Summary

Description
English: Scheletri (ricostruzione) di un cavallo senza testa e di due cani, rinvenuti a Povegliano Veronese (Verona) in una fossa dell'ultimo trentennio del VI sec. d. C. Si tratta di animali sacrificati in occasione del seppellimento del loro padrone, secondo un'usanza già documentata in Moravia, bassa Austria e Ungheria, forse accomunata al culto di antiche divinità germaniche. Gli animali avevano lo scopo di accompagnare il defunto nel viaggio ultraterreno. In questo caso non sono sepolti insieme al padrone ma in una fossa accanto. Al Museo Archeologico di Napoli fino al 25 marzo 2018 alla mostra "Longobardi. Un popolo che cambia la storia"
