Summary
| Description |
English: Cross from the so-called Grave of Duke Gisulf, cemetery of Cella - San Giovanni
The deceased lay in a wooden coffin which in turn lay within a stone sarcophagus. The inscription CISVL is engraved on one of the top surfaces of the sarcophagus cover. Following the discovery of the burial, a dispute arose about the authenticity of the inscription. Today we are generally inclined to regard it as a forgery of the 19th century, intended to bolster the attribution of the burial to Gisulf, the first Lombard duke of Friuli. Regardless, the grave goods of this burial are among the most splendid to have been found in Cividale. Recent anthropological investigations of the preserved bone fragments have enabled an attribution to an adult male of considerable stature without any indications of an advanced age.
Deutsch: Kreuz aus dem sogenannten Grab des Herzogs Gisulf, Gräberfeld von Cella - San Giovanni
Der Verstorbene lag in einem Holzsarg, der wiederum in einem Steinsarkophag ruhte. Auf einer der Dachflächen des Sarkophagdeckels ist die Inschrift CISVL eingraviert. Nach Entdeckung der Bestattung kam es zum Streit über die Authentizität der Inschrift. Heute ist man geneigt, sie als Fälschung aus dem 19. Jahrhundert anzusehen, mit deren Hilfe die Zuordnung der Bestattung zu Gisulf, dem ersten langobardischen Herzog des Friaul untermauert werden sollte. Unabhängig davon gehören die Beigaben dieser Bestattung zu den prächtigsten, die in Cividale gefunden wurden. Kürzlich vorgenommene anthropologische Untersuchungen der erhaltenen Knochenreste ermöglichten die Zuordnung zu einer erwachsenen Person männlichen Geschlechts von beträchtlicher Statur ohne Anzeichen für ein fortgeschrittenes Alter.
