RE: Who Was the Mysterious Lady of Vix?

in #history6 years ago (edited)

The Lady of Vix was buried with a chariot (cart) and a large amount of jewelry, including a 24-karat gold torc of 480 grams, a bronze torc, six fibulae, six slate bracelets, a bracelet of amber, and Etruscan rings. Nearby was a necklace of amber that probably belonged to her also.

To be buried with such wealth is obscene. But they must really have been so wealthy. The lady of Vix, maybe was a queen and I heard that people were buried like that with the hope that they would need those valuables in their after life.
The krater is so massive and it's a wonder that they dug it up in one piece. A very interesting piece. Thank you for sharing and A very Happy and Prosperous New Year to you
