentrionale, Danimarca e forse perfino nella Francia sud-occidentale. Nella maggior parte dei casi si tratta di motivi intagliati su oggetti in osso o corno (pissidi, immanicature e finimenti). Nel bacino dei Carpazi i supporti per tali decorazioni sono inoltre rappresentati da una coppa e da bracciali d'oro, mentre nell'area di Micene da numerose applicazioni in lamina d'oro, da un disco in pasta vitrea e infine da resti di stele in pietra (David 1997(David , 2001(David e 2007.

For a long time, the question has been controversely reviewed whether the flourishing of Early Br... more For a long time, the question has been controversely reviewed whether the flourishing of Early Bronze Age civilizations of the Danubian-Carpathian region (cultures of Wietenberg, Otomani, Vatin, Vatya, Mad'arovce etc.) goes back to culture-forming effects or foreign influences promoting a civilisatory change from the background of the great civilizations of the Aegean-Anatolian region or East Europe or whether the civilisatory level during the Early Bronze Age in the Carpathian region merely created especially favourable conditions for the ability for and the will to a cultural altercation and reception of foreign influences. Special attention in this respect fell to the richly developing spiral decoration which is displayed in various style variants and which is newfashioned in its complexity and stylistic perception during the Early Bronze Age in the Danubian-Carpathian region; repeatedly this type of ornamentation was considered a reflection of Mediterranean impulses. The most wide-spread of the different ornament styles is the so called "Carpathian-East Mediterranean Wavy band decoration" (karpatenländisch-ostmediterrane Wellenbandornamentik"). It is not only an identical decoration, unmistakable both in motive and composition, which occurs in the Danubian-Carpathian region, on the Peloponnesus, in Anatolia and in the Plain of Amuq; the bearers of this typical ornamentation -cheek-pieces of horse-harness, discs and pyxid-or handle-shaped cylindrical objects -as well allow immediate links concerning their shape between the regions mentioned above. A restriction of those patterns to objects coming from the field of horse-riding and chariot-or wagon-driving, as it is often postulated, is, however, out of the question. Even if most bone finds from the Danubian-Carpathian region are not to be seen as imports from the South, an indigenous origin of this ornamentation can on no account be assumed in the Middle Danube region. On the contrary, ornamental and morphological characteristics between some Danubian objects and Mycenaean or Anatolian examples are closely related, which would not be imaginable without the existance of direct contacts between these regions. Only after further comparing analyses, the clarification of chronological questions and last not least after an expected increase of related finds, the manner of the cultural connections leading to the appearance of the mentioned "Wellenbandornamentik" on similar bone objects (handles, cylindrical objects, sceptres, discs and cheek-pieces) between the Plain of Amuq and the Peloponnesus as well as between South Moravia respectively East Austria and the Donez region during the second quarter of the second millenium before Christ will be reliably determined. In this respect, contacts between the Carpathian Basin and Anatolia as well as more or less direct contacts to the early Mycenean civilization or immediate contacts across the Black Sea region are imaginable. A unilateral dependance of cultural development in Central and East Europe on the great civilizations in the Aegean and the Near East is out of the question; development of civilizations in the Middle Danube region is in no way to be seen only as a reaction to influences from the Southeast. Newly discovered finds of gold and amber from Bernstorf and a Mycenaean fayence pearl from Pörndorf indicate also contacts of south Bavaria to the Aegean-Mediterranean world. It is, for now, of no consequence whether these contacts were direct or whether they were brought about across the Carpathian Basin respectively the Upper Adria region.

This type of ornamentation was recurrently considered a reflection of Mediterranean impulses.

and their Danube-Carpathian parallels. ---
In 1989 treasure-hunters dug out in Northern Bavaria treasure from the time of the Urnfield culture. Similar finds were bought later from the Archaeological museum of Munich. The golden falerae and the rest of the adornments have analogues in the area of Middle Danube. They confirm the fact that eastern parts of Southern Germany had contacts with the Danubian cultural systems.
In 1998 near Bernstorf, close to Munich, another exceptional gold find was found. It includes a diadem, various pendants, a pin with disc-head and pieces of amber. At the same hilltop enclosure in 2000 were found much cited amber objects with „Mycenean“ signs on them. It is presumed that there are adornments, ttached to the cult figure.
Similar complexes were found in the earlier periods of the bronze age too. From the Shaft-graves at Mycenae we know
of similar diadems with rosettes and knobs and similar pendants. They are reminiscent of Bernstorf adornments, without having a direct connection with them. Gold adornments of idols are known from the Varna culture, from the end of the 5 mill. BC, and from Middle Europe from 4 mill. BC.

Si dovrebbe piuttosto prospettare l'esistenza, nel corso del periodo delle tombe a fossa, di un sistema complesso di reciproca comunicazione culturale tra i territori delle steppe eurasiatiche e dell'Europa orientale, dell'Anatolia, dell'Egeo e dell'area danubiana. Nell'ambito di questa vasta rete di relazioni, le comunità dell'area danubiano-carpatica avrebbero svolto un ruolo non solo passivo, ma anche attivo, in veste di culture periferiche delle civiltà più evolute dell'Egeo e dell'Asia anteriore e, al contempo, di periferia occidentale dell'ambiente culturale delle steppe eurasiatiche, influendo così sullo sviluppo dell'Europa centrale, della Scandinavia meridionale e del Nord Italia. Parte degli studiosi ha infatti ripetutamente sottolineato come la decorazione spiraliforme, sviluppata in molteplici varianti stilistiche durante l'antica età del Bronzo nell'area danubiano-carpatica, rispecchi stimoli provenienti da aree mediterranee. Tra le decorazioni poste in relazione con possibili influssi mediterranei, pontici o europei orientali, la più diffusa è quella detta "a bande ondulate carpatica e mediterranea orientale", documentata durante il secondo quarto del II millennio a.C. nell'area danubianocarpatica, nel Peloponneso, in Anatolia e nella piana di Amuq. Ritrovamenti sporadici sono noti nelle steppe a nord e nord-est del mar Nero, in Baviera meridionale, Germania centrale, Italia settentrionale, Danimarca e forse perfino nella Francia sud-occidentale. Nella maggior parte dei casi si tratta di motivi intagliati su oggetti in osso o corno (pissidi, immanicature e finimenti). Nel bacino dei Carpazi i supporti per tali decorazioni sono inoltre rappresentati da una coppa e da bracciali d'oro, mentre nell'area di Micene da numerose applicazioni in lamina d'oro, da un disco in pasta vitrea e infine da resti di stele in pietra (David 1997(David , 2001(David e 2007.

For a long time, the question has been controversely reviewed whether the flourishing of Early Br... more For a long time, the question has been controversely reviewed whether the flourishing of Early Bronze Age civilizations of the Danubian-Carpathian region (cultures of Wietenberg, Otomani, Vatin, Vatya, Mad'arovce etc.) goes back to culture-forming effects or foreign influences promoting a civilisatory change from the background of the great civilizations of the Aegean-Anatolian region or East Europe or whether the civilisatory level during the Early Bronze Age in the Carpathian region merely created especially favourable conditions for the ability for and the will to a cultural altercation and reception of foreign influences. Special attention in this respect fell to the richly developing spiral decoration which is displayed in various style variants and which is newfashioned in its complexity and stylistic perception during the Early Bronze Age in the Danubian-Carpathian region; repeatedly this type of ornamentation was considered a reflection of Mediterranean impulses. The most wide-spread of the different ornament styles is the so called "Carpathian-East Mediterranean Wavy band decoration" (karpatenländisch-ostmediterrane Wellenbandornamentik"). It is not only an identical decoration, unmistakable both in motive and composition, which occurs in the Danubian-Carpathian region, on the Peloponnesus, in Anatolia and in the Plain of Amuq; the bearers of this typical ornamentation -cheek-pieces of horse-harness, discs and pyxid-or handle-shaped cylindrical objects -as well allow immediate links concerning their shape between the regions mentioned above. A restriction of those patterns to objects coming from the field of horse-riding and chariot-or wagon-driving, as it is often postulated, is, however, out of the question. Even if most bone finds from the Danubian-Carpathian region are not to be seen as imports from the South, an indigenous origin of this ornamentation can on no account be assumed in the Middle Danube region. On the contrary, ornamental and morphological characteristics between some Danubian objects and Mycenaean or Anatolian examples are closely related, which would not be imaginable without the existance of direct contacts between these regions. Only after further comparing analyses, the clarification of chronological questions and last not least after an expected increase of related finds, the manner of the cultural connections leading to the appearance of the mentioned "Wellenbandornamentik" on similar bone objects (handles, cylindrical objects, sceptres, discs and cheek-pieces) between the Plain of Amuq and the Peloponnesus as well as between South Moravia respectively East Austria and the Donez region during the second quarter of the second millenium before Christ will be reliably determined. In this respect, contacts between the Carpathian Basin and Anatolia as well as more or less direct contacts to the early Mycenean civilization or immediate contacts across the Black Sea region are imaginable. A unilateral dependance of cultural development in Central and East Europe on the great civilizations in the Aegean and the Near East is out of the question; development of civilizations in the Middle Danube region is in no way to be seen only as a reaction to influences from the Southeast. Newly discovered finds of gold and amber from Bernstorf and a Mycenaean fayence pearl from Pörndorf indicate also contacts of south Bavaria to the Aegean-Mediterranean world. It is, for now, of no consequence whether these contacts were direct or whether they were brought about across the Carpathian Basin respectively the Upper Adria region.

Antike Welt, Jan 2023

Dieses immer noch sehr lebendige Bild, das direkt aus den Arbeiten der letzten Jahrhunderte stammt, wird durch zahlreiche archäologische Entdeckungen, die ein immer besseres Verständnis der antiken religiösen Welt ermöglichen, allmählich dekonstruiert. Mithras und sein Kult erscheinen heute in einem neuen Licht, und das ist es, was die Ausstellung «Mithras-Annäherungen an einen römischen Kult» einem breiten Publikum vermitteln möchte. Diese Ausgabe der ANTIKEN WELT ist eines der Ergebnisse dieses bedeutenden, vom Programm Creative Europe geförderten wissenschaftlichen und kulturellen Projekts, um das sich drei re nommierte Museumsinstitutionen-das Musée royal de Mariemont (Belgien), das Musée Saint Raymond in Toulouse (Frankreich) und das Archäologische Museum Frankfurt-zusammengeschlossen haben, die die Ausstellung zwischen November 2021 und April 2023 nacheinander mit ihrem jeweils eigenen Ansatz beherbergt haben bzw. zur Zeit zeigen. Unser Titelthema entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit den Kuratoren der drei Teilausstellungen. Wenn Sie auch zwischen den einzelnen Ausgaben der ANTIKEN WELT immer auf dem Laufenden zu Funden und Forschungsergebnissen der Archäologie und der anderen Altertumswissenschaften bleiben wollen, empfehle ich Ihnen, regelmäßig auf die Webseite der AW zu schauen. Dort finden Sie immer aktuelle Nachrichten aus aller Welt. Und auch unsere «Schwesterzeitschrift» Archäologie in Deutschland veröffentlicht täglich Neuigkeiten aus der Archäologie (www.aidmagazin.de). Alles Gute für das neue Jahr und viel Spaß bei der Lektüre wünscht Ihnen Ihre AWRedaktion TITELTHEMA WAS GIBT ES NEUES ZU MITHRAS?-AKTUELLE FORSCHUNGEN ZU EINEM GEHEIMNISVOLLEN KULT Über drei Jahrhunderte lang wurde der Gott Mithras im Imperium Romanum verehrt. In den letzten Jahren konnten neue Erkenntnisse über seinen Kult gewonnen werden. DER STIERTÖTENDE SONNENGOTT IM NORDEN DES IMPERIUMS-MITHRAS IN OBERGERMANIEN Die Zahl der aus Obergermanien bekannten Heiligtümer, Bildwerke, Inschriften und Requisiten des Mithras-Kultes übertrifft deutlich diejenige der benachbarten Provinzen. MITHRAS EN MINIATURE-MÜNZEN UND GEMMEN ALS QUELLE FÜR DEN KULT Als sacra privata erscheinen Bilder des Mithras vor allem auf privaten Besitztümern der Anhänger. Ein prominentes Beispiel dafür sind Gemmen. DAS RELIEF BORGHESE-VOM KAPITOL ZUM LOUVRE-LENS Heute in der Dauerausstellung des Louvre-Lens zu sehen, wurde das monumentale Relief bereits im 15. Jh. entdeckt und diente seitdem als Inspirationsquelle für zahlreiche Künstler. IN NEUER GESELLSCHAFT-BILDER DES STIERTÖTENDEN MITHRAS IM MITTELALTER Obwohl ab dem Ende des 4. Jhs. n. Chr. die Ausübung heidnischer Kulte verboten wurde, finden sich noch im Mittelalter Darstellungen des stiertötenden Gottes.

The Archäologisches Museum Frankfurt was split off from the Historisches Museum Frankfurt in 1937. Since 1989, the museum has been housed in the old, Gothic monastery of the Carmelites, to the west of the historic city centre. The Church of Saint Mary attached to the monastery was built at the end of the 13th century and then enlarged in the 15th century in Late Gothic style. After having been deconsecrated at the beginning of the 19th century and then destroyed in 1944 during the war, it was reconstructed and given an extension in Postmodernist style by Josef Paul Kleihues (1933-2004) in order to be used as a museum. Under a single roof have thus been reunited collections devoted to Prehistory, Protohistory, and provincial Roman archaeology from the Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region, but also to classical Mediterranean antiquity, the ancient Near East and Egypt. A good part of the collections come from excavations undertaken in Frankfurt's Heddernheim and Praunheim quarters. It was at this location that from the 1st to the 3rd century was found Roman Nida, the capital of the Civitas Taunensium and administrative, economic and religious centre for the countryside of Germania Superior's limes. Since 1827, four (or even five) temples of Mithras have come to light in the Roman settlement. Their supraregional importance was revealed internationally as early as the 19th century thanks to the joint research efforts of Georg Wolff (1845-1929) and Franz Cumont (1868-1947). It is in this spirit of cross-border collaboration that the museums at Mariemont, Toulouse and Frankfurt in 2019 embarked on a collective and convivial project seeking to present to the broader public in Belgium, France and Germany the latest results of international research undertaken into the cult of Mithras.

They took place in connection with the redesign of the memorial site, which began in the late 1990s, on the site of the former camp used for
the so-called „protective custody“ of prisoners, where the camp‘s defensive trench and the foundations of a functional building were uncovered, and on the former firing range of the Dachau concentration camp near Hebertshausen. There, the site of the mass murder of over 4,000 Soviet prisoners of war in 1941 and 1942 was precisely localised. Fragments of skulls, jaws and teeth were found from the victims who were burned in crematoria after the executions. The results of the historical, archaeological and anthropological investigations, which complement each other, unanimously prove that the mass murder carried out there by SS units went far beyond the scale of „normal“ shootings in terms of the
cruelty of its execution.
Výzkumy Univerzity Ludwiga Maxmiliána v Mnichově v letech 2000 a 2001 v bývalém koncentračním táboře Dachau představují první archeologickou aktivitu německé univerzity v koncentračním táboře. Uvedené výzkumy se uskutečnily v souvislosti s úpravou pamětního místa, která byla zahájena koncem 90. let 20. století na místě bývalého „Schutzhaftlager“, kde byl odkryt táborový příkop a základy funkční budovy, a na bývalé střelnici koncentračního tábora Dachau u Hebertshausenu. Zde bylo přesně lokalizováno místo masové vraždy více než 4 000 sovětských válečných zajatců z let 1941 a 1942. Byly nalezeny úlomky lebek, čelistí a zubů obětí, které byly po popravách spáleny v krematoriích. Výsledky historických, archeologických a antropologických výzkumů, které se vzájemně doplňují, shodně dokazují, že masové vraždy, které zde prováděly jednotky SS, svou krutostí daleko přesahovaly rozsah „běžných“ poprav.

However, the loneliness of the location meant that the large necropolis of Vulci had been particularly exposed to looting by robbers and treasure diggers since the 18th century, but especially in the first half of the 19th century. This a threat to the cultural heritage that even today, despite the successful work of the Archaeological and Natural Park of Vulci, the State Inspectorate and the National Museum in the Castello dell'Abbadia, is still not completely eliminated. Finds of the highest quality, including thousands of Attic vases, have been scattered all over the world since the 19th century and have found their way into important museums in Europe.
