Monendus mihi magis es Lector, mecum ut mireris, post tot secula, in oppido pluribus mutationibus obnoxio, quo
tot aedium parietumque fundamenta jacta, tot putei, cellae, cisternae, cloacae efossae, quicquam adhuc terrae

More you must be exhorted by me to wonder with me, Reader, that ater so many centuries, in a city
subject to a good many changes, in which so many foundations of houses and walls have been laid,
so many wells, cellars, cisterns and sewers have been dug, something ancient is still held in the
womb of the earth that has not come to light earlier.

Foreword
In 1990, professor H. Brunsting, by then an octogenarian, asked me to help him publish his excavation results. We published several articles
(Brunsting/Steures 1995, 1997 and two others).
Then one great subject remained: the late Roman
cemetery of the inner city of Nijmegen, called cemetery B in the present study, large parts of which
he had excavated from 1947 until 1963. In that
time, the centre of Nijmegen was being rebuilt
ater the bombardment of 22 February 1944 by
allied airplanes. We leafed together through every
notebook, excercise-book, portfolio and envelopes full of loose slips of paper. The core of that
immense documentation was a series of eleven
brown excercise-books of the State Service for
Archaeological Research (ROB), in which Brunsting had described all graves with inds and had
added small photographs of every object; and
three portfolios with photocopies of ink drawings
of the potery and all other artefacts, made by Mr
H. van Teeseling. Brunsting explained everything
that was not immediately clear to me. I began
writing the ind catalogue. As I was doing so, Mr
Simon Wynia, who had been Brunsting’s assistant
at the Free University (VU) of Amsterdam, was of
great help by supplying his hand-writen documentation of all graves in ten portfolios, the original notebooks of the ield technicians who had
had the daily supervision of the excavations, the
original object drawings, and many other documents. In February 1997, a few months before he
suddenly died at the age of 95, I took Brunsting to
Nijmegen, where I was to give a lecture at the
Symposium of Roman Potery at the University of
Nijmegen. We took the opportunity of walking
through the centre, where he pointed out all sites
where he had been excavating. The central announcement of my lecture was: work on the cemetery of the inner city of Nijmegen has been resumed. That same day, Mr H. van Enckevort, then
specialist at the ROB for the Roman period, told
me that Mr P.A.M. Zoetbrood had discontinued
work on the other late Roman cemetery of Nijmegen, called cemetery OO in the present study. The
ROB already had reserved money for someone to
take over. I was the lucky one. The money was
enough for hundred working-days, and so I became an ROB employee for one day per week
during two years. Ater that period, the Bureau for
Archaeology of the municipality of Nijmegen,
where Mr Van Enckevort was now a municipal archaeologist, supplied money for another year of
happy Thursdays. Ater that year, I was aged
enough to be entitled to one free aternoon per
week, and the maker of the time-table at the
school where I am a teacher of Latin and Greek
was so friendly as to supply a free morning on the
same day. A few years later, I was entitled to a
complete day of. Work has been steadily going
on since then for many years on Thursdays and in
long school holidays: renumbering graves, writing
the typology, making many lists, translating into
English, keeping up with the literature, pasting
together the illustrations, asking specialists to
write chapters, writing lectures and articles, and
interpreting.
Many people have helped me. I mention them in
alphabetical order, without titles apart from professor, and with the institute where they worked or
place where they lived when I was in contact with

at the Nijmegen Museum Het Valkhof, who were always helpful and stimultating; to Rob Reijnen,
who revised and updated the coin identiications;
to Harry van Enckevort, municipal archaeologist
of Nijmegen, who provided maps and found
many new graves in cemetery OO by close study
of the excavation records; to Carol van Driel-Murray, who corrected my English; to Trinete Constandse-Westermann, who advised me on the

Any error in this book is of course my own fault.
I dedicate this book to my wife El de Meijer, who
lovingly endured everything.

Cemeteries
In this study, the cemetery of the Inner City of
Nijmegen is indicated with B (ater Dutch binnenstad = inner city), and the cemetery of NijmegenEast with OO (ater Dutch oost = east; moreover,
these leters OO for part of this cemetery were
already used by the Nijmegen collectionneur Gerard Kam in the beginning of the twentieth century, when stray inds turned up in great numbers). Stray inds are indicated with stray
preceded by B or OO and followed by a number:
B stray 1 is the irst of the list of stray inds from
the inner city.
Subdivision of centuries
Centuries (AD unless otherwise stated) are indicated with Roman numerals. Quarter-centuries
are indicated with lower case leters a, b, c, d. So
IVa means ‘irst quarter of the fourth century, i.e.
AD 301-325’, IVb means ‘second quarter of the
fourth century, i.e. AD 326-350’, IVcd means ‘second half of the fourth century, i.e. AD 351-400’.
In this study, Renate Pirling’s typology of the cemetery of Krefeld is followed. She oten dates
‘middle IV’ and frequently dates by one-third
centuries, Dritel. For that reason, capital leters
ater Roman numerals are used in a way diferent from
the usual one: they indicate one-thirds of centuries. So IVA means ‘irst third of the fourth century, i.e. AD 301-333’; IVAB means ‘irst twothirds of the fourth century, i.e. AD 301-367’.
When Pirling dates something to the middle of
the fourth century, then it is translated here to
IVB, i.e. AD 334-367.

1 Introduction to Cemetery NijmegenInner City (Cemetery B)
H. Brunsting†
Apart from the Valkhof with immediate surroundings and the bank of the river Waal, the medieval
city of Nijmegen does not occupy the site of a Roman town. However, the Roman inds in the inner
city are among the earliest made in Nijmegen. The
protestant clergyman Johannis Smith, appointed
in Nijmegen in 1618, informs us in his book
(Smetius 1644) of more than one ind of potery
made near his house on the Broerstraat. At the
same time, these are the irst ind reports from
the Late Roman cemeteries of Nijmegen, to which
we dedicate this study.
Earlier generations apparently took for granted
that Noviomagus and Nijmegen were identical,
even if remains of setlement with the belonging
rubbish were missing in most of the medieval city.
The last time this identiication was made, was in
1906 by H.D.J. van Schevichaven (1827-1918), who
was the municipal archivist of Nijmegen from
1897 until his death. He knew the structure of Roman fortresses and saw their main lines (cardo and
decumanus) perpetuated in the crossing streets of
the Nijmegen city plan. According to him, even
two of the by then demolished thirteenth-century
city gates had been Roman buildings. Van Schevichaven also failed to appreciate the nature of
the Roman inds he knew. This was the result of
the still lasting collectionneurs’ mentality of both
collectors and museum keepers. They did not
work with closed inds and therefore were not
able to date most of the objects. It did not occur
to them that nearly all inner city inds, as a rule
intact potery, came from graves, and that setlement traces were missing.
Only his successor, the former mathematics teacher at the grammar school in Rolduc M.P.M. Daniëls (1877-1952; municipal archivist 1919-1942)
tried to interpret and date the inds. Diligently collecting from 1911 onwards (Daniëls 1955, 129), he
made contacts with the archaeologists J.H. Holwerda and W. Goossens. The later was a school
colleague of his, who in his leasure time assisted
Holwerda. With the help of the frequently appearing archaeological literature he made himself
familiar with the provincial Roman archaeology.
Already in his 1921 article on the Valkhof, he presented the solution of the setlement history of
Nijmegen and surroundings (Daniëls 1921). De
Waele does not yet know of a fourth-century Nijmegen in 1931, and a litle in 1936 (De Waele 1931;
1936). Although there were many stray inds, lack
of systematic excavations prevented the Late Roman cemetery of the inner city from being recognized.
In 1937, however, Daniëls produced a beter
‘fourth period’ of Roman Nijmegen and recognized the inds from the E half of the inner city as a
large Late Roman cemetery (Daniëls 1937; Daniëls
1955, 43 and 226). He produced a distribution map
of Holwerda’s inds. The W half of the inner city
appeared to be the site of a cremation cemetery
of the second and third centuries AD.
His ideas were proven right when digging for a
new wing of the town hall was started in 1940,
just before the outbreak of war. A systematic excavation along the Lange Nieuwstraat proved impossible, but Daniëls managed to coax a mass of
various inds, mostly intact potery, from the
workmen and their bosses for his beloved Municipal Museum, then in the Mariënburg chapel (Daniëls 1955, 232-236; inds B stray 77-127). Daniëls
had proven his long-standing idea that large part
of the medieval inner city had not been inhabited
in Roman times, but had been a cemetery.
Sporadic skeletal inds suggested inhumations,
but no inhumation of the kind to be expected in a
fourth-century Roman cemetery had been studied in situ yet; grave goods were the only things
to go by. Daniëls, being a science man, dared not
speak of an inhumation cemetery yet.
Ater the 1944 devastations of Nijmegen, there
was an opportunity to begin systematic excavations between and under the ruined buildings. The
excavations always followed the old cadastral maps:
foundations and cellars of ruined and demolished
buildings mainly dictated were excavations could
be done; so did the thirteenth-century townmoat. Rebuilding ater 1945 altered the street plan
in this central area almost completely (cf. Figs. 1
and 3). The Korte Nieuwstraat and the Oude
Stadsgracht have completely gone; the already
1

existing names Grutberg, Pauwelstraat and partly
Oude Koningsstraat have been given to streets of
a completely diferent layout. The Mariënburg
square got completely new limits on the N side.
The irst acquaintance did not yet lead to recognition: a trial trench to the S of the Burchtstraat and
N of the St Louis schools brought W-E inhumations (i.e. with the heads pointing W) without grave
goods to light in October of 1947 (see Appendix 1b
for years, trenches and street names). They had
about the same orientation as that of the Broerkerk on the other side of the Lange Nieuwstraat. A
small Christian cemetery? Daniëls could not ind
any indication of a Christian building there in the
archives. It was clear from the proiles, though,
that the thirteenth-century and later brick buildings did not heed the graves. A setlement stratum with thirteenth-century and later inds was
lying undisturbed over a brown humus layer; neither in this humus, nor in the illing of the graves
there was any dating ind. Sherds and other arte-
facts showed the terrain to be regularly inhabited
from the thirteenth century onwards. A few Pingsdorf and globular ware sherds pointed to an earlier period. Badorf potery is all but absent. Firstcentury AD Roman activity on the spot was clear
from sherds, coins, postholes, outlets and pits. A
irst-century AD sunken road with cart-ruts, globally running from the Mariënburg chapel to the
Grotestraat, was also found in these excavations.
It is cut by fourth-century graves.
The search irst went on in another area, the Kerkegasje, W of the town hall, in 1949. Here also inhumation graves, some thirty, but very diferently
oriented, and this time with fourth-century grave
goods. Earlier stray inds on the spot had already
caused the archaeologists to expect them there.
Slowly the conviction grew that the graves found
in 1947 belonged to the same cemetery. Stray
inds from elsewhere in the E inner city made it
grow to unsuspected proportions.
In the autumn of 1950 excavations went on both
3
—
near the Kerkegasje and the St Louis schools. Trial
trenches were made, one E of the Broerkerk,
which was then still standing, and one on the spot
of the vanished small street Halve Trom, W of the
Broerstraat. The later trench indeed brought an
inhumation to light (grave B 1). This proved that
the cemetery had reached this far W. The ground
was disturbed to a great depth here.
In 1951 and 1952, the ground on which the medieval Broerkerk and its cloister had stood (demolished in the meantime because of instability ater
the 1944 bombardment) was excavated. Also in
1952, when part of the Mariënburg square was
lowered to the same level as that of the streets
that came out on it (Lange Koningsstraat, Houtmarkt, Oude Stadsgracht), excavations were held
there; they went on in 1953. In the same area, in
the since then vanished street Grutberg, excavations took place in 1955. In 1956, excavations followed on both sides of the town hall: to the W, a
small addition near the former Broerkerk, to the E
on a by then empty terrain on the (Lange) Nieuwstraat. In 1957, excavations took place on the E
side of the Lange Nieuwstraat, on the Grutberg
and on the Pauwelstraat, parallel to it. In 1960 and
1961 a third terrain on the E side of the Lange
Nieuwstraat was excavated. In 1963, when again
part of the Mariënburg square was lowered, a rescue excavation took place on its S side. When the
police headquarters was built there in 1966 and
the social services building in 1967, some archaeological supervision took place, without much result for the Late Roman cemetery.
As for the numbering of the graves (and other
inds): reorganisation appeared necessary and not
all grave numbers given during excavation could
be maintained. In order to maintain as many as
possible, the terrain was divided in four parts,
named D, G, LN and M:
D
Dominican church and cloister (Broerkerk) and surroundings, which include
the Kerkegasje and the vanished Kaaskorversgas, between the Lange Nieuwstraat, the vanished Korte Nieuwstraat, Broerstraat and Korte
LN
G
M
Burchtstraat with some additions to W
and N: Figs. 8-10.
Lange Nieuwstraat E side and the terrain further E: Figs. 11-15.
Grutberg and surroundings: the area S
and SE of area D. The original numbering here was chaotic for three reasons: the irst graves excavated under
the name Mariënburg were later redivided over areas G and M; in 1955,
continuous numbers were given in two
excavations that took place in the
same time; as a result, graves went
‘missing’ and artiicial numbers were
given in order to give them a place:
Figs. 16-17.
See under G for Mariënburg and surroundings: Fig. 18.
When a second campaign took place in an area
and the daily supervisor began again numbering
the graves from number 1, this was redressed by
adding 100 or 200 to the grave numbers. This
was done in the case of the campaigns 1960-1 in
the Lange Nieuwstraat and 1963 on the Mariënburg. Had, however, a grave already atracted
atention of another archaeologist, both numbers may have appeared in the literature. Thus,
LN 46 in an early publication = LN 246 in a later
one. (Its deinitive number in this study is B 465.)
Not every original ind number represented a
grave: also pits and stray inds received a number; not every oblong pit could be identiied as a
grave with certainty; some clusters got one number. This caused the irst group of original excavation numbers, D 1-32, to consist of 37 graves.
Up to 1963, 587 certain and 30 uncertain graves
were found. 177 of these contained grave goods:
61 in area D, 10 in G, 47 in LN, and 58 in M.
Complete renumbering took place when this
study was being prepared; see the section
‘Renumbering the graves’ in the Chapter 3, Explanatory Notes to the Find Catalogue.
Earlier inds in the cemetery
When cellars were dug under the town hall, ‘plu-
4
—
rima et varia antiquitatis monumenta’ were
found, as Smetius heard around 1640 from old
people (Smetius 1644, 29-30; 1999, 66). It is not
clear whether this took place when the town hall
was built in 1554-1555, or in the second half of
the 16th century, under the already standing
building. Smetius’ words (‘cum cellae foderentur
sub curia urbica’) suggest the later possibility.
This happened frequently in Nijmegen. Although
this part of the city was densely inhabited from
the 13th century onwards and even the townmoat was dug through the cemetery, this is the
earliest ind report concerning the cemetery that
has come to us. Apparently, Smetius was the
irst to take an interest in this kind of trivial
inds. Before that time, only Latin inscriptions in
stone had been preserved - and even these sporadically. Around 1625, and later, new inds had
come to light in the cloister of the Broerkerk, i.e.
next to the house where Smetius himself had
been living since 1618: red and white ‘vases’ of
diferent shapes. In 1641, when Petrus Herzog
had a cistern dug on the other side of the
cloister, three beakers came to light; two came
into Smetius’ possession. Undoubtedly, we must
think of beakers of Symond’s group 61, the most
numerous category of those found in the cemetery. Apparently, they wore no motoes: Smetius
would undoubtedly have mentioned them. The
year before, the baker Rudolf Jansen had found
two beakers when he dug a cellar under his
house on the corner of the Lange Burchtstraat
and the Lange Nieuwstraat, on the Burchtstraat
side. One was red and oblong (terra sigillata?),
the other short and black. Many Roman coins
had been found, especially on the Mariënburg.
Smetius perhaps knew a stone sarcophagus (‘labrum balneare’ = bath tub) from the surroundings of the Barbarossastraat with a coin of
Constantius II (Smetius 1644, 34; 1999, 71).
One and a half century later, Johan in de Betouw
knew a ‘black jug’ with moto DA BIBERE, in the
possession of viscount Jacob van Randwijk, from
this quarter of the city. He himself possessed a
‘jug’ with moto VIVAS. Both will have been bea-
kers, this time with drinking motoes - although
jugs with such motoes do occur. The chronicle
manuscript of Van Druynen mentions, for the
year 1823, a coin of Magnentius (350-353), found
on the Kannenmarkt ‘when a cistern was dug
next to the house of G. Heuvel’ (Kannenmarkt 7,
according to Daniëls 1955, 269) - outside the
known area of the cemetery. Under September
1826 he mentions ‘some antiquities’, found
when a wall was built near the Jewish cemetery,
i.e. on the Mariënburg.
None of the inds mentioned so far can be identiied now. Things got beter, when in 1850 a
municipal collection was formed through a legacy of Mr Guyot. Already in 1852, when again a
cellar was being dug, this time on the Korte
Nieuwstraat near the Kerkegasje, new inds
came to light on a depth of ‘2½ Dutch ell’, i.e. 2.5
meters. The owner of the house, J.A.J. van den
Ult, donated them to the new museum.
Apparently, we have a closed grave ind here, in
which also a skeleton was found. Since then,
new inds reached the Municipal Collection from
time to time. The Municipal Museum Commitee
saw to it from then on, that ind spots were written down: for instance when the water works
were installed in 1879, and the municipal sewerage in 1908. This way, the objects became
archaeological material instead of mere curiosities.
Here Brunsting’s notes break of. For a further description of the terrain, see the last section of Chapter 3, Assessing the original depths of the graves.
The inds mentioned and all later inds that came to
light during later non-systematic excavations are catalogued in topographical order in Chapter 4. The leter
under which they are mentioned igures on the map of
Fig. 3. All objects are now part of the collections of Museum Het Valkhof in Nijmegen. Their inventory numbers
are given in Appendices 2a and 2b in the present study.
2 Introduction to Cemetery NijmegenEast (Cemetery OO)
P.A.M. Zoetbrood
Modern topography
The cemetery of Nijmegen-East is also called
cemetery Hugo de Grootstraat, OO, or Margriet.
These diferent names derive from terrains and
periods in which research has taken place, to be
treated below, in the section Research history and
in Chapter 4 on stray inds.
The cemetery lies immediately E of the old inner
city of Nijmegen. Its modern limits are the
Barbarossastraat on the N, the Jan van
Goyenstraat and the Ten Hoetstraat on the S,
the Pater Brugmanstraat on the E, and the Dr.
Claes Noorduijnstraat on the W. The area is
crossed by the Hugo de Grootstraat and Ten
Hoetdwarsstraat, both running N-S: see Figs. 2
and 19.
Until the dismantling of the fortiications of
Nijmegen, completed in 1882, the area had not
been built over apart from the fortiications
themselves. From the end of the 19th century
onwards, the irst streets were laid out, and
around 1925 the area was largely built over in its
present-day form. The Wilhelmina Hospital,
nowadays Nursing-home Margriet, was built in
that period.
Subsoil and relief
The cemetery is lying near the steep N edge of
the Nijmegen-Kleve ice-pushed ridge, which
rises over the neighbouring Rhine and Waal
valley. The subsoil in which the graves have been
dug consists of preglacial and then ice-pushed
sediments of coarse sand and ine pebbles,
between which layers of ine sands and larger
pebbles reach the surface.
The terrain rises from 36.50 meters above NAP
(Normaal Amsterdams Peil: Normal Amsterdam
Level, the Dutch ordnance datum) in the W to
39.50 m in the E. The relief was more accidented
in Roman times and has been covered with
ground let over from the dismantling of the
fortiications. This diference is c.70 cm in the
Hugo de Grootstraat; on the S side of Nursinghome Margriet it is c.100 cm, on its N c.200 cm,
and in the Dr. Claes Noorduijnstraat it falls again
to c.40 cm. This covering of the Roman surface
meant protection of the archaeological features
and possibly also from the fury of treasurehunters around 1903, which did hit the terrain E
of the Hugo de Grootstraat.
Proile of the subsoil
A N-S proile as seen during the excavations
1979-1983 near Nursing-home Margriet, along
the E section of excavation trenches 209-204203-202-201A and the W section of trenches
197-194-192-189-184-184A, not reproduced in
this study, showed the following structure of the
subsoil. The surface is at c.39.00 meters above
NAP in the N and 38.00 in the S. The top 70-200
cm consists of ground brought up in recent
times ater the dismantling of the fortiications
and before the houses and the hospital were
built. The old surface is a hard black layer, c.5-10
cm thick, at 38.20 meters above NAP in the N,
and at 36.10 in the S. The top of the virgin soil is at
37.20 in the N, and 35.80 in the S. The group of
layers in between, some 100 cm thick in the N and
some 30 cm in the S, shows a clear division in two
in its N part, and a faint one in the S, from trench
197 southwards. The lower half of this group of
layers consists of dirty black soil in which pits
were dug, illed with Flavian and second-century
material. This dirty black soil covers the still
darker Claudian-Neronian top illing of an
Augustan-Tiberian dry moat. Pre-Flavian features
have a generally clean yellowish brown illing,
which contrasts sharply to the dirty black Flavian
layer on top of it. In its turn, the Flavian layer
contrasts to the dirty brown layer on top of it,
from which the fourth-century graves were dug.
Situation in the Roman period (Fig. 20)
Large-scale excavations which have taken place
in Nijmegen since 1947 make it possible to
sketch a rough image of the situation of the
cemetery in the Roman period. Although fourthcentury topography takes pride of place, a
sketch of the preceding periods is necessary. Not
only were features from those preceding periods
found during the excavations of the cemetery,
some of them have taken part in forming the
5
—
6
—
fourth-century landscape: see Fig. 20.
Period Ia: 12 BC or earlier- AD 25
Most typical of the features from this period are
the V-shaped dry ditch with double ditch on
both sides of a rampart behind it, part of the
small auxiliary fortress of the Trajanusplein.
Parts of this fortress came unexpectedly to light
during the excavations near Nursing-home
Margriet: its E limit appeared to reach farther E
than reconstructed in Noviomagus (1979, 24, ig.
16.5; corrected in Lauwerier 1988, 44-5, ig.6). Its
original reconstruction, however, does
correspond to irregularities in the double ditch
found during the 1979-1983 excavations. There
may have been a second phase in the layout of
the auxiliary fortress. The ditches are shown in
Fig. 20 as bending parallel dark bands.
During excavations on the Trajanusplein and in
the Hugo de Grootstraat the side ditches were
found of an E-W road, which runs both through
the actually excavated W gate and the originally
reconstructed E gate of the fortiication (Fig. 20).
During the excavations of the cemetery near
Nursing-home Margriet, a ditch was found
which was interpreted as the S side ditch of this
road, and as such it appeared in summaries of
the periods (Willems 1986, ig. 66; Lauwerier
1988, ig. 6, 7).
Some pits in the excavation area belong to this
same period.
Period Ib-c: AD 25-70
Finds from the top illing of the aforesaid
V-shaped ditch certainly belong to this period,
and possibly some features that cannot
satisfactorily be dated. Some graves in the Hugo
de Grootstraat were possibly already dug in the
preceding period, but others certainly date to
this one. They belong to the irst-century
cemetery of Museum Kamstraat. A V-shaped
ditch, certainly pre-Flavian and possibly dating
to this or the preceding period, was found in the
terrain S of Nursing-home Margriet (Fig. 20). Its
layout and shape correspond well with the fossa
punica interpreted by Bogaers as the possible
limit of Oppidum Batavorum (Noviomagus 1979,
32-3, Fig. 23.5). In later maps it is indeed taken as
the limit of the early Roman setlement around
the Valkhof, but the gate actually found is not
indicated on them (Willems 1986, ig. 66;
Lauwerier 1988, ig. 7). Apart from handmade
sherds of late Iron Age or early Roman date, the
clean illing contained no artefacts. As Flavian
rubbish pits cut the ditch, its pre-Flavian date is
certain. Its layout, parallel to the ditch of the
auxiliary fortress, shows there is a connection,
but its relative chronology could not be established.
The other inds from this period come from a
few rubbish pits and from the top illing of the
ditch of the auxiliary fortress. They may be
ascribed to occupation found farther W around
Trajanusplein and Valkhof (Noviomagus 1979,
Fig. 23.3; Willems 1986, Fig. 66, site 403;
Lauwerier 1988, Fig. 7A).
Period Id-IIa: AD 70 - early second century
As opposed to the preceding period, Flavian
times are well represented on the terrain of the
Late Roman cemetery. The N half of the
excavation area contained Flavian wells or cisterns and rubbish pits in which many iron slags
were found. Both wells and rubbish pits are
indications of industrial activity in the SW part of
the canabae legionis (Noviomagus 1979, ab. 32.2;
Willems 1986, ig.77, site 407; Lauwerier 1988,
ig. 10.C.). The ind of a rectangular cellar built of
limestone and tufa, c.7.50x4.50 and 1.80 meter
deep represents the only remains of buildings.
Parallel NW-SE ditches found on the terrain of
the Late Roman cemetery and in the Dr. Claes
Noorduijnstraat possibly indicate a road.
Period IV: Late Roman
Fourth-century features are limited to
inhumations and related structures. The irstcentury road seems to have inluenced the
topography of the cemetery. The graves in the
Hugo de Grootstraat are all lying S of this road
(Fig. 20). The same seems to be the case with the
ditch found in the excavations around Nursing-
7
—
home Margriet, interpreted as the S road ditch,
but one grave was found immediately N of this
ditch. This may mean no more than that a former
ditch no longer functioned: several parallel ditches
of probably diferent dates were found in the
Hugo de Grootstraat. No limiting features were
found on the W and S sides of the cemetery.
Cemetery OO is one of three large elements of
Late Roman topography of Nijmegen. The other
two are cemetry B in the inner city and the Valkhof
fortress (Figs. 1 and 22).
Period V: post-Roman
Apart from 20th-century disturbances, the only
post-Roman feature is a town moat, part of the
post-medieval fortiications of Nijmegen. The
dismantling of the fortiications led to
heightening the surface level c.1-2 meter above
that of the Late Roman period.
Research history
The earliest reports of inds in the Late Roman
cemetery of Nijmegen-East are from the
beginning of the 20th century, and are the direct
result of road and house building in this area.
Especially in the area between Hugo de
Grootstraat and Eleonorastraat (now Museum
Kamstraat), many inds came to light due to ‘the
digging fury of street urchins’ (Weve 1903, 196;
Daniëls 1955, 326) and to explorations ordered by
the Nijmegen collectionneur G.M. Kam
(Noviomagus 1979, 34, 65; Stuart 1977, 6-8). Kam
invented the code OO for this cemetery, a code
that is also used in the present study; he called the
lower, irst-century cemetery on the same plot,
cemetery O. There was one regular excavation
then, by Leydekkers in grave group CC (Fig. 2; part
of cemetery CC-O-E-S, the subject of Stuart 1977),
the inds of which were published in Vermeulen
1932 (Stuart 1977, 6, n. 19). Part of the inds ended
up in Museum Kam, part in the Leiden National
Museum of Antiquities, but many inds went lost
(Stuart 1977, 6-8).
The irst archaeological excavations took place in
1975, in the Hugo de Grootstraat, which was then
being renovated. Nineteen Late Roman graves
and several early Roman ones were found under
the road: see Appendix 1b. This excavation led to
the name sometimes used: the cemetery of the
Hugo de Grootstraat.
Renovation of the former Wilhelmina Hospital,
nowadays Nursing-home Margriet, on the Dr.
Claes Noorduijnstraat, gave the opportunity for
large-scale excavations. Between 1979 and 1983,
large part of the terrain between Barbarossastraat, Dr. Claes Noorduynstraat, Ten Hoetstraat
and the Hugo de Grootstraat was excavated
(JROB 1979, 49; 1980, 34-5; 1981, 30-1; 1982, 33-4;
1983, 32-3).
The irst fourth-century graves were found in
1980. That year and the two years ater, the
terrain was excavated from S to N, up to the
Barbarossastraat. Ater the demolition of the
mortuaries of the Nursing-home in 1982, the W
extension to the Dr. Claes Noorduijnstraat could
be added to the N-S section (trenches 214-217).
The work was rounded of with the excavation of
a strip next to the E facade of the building (trench
219). 325 graves were recognized and excavated
completely, or, on the excavation limits, partly.
The total number of recognized graves, inclusive
of those in the Hugo de Grootstraat, then was
344.
In 2004, mr H. van Enckevort, municipal
archaeologist of Nijmegen, studied the records of
the Margriet excavations. His analysis yielded 145
unrecognized graves, bringing the total of the
excavated graves in cemetery OO to 489.
Work was done under scientiic supervision of
J.H.F. Bloemers up to 1982, and of W.J.H. Willems
in 1983. Daily technical supervision was with A.
Buisman in the years 1980-1981, and with K.
Greving in the other years.
The excavations were made possible by the kind
cooperation of the Board of Nursing-home
Margriet and workmen of Unemployment Relief
Works of Nijmegen and surroundings.
Ways of excavating
The methods of excavating and registration in a
project of several years are generally not uniform.
Time and workpower available, external
8
—
circumstances such as the weather, and the search
for answers to new questions leave their marks.
These changes are clearly visible in the detailed
plans of the graves in the Hugo de Grootstraat,
the original grave numbers 1-189, and 191-327 (see
Appendix 1b for these grave numbers), and in the
plans of the graves recognized later during analysis of the excavation records. The original grave
numbers 190 and 222 were removed from the
records: 190 was a niche belonging to the grave
with original number 238 (now OO 168); original
numbers 222 and 245 were given to two halves of
the same grave in diferent excavation trenches
(now OO 82).
The topsoil was always removed mechanically:
from 70 cm in the Hugo de Grootstraat up to 200
cm near the Nursing-home. The few trials to make
the irst level on the top of the original surface did
not give results that could be interpreted. For that
reason, the irst excavation level was made at the
top of the virgin soil. Most of the graves were then
immediately visible as dark brown to black
discolorations in a yellow matrix. Alas, the
mechanical diggers in many cases irretrievably
removed the tops of ceramic grave goods.
Ater drawing the irst level to scale 1:50, the
graves and their immediate surroundings were
then deepened with a spade that was used as a
plane, down to the level where details of the
grave became clearly visible. In many cases, this
was the irst clear outline of the wooden coin, in
some cases skeletal remains and grave goods.
Ater drawing this second level the grave was
deepened further, mostly with a spade, but near
grave goods and skeletal remains with a trowel or
iner tools. The last 5-10 cm of the illing were
removed with a trowel in those cases that skeletal
remains and/or grave goods had been found.
Especially in 1982 and 1983, the trowel was used
much more frequently than before.
The loose sandy illing of the graves, themselves
lying in a matrix of coarse sand, made the use of
the quadrant method impossible. Moreover,
during several trials the vertical discolorations of
walls of the coins appeared to be so vague, that
it was preferred to try to recognize them in the
horizontal plane instead of making vertical
sections.
In the Hugo de Grootstraat, time pressure caused
the graves to be excavated in a hurry, and the data
were drawn on the 1:50 scale. Details of coins
and skeletal material are generally missing there,
and the quality of documentation must be called
poor.
As against the usual rescue excavations under
time pressure in Nijmegen, the excavations
around Nursing-home Margriet could be done
with relative ease. The result is a beter
documentation of the graves.
It must, however, be remarked that atention was
too much focussed on skeletal material in the irst
189 graves excavated. Detail drawings to the scale
1:20 were deemed suicient.
As from the grave with original number 191,
atention was much more paid to aspects of the
inhumations, especially coin construction. It was
then tried to improve documentation by drawing
to a scale 1:10, and the position of every single nail
of the coin was not only noted down in the
horizontal plane, as it had been done before, but
also in the vertical section. And in cases where the
drawing did not make things clear immediately,
the direction of the nail (head/point) was also
noted down. These data formed the basis for
longitudinal and transverse sections of the coins.
In order to support and if needed correct this
three-dimensional registration, inked drawings
with reconstructed sections were made on the
basis of the ield drawings in one or two days, or
so it was tried. Corrections and additions
repeatedly appeared to be possible during
discussions between scientiic and technical staf.
The result of this intensive method appears from
the drawings of many graves. Mr K. Greving but
above all technical draughtsman Mr A.M. Nijs
have done their utmost. The paragraph on coins
in Chapter 13 is based on their work.
3 Explanatory notes to the ind
catalogue
Graves
Apart from a few cremation graves, enumerated
at the end of this section, all graves are inhumations. Coin traces were usually clearly visible
during excavation and oten nails were found,
though they were not counted in most cases (see
the section on nails in Chapter 13). The deceased
were always lying supine, sometimes with arms
folded. The orientations of the graves and,
where there was a diference, of the coins are
given in degrees and give the direction in which
the head was pointing: N is 0°, E is 90°, S is 180°,
and W is 270°. However, the sandy soil of Nijmegen being a very acid matrix, skeleton and coin
have disappeared without a trace in many cases:
there, two possible directions of the grave are
given. These instances were excluded from analysis of the orientation of the graves. The ive or
six cremation graves are B 5, B 106, B 140, B
182?, OO 131, and OO 308.
Measurements
Altitude measurements of grave botoms and
niches are given in meters above NAP. Sometimes the altitude measurements could only be
taken relatively, in relation to street or excavation level; where possible, these have been calculated in NAP-altitudes aterwards.
All other measurements are given in cm, the abbreviation cm being omited; h = height, l =
length, d = diameter, w = width. Where no measurements are given, these were absent from
the documentations on which this catalogue is
based and the objects themselves could not be
found in the museum depot. When a grave had
been cut through by another grave or a later disturbance, its measurements are given with the
sign >, e.g. grave >65x60, coin trace >50x>45. Artefacts in the graves are numbered in typological
order 1, 2, 3.. Dates are AD unless otherwise stated.
Figures
As good as all artefacts found during the 19471963 excavations in cemetery B led by H. Brunsting were drawn by mr H. van Teeseling in the
years 1960-1970. He also drew a selection of the
stray inds from both cemeteries B and OO. However, very many artefacts found during the
1976-1983 excavations led by J.H.F. Bloemers
were not drawn: of his and W.J.H. Willems’ excavations of cemetery B, hardly anything was
drawn; frequent potery types from cemetery
OO were not drawn. I have inspected and measured all inds by Bloemers and Willems, and decided to try to show everything, in order to do
justice to the way such a catalogue is used:
whoever is looking for parallels for his own material, browses through the drawings and only
starts reading where he sees a similar complex.
However, though I drew many potery and glass
vessels, there was time nor money to make all
new drawings required. This last batch of object
drawings were made by Mikko Kriek and Wim
Euverman only when the present study was undergoing its inal redaction.
It could not be prevented that older and newer
drawings, of diferent hands and styles, igure
side by side. Drawings in doted lines indicate that
the object does igure in the documentations but
could not be drawn, usually, in the case of glass
vessels, because it had gone completely lost.
Plans of graves were made for Brunsting’s excavations in order to give an illustrative selection
of graves with grave goods. Plans and sections of
selected graves in Bloemers’ excavations in cemetery OO were made for quite a diferent reason in the 1980’s: in order to study the construction of the coins by documenting the positions
of the nails. In a few cases, they do not even
show the grave goods found (OO 83, OO 134, OO
212). There is of course no unity of style between
these two groups of drawings of graves.
Scales
Scales of the maps difer and are indicated by
scale bars in meters. The scale for graves and
sarcophagi is 1:40. Perspective drawings of brick
and sketches made in doted lines are not to
scale. Potery and glass vessels and chests are
shown to the scale 1:4. All other objects are
shown 1:2.

Beads
In 2006, when the manuscript of the present
study was in its inal stages, Mrs Wil van Bommel-van der Sluijs asked permission to use the
descriptions of beads in ind catalogue and typology for her Nijmegen University MA thesis on
Roman and Germanic beads in the Netherlands
(Sluijs 2007). She studied them all. The reader
can now proit by her unpublished study via the
present ind catalogue and typology. Her study
shows that Late Roman Nijmegen is on the border of two beads areas: the Roman and the Germanic ones. For the Roman one, the typology of
Riha (1990, referred to as Riha) is followed, for
the Germanic, Tempelmann-Maczynska (1985,
referred to as TM), Siegmann (2001-3, referred
to with her type preix PE) and Koch (1977, 1987,
1997, referred to as Koch). Whenever a bead is
not exactly like the type cited, the type number
gets the extension Var. Their material is glass,
unless stated otherwise. The height of a bead is
the length of its threadhole.
Renumbering the graves
The original numbering of the graves relected
the order in which they were found, and showed
large lacunas. That way, the graves had no continuous numbers on the map, and as a consequence the map was not easy to be read. All graves have therefore been renumbered. A
concordance of original and new grave numbers
is found in Appendices 1a and 1b; Appendices 2a
and 2b do the same for object numbers.
In this study, the maps of both cemeteries are
organised like pages of text: the graves are numbered in rows from west to east (= let to right)
and, like the lines of a text, these rows must be
read from the top of the map down. This was
done with the help of a grid, not shown on the
maps. The higher the grave number, the lower
down on the map it is. In two cases, however,
the map became clearer by numbering according
to excavation areas, i.e. contiguous excavation
trenches. This is the case on the maps of area M
(Fig. 18, graves B 674-828) and of the entire cemetery OO, where irst the main area in the west
was numbered, and then the trench in the Hugo
de Grootstraat in the east.
First and second-century coins and ibulae: intrusions?
It has been suggested to me that the 33 irst and
second-century coins were not intentionally put
in the fourth-century graves, but that they are
intrusions: Nijmegen had been Roman for more
than three centuries when the Late Roman cemeteries came into being, and the ground was
litered with coins, so it was said. So, the reasoning went, they got into the graves unintentionally when the illing was thrown in.
Admitedly, the coin loss in the irst century on
the Kops Plateau, part of the Nijmegen ice-pushed ridge to the east of the Valkhof, was large
enough to ill a bulky study by dr J.P. van der Vin
(2002). But there is no question of unintentional
intruding of early coins in later traces there.
I have three reasons for not following the suggestion.
Firstly, in the following sixteen cases, there can
be no doubt that a irst or second-century coin
was put in the grave intentionally: B 14.5 was in
the mouth; B 59.9 was on the middle of the
body; B 67.5 was in the coin near the foot-end;
B 86.6 was near the let elbow, as though it had
been held in the right hand; B 140.6 was part of a
carefully laid out row of objects; B 227.1 was on
the pelvis; B 298.1-6 belong to a purse with 48
other coins the lady needed on her journey to
the underworld; B 460.1 was near the right foot;
B 486.2 was only 5 cm above the botom of the
coin; B 522.1 was between the feet; B 465.10
was in the mouth.
Secondly, we publish a long series of excavations,
conducted between 1947 and 1983. There is only
one early coin mentioned in the ind reports as a
stray ind from excavations, B stray 316. There
should have been dozens if unintentional intrusion took place so oten, even if we take into account that there were no metal detectors when
Brunsting’s excavations took place.
Thirdly, Gorecki (1975, 229-230), who studied
coins in inhumations in a large area, sees coins
11
—
in the illing time and again and interprets them
as farewell coins thrown in during the illing of
the grave. That picture is too beautiful not to be
believed. Especially old coins are very suitable to
be thrown in, as they are part of a rite de passage
into a timeless state and not of a payment (cf.
Hiddink 2003, 199). Aarts (2002) made it even
the title of his thesis: Coins or money?
A similar presence of many earlier Roman ibulae is for the same reasons considered here not
to be an unintentional intrusion, but an intentional farewell git thrown in during the illing of
the grave, expressing the bond between the living and the dead.
Assessing the dates of the graves in real years
The codes used in the chapter on typology for
quarter and one-thirds of centuries are translated into real years here. In the case of quarter
centuries: IVa = AD 301-325; IVb = 326-350; IVc =
351-375; IVd = 376-400; in the case of one-thirds
of centuries, allowing for the Dritel with which
German archaeologists frequently reckon, and in
the deviating code used in this study: IVA = AD
301-333; IVB = 334-367; IVC = 368-400. Assessing
the dates of the graves in real years has been
done in several rounds.
First round: artefact dates, usually consisting of
both a terminus post quem and a terminus ante
quem. If a grave contained one artefact (as long
as this is not a coin: see below), the artefact date
of the grave is equal to the period in which the
type present is dated in the chapter on typology,
i.e. by study of the literature. If a grave contained at least two artefacts, its artefact date is
the overlap of the periods of use of those types.
If no overlap can be found, there are two possibilities. Firstly, an old artefact, for instance a
irst-century coin, was also put into the grave.
The artefact date of the grave then is equal to
the overlap of the later artefacts indicated above. Secondly, if there is no overlap to be found
for fourth- or ith-century artefacts in the grave,
then the date of a type is not correct yet and
must be adjusted. Disappointingly many graves
get the broad artefact dates of AD 301-350 or AD
301-367.
One kind of artefacts plays a special role here:
the many decorated dark coloured beakers and
other shapes from Trier belonging to Künzl’s decoration group V, dated by her to 300/310-355
(Künzl 1997, 69). They have been dated here by
the production time to AD 300-355, although
they may have been deposited several years after AD 355.
Second round: coin dates. Since the basic study of
Carson, Hill and Kent (1960), the study of fourthcentury coins no longer works with emperors’
reigns, but in periods. New dynasties and coin
reforms cause eight periods of circulation, ater
each of which the old coins are abolished or anyway disappear from circulation, and new ones
appear. These eight periods are given in Table 1.

Do the fourth-century coins of the Nijmegen cemeteries obey the laws of this periodisation?
Partially. There are as few as thirteen graves with
more than one fourth-century coin. In six cases,
the coin groups do obey the periodisation, in seven they do not: see Table 2, where they are presented in the order of the coin periods.
In six cases, only one period is represented: cases
3, 4, 6, 7, 10 and 12. Also in six cases, coins of the
preceding period are present with those of the
subsequent one: cases 1, 2, 5, 8, 9 and 11. Apparently, coins could stay on for one other period.
Number 13 is, as it should be, the odd one out,
where coins of three periods and more than for-

ty years apart occur together. There may have
been a sentimental reason for keeping two old
coins, such as year of birth of the deceased. This
coin group, which otherwise does behave like
cases 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, and 11, is not taken into account in the following.
This state of afairs has led to a casuistic approach to the dating of graves by coins in this study,
with four possibilities.
Firstly, where only one period is represented by
more than one coin in the above cases 3, 4, 6, 7,
10 and 12, the evidence is not stretched and the
grave is dated between the earliest minting date
of its latest coin and the end of the coin period
concerned.
Secondly, where two subsequent periods are
represented, in the above cases 1, 2, 5, 8, 9 and
11, something similar has been done: from the
earliest minting date of its latest coin to the end
of the second period represented (otherwise, we
would stretch the evidence that shows that survival of coins during one period into the next is
possible, and we would make those of the irst
period represented survive during two periods).
Thirdly, in all cases not in Table 2.1, we deal with
one fourth-century coin per grave. As we now
know that coins in Nijmegen could stay on for
another period, coin dates for graves with one
coin of periods 1-7 run from the earliest minting
date of the coin until the end of the subsequent
coin period. This approach, however, does not
work for late third-century coins, as appears
from the case of grave OO 271: a coin of Probus
(276-282) in that grave, which is dated by the
other artefacts to AD 325-350. Perhaps, the coin
was used not as money in the usual sense, but as
an old coin, appropriate for the transition into
another realm. Probus’ name (‘the good man’)
may have inluenced the choice of this coin.
Fourthly and inally, graves with one coin from
period 8 get a coin date from the earliest minting date of the coin up to the end, AD 402.
The resulting coin dates of the graves with
fourth-century coins are given in Table 2.2.
In one case where many coins were found, grave
B 298, the coins give a more or less precise terminus ad quem: nine of its coins are dated AD 313-317,
and one only 319. This makes the terminus ad quem
for this grave AD 319 or 320, allowing for one year
in which the coin reached Nijmegen.
And the lady in B 298, identiied as a Sabazios
worshipper from Cologne, was not the only prominent Nijmegen lady to pass away in those
years. The sarcophagus of the Grutberg, B 620,
containing a rich young lady of eight years old at
the most, and famous for her tambourine sticks,
is dated to AD 317-318 by this approach.
Third round: stratigraphical dates. Graves without artefacts, cuting, or cut by, other graves that were
dated in the irst and second rounds, get a derived

stratigraphical date consisting of either a terminus
ante quem or a terminus post quem. An earlier
grave cut by another one that has an artefact date
of AD 323-350 may have existed (long) before AD
323 and it cannot be later than AD 350, so it gets a
stratigraphical date of AD ?-350 here. A later grave
cuting one with an artefact date of AD 323-350
only has its terminus post quem within this period, which may be as early as AD 323; as it has no
terminus ante quem, its stratigraphical date is given here as AD 323-?. Stratigraphical dates in real
years are given in the catalogue only when they
provide new information on the date of the grave,
not already known from the artefact date. Most
stratigraphical dates are unspectacular. The following ones are frequent: AD 301-?, ?-350 and
?-367, being the beginning of the century, the end
of the second quarter and the second one-third,
respectively.
Dating hitherto undated types of dress accessories
Finally, dates of hitherto undated types of dress
accessories were derived from the dates of the
graves they were found in: drawing up a list of
dates of the graves and taking the overlap as the
date of the type. In graves where they were the
only artefact found, this led in turn to dating the
grave.
Assessing the original depths of the graves
In order to assess the original depth of the graves,
we must reconstruct the Roman ield level in relation to that of the present-day street. Like the cemetery Nijmegen-East (OO), the cemetery of the
Inner City is situated on terrain gently sloping
down from the edge of the Nijmegen ice-pushed
ridge. The north side of the Valkhof, where the
Roman camp was whose inhabitants and dependents used the cemetery, is part of the steep slope
of this ridge. It overlooks a bend in the river Waal.
Today, the terrain slopes up from west to east
(where the Valkhof is), and down from north to
south: from 29.80 m +NAP near the street side of
the city hall in the north of area D, to 27.07 in the
south of area LN, and upwards again to 30.50 m
around the Mariënburg chapel in southeast area
M, and westwards from that chapel down again
to 28.30 m, whereas southwards it stays in the 29
metres. Below, the street level above any grave is
either taken to be in proportion with the nearest
two values recorded, or the same as the value taken immediately at its edge.
For cemetery B, the data for the Roman ield level
are few and far between. In the south of area LN,
graves B 459 and B 462 were in proile seen to
have been dug from a Roman ield level at 26.30
m +NAP, i.e. c.0.77 m under the present-day street
level. In area LN, a Roman surface was noted in
section drawing C-D (Fig. 14) at heights between
28.10 and 28.30 +NAP, i.e. c.0.80 m under presentday street level in its west end, where the two graves B 308 and B 313 are. In the same area LN, the
section drawing A-B without graves (Fig. 14)
shows a Roman ield level at 28.31 +NAP, c.1.00 m
under present-day street level. Still in area LN,
more to the east, the Roman ield level in section
O-P (Fig. 14) is at c.29.50 +NAP, i.e. c.1.80 m under
present-day street level; this section, however,
shows no graves.
These few data seem to lead to a Roman ield level at 0.77-0.80 m under present-day street level
in sections that actually have graves. For the sake
of ease this is rounded of at 0.80 m; or, as all
measurements (other than NAP heights) in this
study are given in centimeters, at 80 cm under
street level. So the grave depths below are calculated by subtracting the botom level of the grave
from its Roman NAP surface, taken to be 80 cm under the present-day street level.
This is of course a rough-and-ready way of assessing, and it may lead to absurd results. The reconstructed level of the surface may end up lower
than the recorded level at the botom of the grave. The depth is indicated with a question mark
there. In the case of Bloemers’ excavations, executed in several planes, the recorded highest plane in which the grave was observed gives its value
to NAP surface when it is higher than the reconstructed surface. In short: whichever of the two
NAP top levels was highest was selected.
15
—
Many NAP heights, be it street level, Roman
ground level, top or botom level of a grave, were
not recorded during excavation. Where the bottom level of the grave was not recorded, no attempt at establishing its depth has been made.
Anyway, depth appeared not to be correlated with
any meaningful factor.

4 Catalogue of the stray inds
The Late Roman cemeteries of Nijmegen are buried under the modern town: cemetery Β (Nijmegen-Inner City) under the medieval centre, cemetery OO (Nijmegen-East) under a late nineteenth/
early twentieth-century quarter one kilometer E
of the centre. Their locations resulted in numerous stray inds. As these stray inds were made
before the excavations, their catalogue comes
irst.
There are no earlier ind reports than the 1640s,
even though the late medieval town-moat was
dug through the cemetery B of Nijmegen-Inner
City. The position of this old town-moat was still
indicated by the now vanished street name Oude
Stadsgracht when the excavations published in this
study started: see Figs. 3 and 16. Part of the adjoining medieval town wall with an inner butress
is visible on Fig. 16 near graves B 617, B 619, B 621
and B 629. A possible collection of inds, made
when this medieval town-moat was dug, was a
large number of ‘Roman urns’, all without bottom, built into the apparently medieval wall of the
atic of the house at Lange Burchtstraat 14 (fourth
building E of the Lange Nieuwstraat, demolished
1912: see ater B stray 132).
Interest for Roman inds in Nijmegen started in
the 1640s, due to the work of the protestant clergyman Johannes Smetius (Smetius 1644). He and
later students of Roman Nijmegen up to the nineteenth century are cited below in section A of this
chapter.
Stray inds are important for four reasons. 1 They
indicate the extent and limits of the cemeteries. 2
They can be used in the study of the frequency of
types. 3 They comprise rare types not (yet) found
in regular excavations. 4 They contribute to our
knowledge of the history of archaeology in Nijmegen.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century,
when stray inds began to turn up en masse, the
Nijmegen Roman cemeteries on the Hunerberg
and further east have been indicated with capital
leters, given by the Nijmegen collector of antiquities Gerard Marius Kam (1836-1922): CC, E, OH,
KKH, O, OO, R, RK and S (Fig. 2; Daniëls 1955, 309;
Stuart 1963, 1; Stuart 1977, 3-5). O is part of the
irst-century cemetery CC-E-O-S, OO the Late Roman cemetery identiied under the same building
block as O, between the Hugo de Grootstraat in
the W, the Jan van Goyenstraat in the S, the Pater
Brugmanstraat in the E, and the Barbarossastraat
in the N (Fig. 19).
In this study, we perpetuate this tradition by indicating the entire cemetery Nijmegen-East with OO
(being also the irst leters of Dutch oost = east),
and the cemetery of Nijmegen-Inner City with B
(Dutch binnenstad = inner city). The stray inds are
called B stray and OO stray.
As for cemetery B of the inner city, ive groups of
stray inds are distinguished here, numbered A-E.
A Seventeenth to early nineteenth-century inds;
inds not surviving or not to be identiied: numbers B stray I-XII.
B Nineteenth and twentieth century, surviving
stray inds per site: numbers B stray 1-227.
C Nineteenth and twentieth century, surviving
stray inds where the ind-spot is not known with
precision: numbers B stray 228-271.
D Possibly earlier Roman inds from the area of
the Late Roman cemetery: numbers B stray 272295.
E Stray inds of Roman and Frankish times from
the excavation trenches: numbers B stray 296-317.
Stray inds from cemetery Nijmegen-East have
been reported between 1903, when there was a
digging fury in the terrain OO (see below) and
1963, when there were building activities in the
Hugo de Grootstraat. They are numbered OO stray
1-313.
Late Roman stray inds of complete potery vessels from other sites in Nijmegen, apparently from
Late Roman graves, are numbered Remainder stray
1-21, abbreviated Rem. whenever the layout of the
page requires it.
As opposed to the inds of the excavations, it has
not been the intention to draw every artefact of
this part of the ind catalogue, but all existing
drawings have been reproduced.

Translation of this text with inserted bold Roman numerals in order to enumerate the inds:
I Twenty years years ago and more recently, reddish and white beakers of various shapes were
dug up in the cloister of the Dominican church
[Broerkerk; see Fig. 8], in the adjacent building
and the one next to it, the house I live in. II Very
recently, in the year 1641, Peter Hertzog dug up
three beakers (two now in my possession), when
he was making a cistern in his house in the
opposite part of the same cloister. III I heard
from old men that very many and various ancient objects were found when cellars were being dug under the town hall. IV In a similar way,
the baker Rudolf Jansen found two ancient
beakers, one long and red, the other shorter and
blackish; this happened in October 1640, in the
house on the corner of the Nieuwstraat, opposite the town hall, where the street leads to the
castle [Burchtstraat], when he was digging a cellar in order to build an oven with permission of
the authorities. V Coins are also found here in
various places. Recently, the printer Nicolaas van
Hervelt gave me several, found in his garden on
the Mariënburg; and another one from an adjacent garden was given to me by Johan van Broeckhuijsen, secretary of the Arsenal.
In de Betouw (1785, 1797 and 1805/1806) repeats
these ind reports. The following ones are of later date.
VI Found near the castle: a small black ‘jug
[kruikje]’ with the moto DA BIBERE, in possession of viscount Jacob van Randwijck. (Cannegieter 1758, 243; In de Betouw 1805/1806, 15-6).
VII Cannegieter (1758, 243) also reports a ‘chalice’ in the possession of Everard Heker with
MITEME, interpreted by In de Betouw as MITE
MERVM. VIII Small ‘jug [kruikje]’ with moto VIVAS, in possession of In de Betouw (In de Betouw 1805/1806, 16). IX The moto MISCEMI given by Byvanck with Nijmegen as provenance will
also have been found in the cemetery of the inner city: if the moto was complete, the vessel
probably also was (Byvanck 1931-1947, II, 147,
no. 223 = CIL XIII 10018; the other seven motoes
there are already listed here). X The Nijmegen
chronicle manuscript of Van Druijnen (n.d., 27)
notes for the year 1823: a coin of Magnentius
(350-353) found with XI a blackish terracota
lamp, found on the Kannenmarkt (number of
the house 7, according to Daniëls (1955, 269)).
XII The same chronicle, for the year 1826 (Van
Druijnen n.d., 41), reports the ind of ‘some antiquities’ when a wall was built near the Jewish
cemetery on the Mariënburg. Daniëls (1955, 244)

B Nineteenth and twentieth century,
preserved stray inds per site
These stray inds are enumerated here with
numbers (B stray) 1-227 per site and where possible with the year of the ind. The sites are indicated a-z and aa-gg on the map. The old ind
reports I-XII of part A are, where possible, repeated here pro memoria.
Events that led to digging on a large scale in the
area of the cemetery, before the systematic archaeological excavations: 1879 construction of
waterworks; 1907/1908 construction of general
sewerage; 1933 construction of a storehouse for
the department store of Van den Borg to the S of
the Broerkerk; 1940 enlargement of the town
hall; and 22 February 1944 bombardment by allied airplanes, which, on their way back from a
planned bombardment on Gotha cancelled because of mist there.
The construction of waterworks led in 1879 to
inds in Korte and Lange Burchtstraat, Lange
Nieuwstraat and Grutberg. The construction of
general sewerage in 1907/1908, to inds in Lange
Burchtstraat, Lange and Korte Nieuwstraat,
Houtmarkt, Pauwelstraat and Ziekerstraat. The
construction of the depot of Van den Borg in
1933, to inds in the Broerstraat and the (now
vanished) alley Kaaskorversgas, which ran along
the S side of the Broerkerk (plan in Daniëls 1955,
231, ig. 90). The enlargement of the town hall in
1940 (indicated consequently as ‘new construction’) brought to light the largest group of inds so
far, in the Korte and Lange Nieuwstraat. The
devastation of the bombardment of 1944 was
the immediate cause of the excavations that began in 1947, but did not result in many inds dur-

There is a mix-up around this beautiful ibula.
The inventory number 11.1957.1 is legible on the
photograph but does not correspond to a
number in the inventory book, where 11.1957.1 =
B stray 239, found on the corner Broerstraat/
Burchtstraat, apparently 1957. The description of
the ibula its 11.1957.7; it was reportedly found
in the river Waal, and its beautiful river patina
supports this ind report. It has been decided to
keep this ibula in the ind catalogue because it
its into the typology of the Nijmegen cemeteries and the erroneous ind report has been published twice.

an article of fun: whoever followed the advice
writen on the beaker would spill wine on his

Translation:
In the second region on the southside [Kelkensbos, to the W of the Valkhof], when they were
digging an aquaduct from the pool on the hill
opposite the castle that allways loods the lower
street, a mass of ruins and tufa was dug up and
brought to light; the same happened nearby a
short time ago. In the garden of the house that
Willem Ruhr lives in, of the horsemen under
command of Mr Van Sommelsdijck, I saw a mixture of sherds, tiles and ancient stucco being
thrown out when they were digging rather deep,
and a coin of Octavianus Augustus found in a
nearby garden.

Finds B stray 307-315 are fragments of Frankish
carinated jars. It should be noted that all Frankish inds, which concentrate on the Grutberg, are
stray inds. As almost entire stray Frankish vessels were found there earlier (B stray 146-157),
there may have been Frankish graves in that
area, but these were not found during careful
excavations, which did result in the inds B stray
307-315.

310-315 Apparently in the same excavation
trench as graves B 578 - B 586, several fragments of Frankish carinated jars came to light,
unfortunately as ill-documented stray inds. Of
these, two bases and a small rim fragment cannot be assigned to a type. Others do have clear

tween the Hugo de Grootstraat in the W, the Jan

(What is now the S half of the Hugo de Grootstraat, had the name Van Rosendaelstraat up to
c.1957 (Daniëls 1955, 309, ig. 137).) In the same
area, at a lower level, there is a irst-century
cemetery, indicated with O since Mr Kam
dubbed it that way. Daniëls writes:
“PLOT O
In May 2008, the daughter of a former general
practitioner in Nijmegen brought four pieces,
most likely originating from the Inner City Cemetery, from the possessions of her deceased father to Museum Het Valkhof: numbers B stray
318-321. Measurements unknown. B stray 318319 will remain in the possession of her son,
whereas B stray 320-321 have been acquired by
the museum. 318 A jug of imitation terra sigillata
Gellep 43, lip damaged but otherwise complete.
On the maximum diameter, between horizontal
wavy lines, M•I•T•T•E•M•E•R•V•M; below, a running scroll (Künzl element 188). 319 Brown-marbled double-handled jug Gellep 72 with white
decoration on the shoulder. 320 A glass beaker
Gellep 194, incomplete but with complete proile, h c.40. 321 A glass beaker Gellep 521, all but
complete.
Finally, it should be mentioned here what Mr
J.R.A.M. Thijssen told me: a works-clerk of the
rebuilding of the town hall in the 1970s possesses a group of stray inds. This group, apparently
kept in Beuningen, could not be retrieved.
CEMETERY OO
Daniëls (1955, 325-330) discusses the value of
the signatures with which stray inds from the
cemeteries on the Hunerberg (as opposed to
that of the inner city) are indicated. The following translated quotations are important for the
understanding of the Late Roman cemetery Nijmegen-East (OO), as known then: the block be-
The report by Weve [Bull. Oudk. Bond 1st series
IV (1903) 196-8] was apparently writen as a reaction to the shocking plunder of that year ‘of a
plot of waste land E of the Hugo de Grootstraat’,
i.e. the plot indicated by Kam with O (and OO).
(..)
Although I was not specially interested in such
maters then, I remember that digging fury well.
I have the impression that it was very much
furthered by more or less large-scale unemployment; and that, due to particular circumstances
of the ownership of the plot, the police only
intervened when the surrounding roads were
being undermined.
Mr Kam did save part of the inds, but much
disappeared to elsewhere then. Litle of what was
or got broken remained. So the Kam collection
comprised few fragments for a long time. (..)
Finds during construction of a livery-stable and
house in the Hugo de Grootstraat (so that of Mr
Wolf, nos 26-28 in the upper part of the street, E
side).
Among other things, two strata, diference in
depth 2 m. In the upper stratum so far 10-12
half-decayed skeletons, next to one another in a
regular way, heads to the E. Traces of wooden
coins - Constantian coin. (..)
Naturally, some inds had been made in this area
before. This certainly concerns the acquisition of
the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden [RMO] in Leiden (Annual Report RMO 1896-7, 13-4), from the
34
—
then well-known Nijmegen antique dealer
Grandjean and found ‘on the Hunerberg, now
Ten Hoetstraat, on a spot where also many
corpses were found’. This latest remark probably
explains the very late inds that were always
made, beside the very early ones, on the same
plot. (..) In a similar way, the ‘very beautiful Roman and Frankish antiquities’ found on the Berg
en Dalseweg and then in possesion of the aforesaid Grandjean probably come from plot O and
its environs (Annual Report RMO 1900-1, 215).
This ind seems not to have been acquired by
Leiden at that time.
Mr Kam’s well-known laboratory atendant and
handy-man, Mr Janssen, always assured me that
a cemetery on top of another one was found.”
Stuart (1977, 6) treats the problem of irst-century inds from cemetery O that got erroneously
the signature OO (of the fourth-century cemetery on the same plot) in the museum inventory
card index and sums them up in his list (Stuart
1977, 79-89, signature 1 (OO)). Two of these
pieces had found a place in the catalogue below
of the stray inds from cemetery OO and have
been dropped: OO stray 216 (= inventory number
VII.b.38) and OO stray 238 (= inventory number
VII.m.6). A prehistoric ind that had crept in, OO
stray 15 (= inventory number AA.145), has also
been dropped.
I may add that no certain stray inds are known
from cemetery OO from the last decades of the
nineteenth century, when the residential quarter
was being built upon it. This may be due to a protecting layer of earth added when the Nijmegen
medieval fortiications were demolished.
Nevertheless, it has come to my notice that a
group of stray inds, come to light during the
construction of the Wilhelmina Hospital (now
Nursing-home Margriet) is in the possession of
the widow of a Nijmegen antique dealer. She is
unwilling to show them to anyone outside her
family (pers. comm. R. Hoek, who did not reveal
her name).

NB According to the inventory index card of IX.l.5
= OO stray 139, this piece was found in April 1904
together with OO stray 181, 176, IX l 86 (not
found in depot), and Remainder stray 5-8 plus IX
l 109 (neither found in card index nor in depot).
These are, respectively, a Künzl 1.6.1, a Künzl
1.4.1m, an unidentiied piece, a Symonds 61
smooth (with faked graito POTENS), and three
beakers Symonds 61 incised plus an unidentiied
piece. This would mean that a small and a large
ine dark coloured moto-beaker and ive ine
dark coloured beakers plus two unidentiied
pieces were found in one grave. However, the
largest number of ine dark coloured beakers in
one grave found during regular excavations is
four, in grave OO 70. So we may consider this
ind report as false as the graito POTENS in this
group. As no site is indicated of four of these
beakers, these have been relegated to the category Remainder stray, with numbers 5-8.

On the inventory index card is writen: ‘513.9
grave with glass beaker, bronze bracelet, ring
and pin U.Berg: (Ubbergen?) or H.Berg?’ H.Berg
must be Hunerberg. Apparently there was a sticker with ‘U/H.Berg’ on the beaker when Maria
den Boesterd wrote the index card. The other

has not added the usual lip above the collar. No
ind-spot indicated. 13 Fine dark coloured motto-beaker, Λ•V•E•T•E•:, h 20.3. Künzl 1.6.1. According to inventory index card found in cemetery
‘Hees near Nijmegen’. This provenance may be
considered false: it refers to the cemetery of the
town Ulpia Noviomagus, dated AD 70-240
(Brunsting 1937, 3). 14 Piece of potery with motto BIBE: Evelein 1930, 29. This probably is a beaker of Künzl 1.4.1m with moto B•I•B•E (branch,
word divider 64) between two horizontals, h
10.3. 15 A card with description and drawing in
the inventory card index describes another stray
piece with the same moto B•I•B•E, but it mentions a number already given to another piece;
the botle cannot be found in the museum de-
pot. Fine dark coloured botle with four dents,
two incised zones and decoration and moto in
white paint in two zones. In the top zone BIBE,
the leters separated by dents, in each of which a
central large dot and an arc of small dots; in the
lower zone verticals lines between the dents and
two large dots on both sides of the vertical; h
20.3. Künzl 16.0. 16 Brown-marbled double-handled jug, h 20. Gellep 71. On it was stopper OO
stray 194 of type Nijmegen 82; this stopper was
later erroneously placed on jug OO stray 193.
These numbers could not be redressed ater all
numbers had been given.
One isolated sarcophagus was found intact
some 2 km S of Ulpia Noviomagus and some
1250 m S of its cemetery (Brunsting 1937):
‘the grave of a magistrate of Ulpia Noviomagus
near his suburban villa?’ (Van Buchem 1951, 8):
Oude Graafseweg near Wolfuilseweg, 20 October 1950: ind of an intact inhumation with
grave goods in a tufa sarcophagus, during digging for an electricity cable; transported to Rijksmuseum G.M. Kam, where the contents were
excavated (Van Buchem 1951; Daniëls/Brunsting
1955, 57-8).
17 Tufa sarcophagus
Dimensions: l 275-280, w 76-80, h 50-62; fragments of a lid; place for the head somewhat
higher than the rest of the botom
Orientation: 270°
Bone material: Complete skull, parts of the vertebral column, pelvis, arms, femora, right tibia; sex
unknown, age not higher than 40
Position of grave-goods/dress accessories

5 Find catalogue of the excavations
in cemetery B
The Late Roman cemetery of Nijmegen Inner City,
indicated here with the leter B (for Dutch Binnenstad = inner city), is too large for one map to have
legible grave numbers. Therefore, Brunsting’s division into four areas and one isolated grave has
been followed: (apart from one isolated grave on
the St Jozephhof, erroneously called Kelkensbos
in the documentation) the northwest area D,
northeast area LN, the central area G, the southeast area M. These leters are abbreviations of
one name of a building and three street names,
and are explained in short introductions to each
area in the catalogue. All grave numbers, however,
are preceded by the capital B:
Area D:
Area LN:
Area G:

384 graves

Although the utmost care has been given to identifying every burial by a numbered grave, incertainties could not be completely eliminated in
thirteen cases, to be found under numbers B 33, B
211, B 243, B 251, B 279, B 299, B 323, B 428, B 572,
B 582, B 583, B 639, and B 750.
Area D: graves B 1 - B 176 (Figs. 8-10)
Brunsting called this area D ater the Dominican
church with cloister, known as Broerkerk, demolished 1950-51, apparently because of instability after the 1944 bombardment. The ROB has later
numbered his excavation trenches D 1-14.
The old excavations in this area are given in the
table below. Preliminary reports, generally very
short indications of place and number of graves,
appeared in Dutch in the following publications.

The complex of graves B 19-20-21-176-25-2627-28
The stratigraphy of this complex is partly uncertain and can be discussed in three small chapters: what is certain, interpretation, and the results.
This much is certain: 1. B 27 is earlier than two graves that cut through it, B 26 and B 28. 2. The
skeleton of B 20 is under that of B 21. 3. Graves B
20 and B 21 are together in one trench and have
the same orientation. 4. Graves B 25 and B 26
are together in one trench and have the same
orientation. 5. B 26 cuts through an earlier discoloration to its E. 6. The diferent orientations
of the coin of B 25 and the niche containing
grave goods to the N of the feet is strange if they
belong to the same grave. 7. The botom of grave B 25 and the niche to its N is at the same level. 8. No boundary was found between the coin
of B 25 and the niche to its N. 9. No boundaries
have been found between the trench of B 20-B
21 with the neighbouring trenches: B 19 on the
SW, B 25-B 26 on the NE.
Interpretation: 10. There may have been an earlier
grave, of which the discoloration E of B 26 and
the niche to the N of B 25 would then have been
parts. 11. The persons in B 20 and B 21 were buried at the same funeral, their coins being put
one on top of the other. 12. The trenches of B
20-B 21 and of B 27, having the same orientation
and being in a direct line, are near-contemporaneous. 13. The possibly earlier grave of remark 10 has the same orientation as B 20-B 21
and B 27 and is near-contemporaneous with
these. 14. The persons in B 25 and B 26 were
buried at the same funeral; their grave was cut
through the earlier grave but let its niche intact,
through B 27 and through the NE corner of B
20-B 21. 13. It is improbable that the earlier
graves were visibly marked on the surface when
the trench of graves B 25-B 26 was dug. 14. B 19
is not a niche of the trench of B 20-B 21.
The results: The stratigraphy is, graphically rendered:
Later level: (B 25 + B 26) (B 28)
Earliest level: (B 20+B 21) (earlier grave) (B 27)
Uncertain level: (B 19)
The excavator, H. Brunsting, hints at the existence of this earlier grave twice: in his list of
inds in the niche, and with thin analytic pencil
lines drawn on his tracing of the ield drawing.
He did not, however, draw the conclusion and so
did not give a number to the grave.
The earlier grave is called B 176 here: its remains
are the discoloration E of B 26 and the niche N of
B 25. This high number has been given, as this
analysis took place ater several painstaking and
time-consuming renumberings of Brunsting’s
grave numbers, the highest number of the
graves in Area D then being B 175.

Skeletal material: Though no bone from this grave
is recorded, Lengyel has this grave in his list of
bone
analyses. See Ch. 7, section Analyses by Dr I.A.

Position of grave goods/dress accessories
1-7 were as one group in a niche oriented differently to the coin (103° as opposed to 90°; of
an earlier grave, destroyed when B 25 was dug)
but with the same base level; it was to the right
of the feet. 1 formed the SW of this group; then,
clockwise: 3, 2 (in an oblique position), 7, 5 with
6 lying upside down upon it as a lid, and 4 lying
on its side. 5 contained the meal 5a-b.
Remarks: The existence of this earlier grave is the
outcome of the above discussion of the complex
B 19-20-21-176-25-26-27-28: see there.
Potery inds 1-5 are all kiln wasters or at least
50
—
second choice quality; they were possibly especially bought for the funeral. This is strange, as
all potery was imported and kiln wasters usually
ended upon the reject heap near the kiln.

Skeletal material: femora, let humerus
Remark: This grave is part of the complex of graves B 19-20-21-176-25-26-27-28. In the above
discussion of this complex, it was concluded that
B 25 and B 26, which are lying in the same grave,
were buried at the same time, their later grave
destroying the coin and bones of the earlier
grave B 176.
Stratigraphical date: AD 301-?

Position of grave goods/dress accessories
1 immediately to the E of the head.
Remarks: This grave is part of the complex of graves B 19-20-21-176-25-26-27-28. In the above
discussion of this complex, it was remarked that
B 25 and B 26, which are lying in the same grave,
were buried at the same time, the later grave
destroying the coin and bones of the earlier
grave B 176 and cuting B 27.
Inventory
1 The remains of a wooden chest, consisting of
the bronze sheet mountings of the front side
(decorative mountings, lock mounting), and iron
reinforcements on the back corners. Dimensions
taken in situ: l 38, w 36, h 28. No traces of contents of the chest. The mountings were formerly
reconstructed on a plaster model in the museum, on the basis of a full scale drawing made
during the excavation. The reconstruction in
Buschhausen 1971 (number A 24, p 57, A Tafel 25;
refers to Van Doorselaer 1964, 307 and 304), who
did not know of this drawing, is incorrect; moreover, his drawing is a mirror image, as appears
from the decoration of the round mountings.
In 2002, a new reconstruction of the chest was
made with the use of synthetic resin (see photo).
The following description gives the functional
mountings irst, and then the decorative ones.
Six bent lozenge-shaped iron mountings reinforce the back corners of the chest. Eight corner
mountings of bronze sheet are placed on the
front in such a way, that square ields containing
concentric circles and ive decorative nails decorate the front. The top ones let and right are on
the front of the lid. A tongue-shaped band with
a decoration of concentric circles and knobs on
its edges joins the front and the underside in the
middle. The rectangular keyhole plate, whose
central hole is surrounded by concentric circles,
51
—
is on the middle of the top of the front. Above it,
a corresponding angled plate joins the front and
the top of the lid; a ring on it facilitated liting
the lid. There are three pentagonal and four
round decorative mountings on the front. The
pentagonal ones each have a rosete with a
frontal human head in its middle; the round
ones have a winged Amor standing to the right
facing a tree. On the front of the lid, there are
two such round plates between the corner
mountings and the plate with the ring. The two
others are in corresponding places near the
base. The reconstruction has four pentagonal
mountings (instead of the three actually found)
and these are placed in two rows around the
keyhole plate.
Date: AD 301-367.

Coin: 150x45 (oak wood, nails); 270°
Skeletal material: skull, femur (l. 40 cm), unspeciied parts (length skeleton given as 145 cm)
Remark: Grave B 33 was excavated by Brunsting
in 1949 under excavation number D 27. If the
digitised ield drawings made by the ROB are
correct (and they can proven to be not corrrect in
the cases of the positions of excavation trenches
131 and 142, where graves with inds excavated
by Bloemers are at exactly the same spot as
graves excavated earlier by Brunsting), then Bloemers excavated a grave without grave goods
52
—
on exactly the same spot in 1978 under excavation number 141/21=XIX. It has been decided
to count these two graves as one.
B 34
Grave: >35x90; 103°/283°; NAP surface 28.98,

Remark: Two possibilities to explain the presence
of the bones 4a beside the dishes: the meat was
eaten by someone who atended the funeral; or
the piece(s) of meat slid of when the grave was
illed. As both dishes are deep, both possibilities
are equally improbable. Unfortunately, the
bones 4a have not been examined and cannot
now be found in the museum storeroom.

Position of grave goods/dress accessories
Outside the coin: jug 4 to the let of the head,
cooking-pot 5 near the foot-end corner. All other
inds in the coin: coin 9 on the middle of the
body, botle 7 near the let lower leg, soles 11
and 12 near (on?) the feet, jug 3 near the let
foot, mortarium 1 upside down in the corner of
the coin near the right foot, jug 6 near the right
foot; together, to the right of the knees: small
coin 10, mirror 13, pins 14 and anointing slab 15
and jug 2. In unknown position: iron knife 8.
Intrusion: Iron tweezers whose two blades end in
a lancet shape and are welded together there;
both legs lack their ends. L >7, w 0.4-1. This object clearly is a present-day intrusion: it is a
present-day shape; other tweezers in these graves are of a single piece of bronze; they belong
in male burials, not in female ones, as this grave
undoubtedly is, with its pins, mirror, and anointing slab. It is however documented for the sake
of completeness.

Position of grave goods/dress accessories
According to one drawing (for the other one, see
remarks below): 1-3 on the waist: from right to
56
—
let, i.e. from E to W, buckle (part of 1) with its
(now mostly missing) tongue to the right, tweezers 3, strap end (part of 1), large belt stifener
(part of 1), axe 2, its edge to the let and its convex part to the top, visibly lying on another large
belt stifener (part of 1); underneath it two other
large belt stifeners. 4 in the jaw.
Intrusion: sherd of grey coarse (jug?), splinter of
brownish potery, splinter of terra sigillata, not
necessarily fourth-century.
Remarks: Grave disturbed just beyond the waist.
Ypey (1969 and 1980) published the belt set (extensively) and the grave (summarily). Böhme
(1974, 285, Taf. 84, 11-22) summarily published
the grave. Ypey’s comment in 1980 is: ‘It concerns the inhumation of a Germanic warrior of
the irst half of the ith century, whose so-called
simple belt set imitates the large Kerbschnit sets
of the fourth century. Possible further grave
goods of this S-N grave got lost when the grave
was disturbed in medieval times. The warrior
belonged to a larger Germanic population group
that lived and served in the garrison of Noviomagus (Nijmegen) in late antiquity.’
There are two versions of detailed grave drawings in ink, and it cannot be made out which one
is correct, the more so as both seem to contain
errors: the omission of parts in the irst version,
and improbable positions of some parts in the
second one. The irst version, shown by Ypey
(1969, 114, Abb. 17) does not show all parts of
belt set 1, but only parts 1b, 1c, and 1d; the other
ones may then have been found at a deeper level.
The second version shows, from right to let, i.e.
from E to W: tweezers 3, strap end 1c pointing E,
decorative fastening 1a, buckle 1b pointing W i.e.
away from the decorative fastening, one of the
long belt stifeners 1d, and axe 2.
The four belt stifeners 1d around the axe were
originally (in the two documentations present)
taken for parts of a casing for the axe.
For coin 4, the Koninklijk Penningkabinet sent in
the following unexpected identiication in 1964:
Antoninus Pius (137-161), denarius 154/5, portrait
of M. Aurelius, cf RIC 463b. The excavator H.
Brunsting decided that this could not be the
right one, as he had notes on a decayed small
bronze fourth-century coin, and he decided to
remove the coin from the cemetery series. The
presence of a second-century denarius is not improbable in itself: cf the ith-century grave B
465 with a second-century denarius in the
mouth.
Inventory
1 Late Roman/early Frankish bronze belt set,
type Ypey BB1 = Sommer series 2, variant 1,
shape c.
1a Two end plates, l 11.4, w 2.0-2.2, both consisting of a rectangular strip with a bevelled edge
and a ribbed tube of the same length slid onto
the opposite long side. The reverse of one of
these, recognisable by the three belt rivets
protruding there, had been used earlier as the
front side, as appears from Kerbschnit decoration
of eight-armed crosses, squares with one diagonal and diamonds within squares. The rivets
protrude 0.2 and could hold one layer of leather.
1b The buckle with ixed plate can hold a belt of
4 cm width. Wear marks on the underside of its
buckle frame show that it rested partly on the
let end plate.
1c Undecorated lancet-shaped strap end with
bevelled edge, l 5.4, w 3.4 cm, with two rivets
and a slit for the belt end that has a width of 2.5
cm.
1d Four large belt stifeners, l 11.1, w 1.2-1.4, with
edges chamfered except at the three rivet positions; double horizontal grooves above and under
the rivets; small horizontal grooves let and right
of these rivets. The rivets still present protrude
for 0.2 and are apparently meant for one layer of
leather.
1e Two narrow undecorated belt stifeners of
half length with edges chamfered except at the
three rivets positions; l 5.7, w 0.8. On the back
side of one of these, an incomplete Kerbschnit
motif shows that it was clipped from a larger
piece for reuse. The rivets still present protrude
for 0.4 and are meant for two layers of leather.
1f One belt stifener of quarter length l 2.7, w 0.7
cm, decorated in the same way as the large 1d
57
—
ones. The rivets still present protrude for 0.4 and
are meant for two layers of leather.
The reconstruction of the belt when it was worn
is as follows. It consisted of a main belt, w 11 cm,
and a subsidiary one of varying widths. The main
belt had a decorative fastening consisting of the
two end plates 1a, the tubes lying next to one
another. The actual fastening was done with the
subsidiary belt, which was fastened to inside of
the main belt near the right-hand end plate with
the help of the quarter and half-length belt stifeners 1e and 1f. The width of the subsidiary belt
near its beginning, under 1f, was 2.7 cm; then,
underneath the half-length belt stifeners 1e, 5.7
cm; then, the end part with holes for the buckle,
4 cm. The opening of the buckle 1b corresponded with a hole in the main belt where the buckle
was riveted in such a way, that the buckle frame
partly rested on the let-hand end plate. The
ixed plate of the buckle held this end plate in its
place. The subsidiary belt was drawn behind the
decorative fastening and emerged through the
hole corresponding with the buckle bow. The
end of the subsidiary belt with tongue 1c hung
vertically from the buckle tongue. The four large
belt stifeners 1d were on the back of the main
belt, with intervals of 8 cm. The axe 4 and
tweezers 3 were worn on the belt and fastened
there with leather and/or textile: tweezers 3
above the right leg, axe 4 above the let, with its
blade on the main belt and its edge outward, i.e.
to the let.
(The reconstruction drawing of the comparable
belt from Rhenen grave 842 in Bloemers et al.
1981, 117 is incorrect. The draughtsman did not
read (correctly?) the text to Ypey 1969, 108-109,
Abb. 13 and shows the subsidiary belt emerging
between the two end plates, and so he has to
put the buckle frame beside the let-hand end
plate instead of partly on top of it, as the accompanying photograph of the actual bronze parts
shows.)
2 Iron axe, curved, l 16.2 cm, width of back side
4.8, with many textile remains on it.
3 Bronze tweezers, l 4.5, bent from one strip of
bronze, with an eyelet at its top and bent-in
ends; one end broken of.
4 Coin, small bronze of fourth-century type, almost completely decayed when excavated and
now missing. See, however, the remarks above.

Coin: 80x30 cm, nails; 83°/263°
Remark: The depth of this grave is enigmatic. If
its botom level is, as recorded, 22.75 +NAP, and
the street level above it is indeed only 90 higher,
as recorded on the excavation drawing, then
that street level would be 23.65 +NAP, i.e. some
four metres below the nearest recorded value.
The other possibility would make the grave improbably deep. Similar considerations hold for
all graves in excavation trench 8, where no street
level has been recorded.

Remark: In the Explanatory notes to the ind catalogue, it is argued that the Roman ground level
was 80 cm under the present-day street level. B
85 is the irst grave to be listed of those found
within the Broerkerk. No loor levels were recorded by the excavator for this demolished church,
whereas he did take heights on the stumps of
the pillars, varying from 27.90 m to 28.56 m
+NAP. Brunsting (1952, 10) argues that the loor
level was raised by 50 cm since the church was
completed in the 14th century. The only height
of a surface (taken in the E end of the N aisle),
28.28 m +NAP, is therefore taken as the presentday street level for the entire church, and so the
Roman ield level is reconstructed 80 cm plus 50
cm lower, at 26.98 +NAP.

Seemingly carefully spread along the longitudinal axis of the grave, from W to E: 2, 5, 3, 6 in the

Remarks: The W group of inds are at the W end
of the cremation remains. 4 and 5 show that this

—
is a soldier’s burial: melon beads were also used
as soldiers’ amulets and around the necks of
military horses (Theune in: Pirling-Siepen 2006,
568). The shears 2 it in with a remark of PirlingSiepen (2006, 417-8) that all but one Gellep examples were found in cremation graves that differ from what is usual, e.g. because they were
cremations in the midst of inhumations.
It is diicult to date this grave. Shears and knives
were used throughout the period of use of the
Nijmegen cemeteries. The melon bead 4, the
hinge ibula 5 and Caligula’s dupondius are
clearly from earlier centuries; giving irst-century
coins is frequent in the Nijmegen Late Roman
cemeteries. So the grave does belong to the
cemetery (and it was not already there before
the irst graves were dug). If the two iron keys 7
have anything to do with wooden chests, they
may be dated to IVAB. The cremation and the
date of ibula 5 show that this is one of the earliest graves of the cemetery.

B 223
Grave: 165x>25; 111°/291°; NAP surface 27.99,

Skeletal material: Skull
Remark: This grave is marked on the plans of two
level drawings, which are contradictory on the
point of stratigraphy. On level 2, grave B 223
covers (and so is later than) the complex B 223224-225, visible on level drawing 3; where it in
its turn is cut in half by (and so is earlier than) B
224. The problem is aggravated there by NAP-indications of tops and botoms of these three
graves, where the tops are lower than the bot-
toms. As a solution, I take the large feature visible on level drawing 2 to be the discoloration of
all these three graves together. The measurements given above are those of level 3.

Remark: This child’s grave is earlier than the

preservation of the skull, however, suggest that
the child lived long enough to learn to drink
from a beaker and eat from a bowl. The moto

height of lid 6, with iron hinges and bronze sheet
mountings. On the centre of the front of the lid,
bronze sheet mounting; immediately below it,
on the front of the chest itself, similar mounting
with keyhole. Two continuous corner mountings
with three projecting and two reentrant rectangles; above them, on the corners of the lid, corner mountings corresponding to the projecting
rectangles. These corner mountings on the lid
and the projecting rectangles are decorated
along their vertical edges with seven clipped-out
half-circles each, and behind each two small
punched holes. Iron corner reinforcements on
the back corners of the lid; two long iron hinges
preserved in corroded state: lat iron strips,
mounted on the top of the lid (according to the
drawing of the entire complex excavated under
Brunsting’s direction), with two iron nails each, l
9-13.2, w 2-2.2. The strips each have a hole at
the end, through which goes the eye of another
iron strip, in both cases now broken of. It remains unclear how such a hinge could work
when it was at the top of a lid 6 cm high.

Coin series 1-55 and small objects 58-73 were
located on the vanished right arm. Organic inds
69a and 69b have been preserved by their contact with bronze object 69. At the height of the
navel, possibly in a hand, was one of the 55 coins
(not noted which one!). Beaker 56 in the coin,
standing to the right of the lower legs; beaker 57
in the coin, standing to their let.
Remarks: Later than B 297, which it cuts. The
grave, under its excavation number (Lange) Nieuwstraat 88, has atracted atention because of its
coin series and mysterious small objects: see Zadoks-Josephus Jita 1961 (coin list); Gorecki 1975,
399-401, no. 271 (coin list with some diferent
identiications); Steures 2004a, 2004b. In the
later article and in the present typology, the
grave is interpreted as that of a female Sabazios
worshipper from Cologne. The grave is dated by
its latest coin to the year AD 319. there were 25
coins of the years 313-318 and only one of 319. In
order to retain Gorecki’s numbers, the coins are
treated irst, in the order he treats them. The
identiications, however, are by R.W. Reijnen.
This causes the presentation of the series not to
be entirely chronological anymore. For that reason, the same data are given in a diferent order
in Coin list 2: in chronological order ater their
latest minting dates.

1 A sole of a shoe lying on its side; Groenmanvan Waateringe (1967, 145) describes it as follows.
‘In Nijmegen, 1957, a sole of a shoe (length 29.5
cm) was found underneath a fourth-century
grave. The leather itself had not been preserved,
and the hobnails are mainly kept together by
corrosion: a marginal row along the entire sole;
under the forefoot a second marginal row, a lozenge-shape and three straight rows; under the
heel two long rows and and a short one.’ (Transl.

Position of grave goods/dress accessories
Potery 1, 2 and 4 and glass bowl 5 stood on the
coin in a row above the lower legs: from top
down 1, 3, 2 probably containing 5. As the lid of
the coin collapsed, they fell pell-mell into the
coin. Cooking-pot 3 was found standing in the
SE corner of the coin, but as it stood there in
the line 1-3-2-4, it may have fallen of the lid as
well.
Pin 6 was lying horizontally with its tip above the
skull and its head to the right. Pin 7 was lying
along the right temple, its pin up and its head at
the height of the jaw.
Fibula 8 was lying under the jaw, its pin upwards.
Fibula 13, with beads 14 upon it, was lying halfway between the skull and the right shoulder, its
pin pointing upwards. The at least 234 beads 9
(the drawing shows 282 of them), when stringed
111
—
together some 50 cm long, were found under
ibula 8 and against, under and at the inside of
the jaw. As the same kind of beads (14) were
found on ibula 13, the reconstruction in the drawing of B 465.9 as a necklace is probably wrong:
see below, The pectoral in B 465.
Coin 10 was in the mouth. Fibula 11 was lying on
the middle of the breast, its foot pointing to the
let shoulder. Object 12 was found standing
against the right temple. Triple ring 16 was on
the vanished right elbow, buckle 17 near it, and
head of stave 18 to the right of the vanished
right forearm. Near the vanished let hand were
lying objects 19-22. Shears 23 were lying beyond
the vanished feet, and pendants 25 just beyond
23, on top of one another, on the axis of the cofin. Next to them, under the vanished let foot,
beads 24, which were not found in the museum
depot.
Textile remains were found next to 5, 6, 7
(black), 12, 17, 20, and 24. They are given the
numbers 5A etc. below. Textile fragment was
found near glass beaker 5 or more probably next
to shears 23.
The pectoral in B 465
Mrs Wil van der Sluijs suggested to me that ibulae 8 on the let and 13 on the right shoulder together with beads 9 and 14 could have formed a
gold-coloured pectoral of parallel strings of
beads, the ibulae closing a peplos-like garment.
Böhme (1974, 160-1, ig. 53) already reconstructed for grave B 465 such a pectoral of more simple form, with one string of beads; ibula 11, on
the middle of the breast, is not part of his reconstructed pectoral. His igure shows 25 contours
of Germanic ladies, ten of which with such
combinations of ibulae and beads to pectorals:
four pectorals with one string of beads, four with
two, and two with tree strings. The igure also
shows seven contours with bead necklaces, one
of which in combination with a three-string pectoral (Cortrat grave 26).
The total length of the 234 or 282 small beads of
9 and 14 in B 465 allows for the following reconstruction, made by Mrs Van der Sluijs. A three-
string pectoral, the two upper strings consisting
of small beads, the lower one of the bronze wire
pendants with separating oblong beads, and, in
the centre, the lunula, lanked by two groups of
three Überfang beads and two groups of coloured
beads (one white, two green and two red on one
side, a white and three black ones at the other);
this lower string is illed out with small beads.
There are an emerald green and a white bead
near ibula 8 at the end of each string. All beads
of this pectoral have been listed under ind
number B 465.9.
Intrusion: Rim sherd of a fourth-century terra
sigillata bowl.
Remarks: This grave was summarily published by
H.W. Böhme, 1974, 285, Taf. 85, under a transformation of its original excavation number LN
46, as 46 Nieuwstraat. Ypey (1980, 155-157) also
summarily published it as Nieuwstraat 46, with
new drawings, made ater the cleaning and restoration of many inds, adding the following
comment: ‘The rich furnishing of the 12-14 year
old girl from Nijmegen with ornaments, instruments and vessels is not unusual for Germanic
children’s graves of the fourth and ith century.
The immature girl belonged to a Germanic family, whose male members served in the Roman
army as personnel of the Late Roman garrison of
Noviomagus.’ (Transl. D.St.) The excavation
number was later changed to LN 246 (there already was a LN 46).
Steures 2002b, a spin-of of the present typology, discusses pendants 25 and interprets the
grave as that of a ith-century Germanic priestess of the pole idol shown on the pendants.
Most types give a wide date AD 401-450, but
three types narrow it down to the middle of the
ith century: apart from the guilt miniature
beads 9 and 14, there are dish ibula 13 of type
Rhenen (see immediately below; Böhme 1974,
25, Fig. 8) and buckle 17. Parallels of both later
types are to be found in Rhenen grave 356, dated to the middle of the ith century (Böhme
1974, 39, 268, Taf. 60). Miniature beads 9 and 14
are also mid ith century (Wil van der Sluijs,
pers.com.).

It must be remarked that this very late grave
with its Germanic long pins contains Roman pottery and glass vessels and so a meal: a Roman
rite that had been discontinued for some decades and is for one time resumed for a Germanic
lady.

22 ?Belt fastening for a textile belt, consisting of
two rings lying against one another, d 3.8: a
bronze ring round in section, and an iron one,
square. The interpretation is uncertain, as no
textile remains cling to it, and so many others
were found in this grave.
23 Iron shears, l 21.5, max w 5.5. Half an iron
ring, d 4, clung to its tip: a fastening intended to
prevent the scissors from opening unintentionally?

ones with ire-rounded ends, h. a small ?bronze
rod with a thread irregularly wound around it.

Known as the sarcophagus of the Grutberg. This
sarcophagus was removed from the site in July
1957 and put to dry in Museum G.M. Kam, where
it was opened in the presence of many archaeologists and authorities on October 14 of that
year. In the evening of that day, H. Brunsting
wrote a report of his indings, from which we
quote:
“A thin sandy layer became visible, thicker at
head and foot-ends; the top of the skull protruded from it on the W side. A bronze pin with
head was seen on it at irst inspection. Around it,
undulating remains, either hair or the folds of a
textile cap. At second inspection, these had already fallen down on the sand from which they
irst protruded. (Textile remains lying lat on the
skull were seen later [but could not be examined].) The skull was hardly inspected then. A
white talcum-like substance lying on it might
have been the remains of an unguent.”
Years later, he wrote the following note:
“On the middle of the forehead there was a
small cone-like light grey heap with a more or
less sharp point, base c.2.5, h c.1.5, (all this remembered years later..), which made me think
of a semi-liquid substance poured from a container or pressed from something like a tube.
Naturally, this reminds one of an unction put on
the forehead and not touched or moved since
then. Probably put there ater death or total loss
of consciousness: an anointing of the dying or
dead child? As it was tried to lit this heap, it fell
to dust, and we did not manage to take a sample
The sarcophagus of the Grutberg, B 620, is cleaned by a
ield technician.
of it. Its last remains spread out evenly.” (Transl.
D.St.)
Coins 1-6 were later stolen from the Museum
Kam. Similar coins now in the sarcophagus in
the museum exhibition probably come from the
Kam coin collection in the museum.

13 Earrings of gold wire with eyelet. The one at
the let ear was broken and is not shown here.
The point of the wire was put through the eyelet
and bent into a hook: the earrings were
permanently worn. D earring 1.6, d wire 0.1.
14 Tutulus ibula, built from a bronze base-plate,
under which bronze pin with ive spirals on each
side of it, and a catchplate; with central axis riveted onto it. The axis is surrounded by a small
bronze ring at half height. Surviving body: the
lower concave silver ring and the silver top illed
with lead. Further rings in between have vanished and were probably made of organic material. H from base-plate to top 3; lower ring h 0.9,
d 2.6-3.5; top h 0.95. Textile remains: see below.
15 Four tambourine sticks. The sticks are made
from pear or apple wood, still favourite materi-
128
—
als for making musical instruments such as
recorders, because these materials are easily
worked (identiication: Pauline van Rijn, BIAX).
The following description is based on the reconstruction drawing by the late J. Ypey; the fact
that it is correct was borne out by observations
made by the author on the preserved fragments,
before two tambourine sticks were restored in
1998-1999. Length 37.3 cm, diameter 3.5. A
symmetrically proiled middle part serves as a
handle. Two rectangular apertures, 1.9 x 8.4,
have been cut out on both sides of this handle.
Somewhat beyond the middle of each hole, at
6.3 from each end of the stick, are two heavy
bronze bowl-shaped ratles, their rims laring in
opposite directions (d 4.2-4.7, h 0.75-0.9) on a
transverse iron rod (l 3.9, d 0.4) with hammered
ends securing the rod. At both ends of each aperture are bronze sheet bands whose ends overlap 1 cm, each kept in place by one bronze nail;
width near the handle 1.2, near the ends 1.7 cm.
So there are four bands per tambourine stick.
There are 13 fragments of wood that preserve
the complete diameter of the wood and have or
have had bronze sheet bands, plus two fragments of such places. So the (minimum) number
of tambourine sticks from the sarcophagus of
the Grutberg is four. The number of preserved
ratles, six, i.e. three pairs, is strange, as there
must have been eight pairs to four tambourine
sticks. Thickness and weight of the ratles, 100
grams per pair of ratles, precludes the possibility that the missing ones would have corroded
away completely: the tambourine sticks appear
to have been intentionally destroyed before
their remains were put in the foot-end of the
sarcophagus. This was conirmed by the position
of broken pieces of the sticks, and the position
of one of the bronze sheet bands, no. 8, near the
knees.
There are no indications that the tambourine
sticks would have been connected to one another. The situation sketch reproduced here erroneously shows piece b inserted into piece b1: the
photo from which it was traced shows them not
to be connected. Four replicas are in Museum
Het Valkhof, three of which by the late J. Ypey.
Two tambourine sticks were restored (in a heavily warped state) 1998-1999.
16 Bone comb in three layers with triangular grip
decorated with dot-and-circles along its edges;
teeth all gone. Preserved l 7, h 3. Restored 19981999.
17 Mirror: convex transparent colourless mirror
glass with remains of a relecting metal layer on
its concave back side in a lead or tin frame. This
frame was largely decayed and showed ive dotand-circles. It was restored for the second time
1998-1999. Corresponding with the description
in Lloyd-Morgan 1981, 106: she reconstructs
eight dot-and-circles within a garland of lowers
in relief. The back side of the frame is lat.
18 Beads:
8 heart or almond-shaped beads, slightly
transparent light greyish blue, w 0.5, d 0.4, h 0.8,
Riha 2947fVar;
1 roller or cylinder-shaped bead, slightly transparent jade green, d 0.4, h 0.3, Riha 2826fVar.
19 Fragment of a bronze ringlet.
20 Small bronze knob.
Description of the textile remains
At the fastening of bracelet 7: tabby-weave, z/z,
c.16x11 threads per cm2. Vegetable ibre, probably linen.
At bracelets 9: three minuscule textile fragments, numbered Wa, Wb, Wc. Wa is tabbyweave, c.20x25 threads per cm2, probably z/z.
Wb and Wc are probably fragments of one piece
of cloth: tabby-weave, c.11x13 threads per cm2,
z/z.
At tutulus ibula 14: three layers of tabby-weave,
c.24x26-30 threads per cm2, probably warp and
wet respectively. Vegetable ibre, probably linen. One of the fragments possibly near a selvedge: the supposed wet is doubled there. A
small fragment in tabby-weave, c.16xc.24
threads per cm2, probably warp (the coarser
threads) and wet (the iner ones) respectively.
At the tambourine sticks 15: on a bronze sheet
band, a fragment of tabby-weave, c.10x8 threads
per cm2, s/s.

3 Botom with foot-ring of a small terra sigillata
shape, probably Drag. 27 = Gellep 248, with
stamp OMOM, preserved d 5.5; probably used
upside down as a small bowl. B.R. Hartley wrote
in a leter of 28-6-1971:
“OMOM: the longer (original) version of a stamp
which became )MOM. It occurs at La Graufesenque. The shorter version is known from Flavian foundations at Chester and York, and in the
Nijmegen fortress (2). The longer version is on
Riterling 8 at Trier, but otherwise is always on
form 27.» Polak (2000, 274 no. M100) dates this

Remarks: Later than B 691, which its cuts; earlier
than B 689, which cuts it. The angle between the
bones of the upper and lower body (108° instead
of 180°) cannot be due to scoliosis, which creates
an S-curve in the vertebral column. It is as if this
lady was not lied to rest sotly. She is the only
person in Roman Nijmegen who can be proven
to have been a Christian: she proclaims so, by
wearing an ornament with a christogram. Her
grave does not have the supposed Christian
orientation of 270°, i.e. she does not ly with her
head to the W. See, in Chapter 13, Interpretation,
the section W-E graves: a Christian orientation?
Inventory
1-2 Two silver pins with polyhedral heads (with
fourteen planes: cubes from which the eight corners have been removed), l 6.2 and 6.3.

and inwards. Right hooks missing. On the face (h
1.6, w 1.4) an incised Christogram (ligature of X
and P) within a square. The christogram stands
when the hooks are on the let and right. Literature: Steures 2004a with further bibliography.
Its condition is steadily deteriorating and its upper right corner was broken of recently, as appears from the comparison of the photos in
Brunsting (1969, 24), Bloemers et al. (1981, 120:
still as in 1969), Willems (1990, 84: upper right
stump of hook then broken of) and Willems et

Position of grave goods/dress accessories
Grave goods in the foot-end of the coin, all
standing upright, in two rows. The row near the
right foot (S), counted towards the foot-end,
consists of the glass objects 3, 4 and 5. The row
near the let foot (N), of potery objects 1 and 2.
Remark: The detailed drawing of this grave shows
it to be a W-E grave, whereas Brunsting’s overall
drawing, Fig. 18, shows a dot for a skull at the E
end; similar errors in Brunsting’s overall drawing
were made for graves B 437, B 438 and B 441 in
Fig. 11. As the coin measured 120 and the space
between the top of the head and the grave
goods measured 96 cm, this must be a child’s
grave.

Chest B 701.9, double-handled jug B 701.2 and glass jug B
701.8 in situ.
Pin 10 was found under the skull. All other artifacts were in a niche to the right (N) of the waist,
probably at the same height as the botom of
the grave (altitude not documented). From let
to right (W to E): glass bowl 5, half under it to the
E glass beaker 4, and behind them (N) dish 3;
chest 9, containing balsamarium 6, pin 11 and
bracelets 12 and 13; to its right (E) jug 2, covered
by stone 7, to the right behind it (NE) beaker 1; to
the right (E) of jug 2, glass jug 8.
Remark: Three rectangular bronze mountings on
chest 9, to be described below, are so far the
earliest Christian narrative representations within Dutch frontiers. See Steures 2004a.

8 Small glass jug Isings 88c with handle and
glass trail applied at two places: on the lower
part of the body up to the largest diameter, and
higher part of the neck up to the underside of
the lip (restored), h 12.7.
9 Wooden chest, w 38 x d 24(?) x h 27 with iron
hinges and lock with turnkey, and bronze sheet
mountings on its front. On a photograph, published already in Fasti arch. 7 (1954) 436 under
number 5621 with igure 129, the entire front of
the chest with bronze sheet mountings is seen,
with two horizontal cracks between three
planks. The front of the chest was recovered as a
whole, but only the top plank with the keyhole
plate was preserved; the rest of the wood has
been lost. Grooves chiseled in the back of the
preserved plank show that there was an inner
compartment top right, 5.8 wide and 4 cm high.
The lower part and the front of the lid were irst
supplemented in new wood, with slips of paper
in the shapes of the bronze sheet mountings pasted onto it, and the actual remains upon them.
In 2001, the chest was restored and reconstructed by Jo Kempkens. Photographs ater reconstruction: Swinkels/Koster 2005, 77; Demandt/Engemann 2007, 289 ig. 10; Grüßinger et
al. 2007, II.4.43.
Six iron plates belonging to the chest, l 9-13.2, w
2-2.2, one with a hinge eyelet atached, and the
internal iron lock plate (h 10, w at top 7, at bottom 5) were subsequently found in the museum
depot. The plate with hinge has two nail holes
and, in its rounded top, a hinge hole, in which
the ring end of the other hinge plate is preserved: a surprisingly crude hinge for this otherwise ine chest.
The iron lock consists of a strip hanging from the
inside of the front of the lid and an internal lock
plate nailed onto the wood and curved in such a
way that the iron strip could slide between it and
the wood. A square hole in the lock plate has an
upstanding bronze pin at the botom right corner, which would snap into a corresponding hole
in the strip. The (missing) key conceivably draws
the strip towards the wood and away from the
bronze pin, thus allowing the chest to open.
The description of the chest and its bronze sheet
mountings in Buschhausen (1971) 106, under
number A 52 is incomplete and not entirely correct.
The mountings are applied in a symmetrical pattern. Six corner plates are meant to create the
139
—
impression that they join front and sides (no
nails on the short sides): two on the corners of
the lid, four on the corners of the front. The edges pointing inwards are notched with small triangles (ive on the lid, six on the chest) and small
rectangles. Behind each triangle, a keyholeshaped hole has been cut out. Top and botom
edges of the corner plates have punched diagonal crosses. Each corner plate is nailed onto the
front with ive bronze nails: one in the centre of
an ornament of concentric circles (three circles
on the lid, four on the chest) and one in each
corner. On the middle of the top of the front is
the keyhole plate, decorated in the same way
and fastened with four bronze decorative nails
with frontal lions’ heads within beaded rims (the
one on botom let is lost). The corresponding
mounting on the front of the lid was fastened
with ive such lion’s head nails; the central one
and the one top right have been preserved. All
missing nails have been replaced by replicas.
Two narrow undecorated plates and a central
wider one (now lost, not restored) joined the underside to the front. In a zone above it, there
were ive small plates: two vertical rectangles at
the sides, three round ones in the middle, the
central one being larger. Remains of two of these
have been preserved and show relief. On the let
rectangle a veiled frontal head, the right arm
raised. The scene is that of the innocent Susanna, known from similar chests (Daniel 13, 34-35;
Buschhausen 1971, A 64, 66), although there
seems to be litle room for the two elders who
irst spied upon her and now accuse her as
Susanna stands praying. On the central round
plate a Medusa head with hair parted from a
central plait. The other two round ones are missing and have been restored as lion’s head nails.
Between the top corner plates and the keyhole
plate there are two vertical rectangular plates
(4x2.5) with Christian representations. Only the
botom half can be made out of the let one; the
outline is duplicated. It shows the naked lower
body of a man, standing on his let leg with the
foot pointing outwards; the right leg does not
carry weight and the toes of the stretched foot
touch the botom line. On both sides, there is
illegible relief; this must have shown two small
lions. The scene is that of Daniel in the lions’
den, known from similar chests (Daniel 6, 1-29;
Buschhausen 1971 A 54, 60, 61, 62, 69, 76, B 12).
The botom let corner of the right hand plate is
missing. The contours are visible, not the details:
a clothed man on the right faces let, where a
smaller standing igure within a niche is visible.
The scene is that of the raising of Lazarus, likewise known from similar chests (John 11, 1-45;
Buschhausen 1971, A 50, 51, 54, 58, 63, 64, 65,
66, 76, 87, B 14). On the front side of the lid, between the notched corner plates descibed
above, two round plates with relief and double
beaded rims, both fragmentary. The let one
shows a helmeted head to the right (Constantine?, Dea Roma?); the right one shows the
bust of a man (to the let?), the top of his oval
shield covering his (let?) shoulder, a scheme
known from Constantinian coins.
10 Silver pin, gilt lat-biconical head, l 8.4.
11 Silver pin with polyhedral head (fourteen
planes: cube the eight corners of which have
been removed), l 8.4.
12 Two fragments of a spiral-shaped bronze bracelet, possibly with eyelet, diameter unclear.
13 Bone bracelet, fragment, diameter unclear.
Date: AD 334-350.

Remark: Grave goods 2, 3 and 5, made in a
unique ware, are clearly imitations of Trier ine
dark coloured ware, the production of which
stopped in AD 355. They date the grave to the
years AD 355-360.

Fibulae 1 and 3 were found on the let shoulder,
as appears from both the grave drawing and the
overall drawing of area M, Fig. 18. It is not clear
where ornaments 2 and 4 were found. The original ind record (‘bronze fragments’) is not helpful.
Remark: Böhme 1974, 285, Taf. 86, 1-6 publishes
this grave as 51 Marienberg. (The original excavation number being M 51, it was later changed
152
—
into M 251, as there already was a grave M 51.)
His drawing of 1 (Taf. 86, 3) is too simple.

Remark: This grave, some 44 m S of the southernmost grave of area M, was found at the NE
edge of ROB-trench 104 and was the only one in
this large trench. As its scanty inds are lost, it is
uncertain whether this is a fourth-century grave.

boundary at or somewhere N of this trench.

fourth-century grave. Here too, we are apparently outside the Inner City cemetery.

bone fragment (proximal part of a let femur, 1.8
gr), secondarily introduced by mice or moles.
3b At the same depth in the jar there were bovine bone fragments: ive fragments of probably
the same rib, 3.4 gr, plus 38 unidentiiable, probably belonging fragments, 2.9 gr. Also the cow’s
rib may have got into the jar when the grave was
illed in, but it seems more likely that there was
beef with the rib fragment(s) in the food in the
jar.
4 Coarse cooking-pot Gellep 105 with narrow
botom, h 11.7, d 13.0, d botom 4.5. Large quantity of ine tempering material (from Urmitz).

have been preserved. Cranium fragmented. The
Pd2’s are erupting: age at slaughter c.10 weeks.
6b Chicken (?): articulated parts of ulna, radius
and humerus. Three large unidentiiable fragments may be parts of the hind legs. The position of the articulated bones of the wing, the
unidentiiable long bones and the ribs suggest
strongly that this is the skeleton of a complete
bird, placed in the grave intact.
7 Coarse dish Gellep 128, h 4.4, d 15.8. Large
quantity of ine tempering material (from Urmitz).
8 Fragments of the botom of a conical glass

preserved (not drawn).
11 Small ‘Germanic’ silver trumpet ibula Almgren 101, datable to the last quarter of the irst
century AD, all but complete and without wear
marks visible to the naked eye, l 2.7. The namegiving diabolo-shaped middle piece, the two
ends of which form an angle of 75°, has pearl
rims at those ends and a loose pearl thread, put
upon it; at the spring end, this pearl thread is
lost and the groove in which it was set is visible.
The high catchplate hangs from a tube of bent
silver sheet soldered onto the middle of the diabolo-end; the tube, which carries three longitudinal pearl threads, ends with two pearl rims.
The spring is joined by a small axis to an upright
silver strip on the other diabolo-end; the tension
of the spring has broken the axis near the strip.
The spring runs from the strip to the right in seven coils, runs along the top to the let, and returns in ive coils to the strip, where it ends in
the pin.
12 Small fragment of bronze sheet (not drawn).
13 Fragments of a botle of thin, all but colourless glass.

Remarks: Considering the vertical position of the
nails, the outer coin had a wooden loor. Wil
van der Sluijs (pers.com. 19 June 2008) pointed
out that there may be two very old heirlooms in
this grave: the style of gold-wire necklace 11 definitely reminds her of the end of the irst century
AD; the exceptional string 10 of 49 identical ringshaped blue glass beads (Ringperlen) only inds a
parallel in Middle and Late Iron Age.
Position of grave goods/dress accessories

11 Gold-wire necklace, l 42, gross weight 6.51 gr,
consisting of a bipartite fastening and 46 links.
An analysis of the fastening hook shows a high
alloy of gold, the gold being c.90% of its weight
and c.10% being copper. Both parts of the fastening, l 1.5 (eyelet) and 2.5 (hook) include a
symmetrical leaf of gold in the shape of the
feathers of an arrow. In the case of the hook, it is
soldered onto the leaf. The pointed end of the
hook is bent outwards in order to protect the
ingers of the woman who wore it. On the eyelet
201
—
piece, which is made of the same piece of gold
as the feathers, the eye is formed by bending the
strip backwards, squeezed in to a halfcylindrical
shape and its tip is soldered onto the feathers.
An eyelet soldered onto the feathers connects it
with the irst link. The gold-wire links, all identical, l 0.9, were bent into eyelets on both ends,
ater which the end returned around the wire in
a single coil. The wire-shaped middle parts of 16
links wear precious stones, the measurements of
which vary from 0.53x0.51 to 0.37x0.25. The precious stones have been identiied by Mr J.C.
Zwaan of the Dutch Precious Stone Laboratory:
report E 13480 of 1 April 1999.
On links 3, 7, 24 and 32, counted from the eyelet
piece, reddish brown garnets (pyrope-almandine series with grossular component), cut into
polyhedral shape with fourteen planes (cubes of
which the corners are cut away).
On links 11, 14, 18, 21, 28, 37, 41 and 44 transparent and: shining blue to greyish blue sapphires
en cabochon (polished without facetes), latish
globular to biconical (lat on links 37).
On links 25, 31, 34 and 39: blended and crackled
green emerald, tubular and of diferent lengths.
All these emeralds were worn on the same side
of the body as the fastening hook (on the right,
in the case of a right-handed person).
12 A gold-wire earring, d 2.0, of which one ends
is bent to form an eyelet, and the other to form
a hook.
13 Gold inger-ring with gem. The band, w 0.2,
makes angular transitions to the side planes.
Small grooves just under these angles. The side
planes are triangular and have four grooves, fanning out; at their top side, simple volutes. The
side planes have angular transitions to the angular oval bezel., onto which an oval case is soldered (l 1.3, w 0.95, h 0.43). Just above the middle of this case there is a twisted moulding. The
case contains a decorative stone of dark blue
glass with a raised oval surface (0.85x0.62) and
oblique sides. Engraving: person in short tunica
to the let with a stick over the let shoulder,
from which hang two unidentiiable objects.
Near the let hand a plume.

17 Round box of sapropelite a.k.a. channel coal,
a dull black fossilized organic material of hardness 2, consisting of a box part with an inner rim
that projects 0.2 and a lid with hollow moulding
closing around it. D 11.4, h when closed 3.9 (box
2.1, lid 1.8 high). Complete, restored, some
cracks; surface treated with wax ater restoration. The decoration on the outside consists of
convex and concave mouldings separated by
grooves and ribs, running concentrically on the
top and the botom. The side of the lid has two
planes separated by ribs, above which a convex
moulding forms the transition to the top. The
centre of both box and lid, both inside and out,
has a convex moulding around the impression of
the pair of compasses with which the concentric
circles were made. The insides of both box and
lid around these mouldings are lat and each
have a concentric zone some millimeters from
the rim decorated with 32 vertically hatched triangles. These zones are lanked on each side by
two grooves. The triangles in the lid point outwards (suggesting ‘up’) and have a h of 0.6; in
the box part, they point inwards (suggesting
‘down’) and are 0.5 cm high. The inner wall of
the box goes up obliquely, that of the lid
straight.

protruding inner rim of the chest.
11a Iron corner reinforcement of the lid; originally lozenge-shaped, now broken into two triangular pieces with rounded points, each 5.5
long and 3.5 wide. Both contain two nails with
wood remains. As it was found on one corner
only, it probably is a repair.
11b-g The thin undecorated bronze sheet was
applied in twice three strips (w 6 and h 4.5) on
the corners of the front side by means of three
small bronze nails each (square shat, l 1.0,
bronze sheet head, d 0.6). Two nails are in the
corners of each strip, the third was placed in the
middle at 2.5 cm from the corner of the chest.
Around the corner, the strips continue for 2.5 cm
and are fastened there by means of two nails in
their corners. Behind the upper strip on the right
a dovetail joint between front (tongue, w 1.0)
and side (groove) has been atested.

the side, to 0.5 in the middle) has bent proiled
ends.
11k-l On the front corners of the lid, above the
upper strips on the front, strips of bronze sheet
(w 6.5, h 3.8), bent around the top and continuing there for 1.
11m-n Two iron hinges each consist of two strips
of iron (vertical l 11, w tapering 2.5-1.5), partly
bent double, fastened with two iron nails (d of
the lat-globular heads 1.4). The vertical strip has
its central part bent around the hinge pin, the
horizontal one its two outer parts.
11o-p In the front holes of each horizontal hinge
plate, there were large bronze decorative nails
with rectangular shats (l 2, d 0.7x0.3) and heavy
lat-globular heads (h 0.8, d 2.3), on which a decorative silver(?) plate (d 1.3).
11q-t Twice two iron corner reinforcements join
the back wall to the sides (h 5.0, l on each side
5.0). They were fastened on each side with three
iron nails, the ones in the tops of the triangles
having lat square heads (1.0x1.0).

Introduction
The aim of this chapter is a reconstruction of the
living population in the setlement on the
Valkhof during the time of use of its two cemeteries. The main material of investigation is human bones, but where these are missing,
archaeological means of estimating age at death
and establishing sex have been used: male and
female funerary atributes and, especially for
children, sizes of coins or graves.
Two causes almost prevented this aim from being atained: the condition of the human bones
and the sad history of the investigations. Nevertheless, an atempt is made in this study to
roughly estimate life expectancy at birth for
cemetery OO and to construct mortality and survival curves on the basis of the same material
(Graphs 1-2).
Population size, which can be estimated using
life expectancy at birth, the number of graves
and the number of years of use of the cemetery,
is calculated in the section Population size of
Chapter 14, Interpretation. Life expectancy at birth
as estimated in the present chapter and another,
theoretical, value are used there in order to ind
the lower and upper margins of the population
size in the Valkhof setlement.
The condition of the human bones
The condition of the human bones in the acid
matrix of the sand in the Nijmegen late Roman
cemeteries is no less than disastrous. Lauwerier,
writing about the animal bones from the graves
of cemetery OO (1988, 76-7, repeated in Chapter
8 of the present study), puts it this way:
‘The human skeletal material gives a clear indication of how poorly bone has been preserved.
In 35% of the graves no bone material is present
any longer. In most of the other graves only a
fragile bony pulp of the skull remains. Less than
10% of the graves contain fragments of both the
skull and of the bones of the legs.’
Many of the graves showing a clear outline of
the coin did not contain a trace, not even an
outline, of the deceased. The reader should bear
these remarks in mind while reading in the ind
catalogue that parts of the skeleton were recognized: in many cases, it was this pulp of sand and
some bone, which in very few cases could be
taken out as solid objects. The length of the
thicker long bones (humerus, femur, tibia) could be
measured in only 7 out of 489 graves, i.e. just
under 1.5%, in cemetery OO. Hardly ever the pelvis was (partly) present (in 23 out of a total of
1323 graves in cemeteries B and OO together, i.e.
some 1.7%), and with it the main material for
establishing sex is gone. All things considered, it
is a miracle that so many morphological observations could be made at all.
The column DEC (decomposition) in Table 3 and
its legend give the details. Actually preserved
bones may be found via Appendices 2A and 2B.
The sad history of the investigations
Bones from 118 graves in cemetery B are kept in
the museum depot in Nijmegen, but they have
not been studied morphologically: they escaped
the notice of the present author up to December
2006. However, bone samples from 106 graves
in cemetery B were apparently studied by the
late Dr I.A. Lengyel.
On the other hand, no less than four investigations into the human remains of cemetery OO
have taken place in the 1980’s and later, two of
which came to the notice of the present author
only in August 2006. In the 1980’s: the late dr I.A.
Lengyel performed biochemical analyses of 106
graves of cemetery B and 193 graves in cemetery
OO; the late Mr Tj. Pot studied the teeth in JuneJuly 1985 and gave age determinations for 139
graves; Mr J. Bonhof, an amateur archaeologist
who served as assisant to Dr G.F. IJzereef of the
ROB, did a morphological study of the bones
(without the teeth) in November-December 1985
and gave 85 age and 25 sex determinations. He
worked alone in an ROB depot at Soesterberg.
These three studies remained unpublished and
two of them were forgoten.
The present author, who did not take part in the
excavations of either cemetery, took over the
study of cemetery OO from Mr P.A.M. Zoetbrood
in 1998. No papers concerning the study of the
239
—
human bones were handed over then. A database with skeletal data, made by Mr Zoetbrood
in the 1980’s and containing the results of these
three unpublished investigations, remained unnoticed and without legenda until August 2006.
Distrusting one and not knowing of the other
two investigations, the writer of this chapter
asked physical anthropologist dr Liesbeth Smits
of the University of Amsterdam whether students of hers could investigate the bones of
cemetery OO. Under her supervision, Marlous
van Domburg and Anouk Veldman studied the
bones, which are kept in some 30 boxes in the
Nijmegen museum depot. They provided age
determinations for the deceased in 89 graves
and 46 determinations of sex (Domburg/Veldman 2001).
When the results of Van Domburg and Veldman
had been added to the abovementioned database (see Table 3), it appeared that they had not
seen the teeth studied by Pot: they do not
mention teeth in 66 of the graves for which Pot
gives ages of the deceased. A chance remark by
Mr Bonhof in 1985 on one of his score forms (OO
322: ‘Where has the skull gone?’) suggests that
even he did not know of Pot’s investigations of a
few months before. He did not indeed (Bonhof,
pers.com. 2007).
The conclusion had to be that the teeth had not
been put back with the rest of the bones ater
study, and that no message (‘the teeth have
been taken out’) had been let in the ind boxes
containing the remaining bones. The study of
the teeth had taken place in the Utrecht
University Institute of Human Biology, which
ceased to exist September 1st, 1991. In October
2006, it appeared that the teeth of cemetery OO
had been saved then and stored by the ROB,
apparently without writen documentation
about their presence. That same month, the
teeth were brought back to Nijmegen in order to
be reunited with the rest of the bones.
None of the four investigating parties of cemetery OO ever saw all bones from all graves. Now
let us turn to the four individual studies.
Analyses by Dr I.A. Lengyel
In the 1980’s, when cemetery OO was being excavated, new experimental methods for palaeoserological research had been recently introduced
by the Hungarian biochemist Dr Imre A. Lengyel
(Lengyel 1975, 1984). Some years later he extended his biochemical methods in order to obtain sex
and age determinations. According to him, sex,
age group at death, blood group and collagen
type could be determined biochemically with
similar methods, whatever the state of a sample
of human bone. Samples from 193 graves in
cemetery OO and 106 graves in cemetery B were
studied by him; for every sample analysed he provided age and sex determinations.
The only trace of Lengyel’s work on cemetery
OO that has appeared in print is a igure of an
unidentiied excavation trench in cemetery OO
in Bloemers et al. (1981, 113, map centre below).
The graves are coloured green (blood group A)
or red (blood group B) and provided with a dot
let or right, indicating the position of the head.
In the caption to this map, the authors claim
that blood group B is overrepresented in the
graves with grave goods and with the head to
the east, whereas the graves without grave
goods and with the head to the west show an
overrepresentation of blood group A. These authors suggest two groups of biologically diferent people.
However, the present study, Chapter 14, Interpretation, shows the situation to be much more
complicated than the incorrect equations ‘head
E = grave goods; head W = no grave goods’.
Moreover, all signs are that there is one culturally homogeneous group active in cemeteries B
and OO, which changed its inhumation rituals
during the fourth and ith centuries.
Dr Lengyel’s determinations of age comprise all
ages from 0 up to 70.
The present author never saw lists writen by dr
Lengyel, but was able to draw up a list of his
analyses of 103 graves of cemetery B from the
notes of the late Mr Simon Wynia, which notes
form the main basis of the present ind catalogue of cemetery B.
240
—
When the archaeological data were compared to
Lengyel’s results, iteen inconsistencies were
observed. The bones of at least six of the skeletons were so strongly decayed that they are not
mentioned in Wynia’s notes: it was highly improbable that they could have yielded any results at all. Four others had grave/coin sizes
which were not in agreement with the determinations of the skeletons as ‘adult’ or ‘child’.
Three others had grave goods, which most probably disagreed with the sex determinations by
Lengyel. For the last two of these iteen, in one
case it was most probable that notes had been
mixed up, while in the other Lengyel’s determination was countered by a determination as
‘youth’ by visual impression (Brunsting, unpublished note).
Similar improbabilities in Lengyel’s results appeared to be present in the abovementioned database of cemetery OO, which put together the
results of the three physical anthropological
investigations performed in the 1980’s and the
archaeological indicators of sex and age. Table 3,
the core of which is the original data base,
shows 74 cases of discrepancy between
Lengyel’s judgement on age and the rest, as
against 47 of unanimity (61:39%; discrepancy is
indicated by italics in column ALE, unanimity by
underscoring).
As for sex, Lengyel’s judgements on sex are given for every sample analysed, as opposed to the
sparse judgements of Bonhof, Van Domburg/
Veldman and archaeological indicators. It is only
compared here in the twenty cases where the
other judgements on the sex of the deceased are
unanimous, with or without question marks.
Lengyel’s judgement is diferent from the unanimity of the other judgements in 8 cases and the
same in 12 (40:60%; diference is indicated by
italics, identity by underscoring).
This suggests that Lengyel’s method might not
be all wrong, but that it was then too experimental to give reliable results.
When I shared my doubts with physical anthropologist Dr Liesbeth Smits of the University of
Amsterdam in 1997, she answered that analysis
of blood groups had been contested for a long
time and was no longer performed on archaeological material, as far as she knew. When I
shared the same doubts with the Leyden physical anthropologist Dr George Maat in 1998, his
answer was that Dr Lengyel at some time no
longer believed in his own analyses and had
stopped performing them.
Dr Lengyel died tragically in 1992. His work has
recently been taken up by Dr László Márk in Budapest (Márk 2002, 2004).
Determinations by Mr Tj. Pot†
An emeritus dentist and member of the Tooth
and Mouth Diseases Group of Health Organisation TNO in Utrecht, the late Mr Tjeerd Pot was
well equipped to investigate human teeth. Together with Dr Perizonius he developed a score
form for dental remains (Perizonius 1983, 11630), which was later reined by Bouts and Pot
(1989). A year before he deceased, Mr Pot (2004)
wrote an unpublished autobiographical note, in
which he described his palaeo-odontological
work and method.
For the dental remains of children, the development of their total deciduous and/or permanent
dentitions (Ubelaker 1984) was used to determine their age at death.
For adults, Pot used in the irst instance Brothwell’s (1981) atrition scheme to estimate age at
death, but he added many improvements. He
worked with Brothwell’s four atrition groups.
According to Brothwell’s original scheme, Group
I would contain the 18-25-year-old; II the individuals of 25-35; III those of 35-45; and IV those
aged above 45 years.
However, it had already been recognized by
Brothwell that the age classes to be atached to
the atrition groups are highly dependent upon
the rate of atrition in the population studied. By
using a sample of known age and sex and working with broad age groups having a small overlap, Constandse-Westermann (1997) demonstrated that in a population with a slower
atrition rate, Atrition Group I contained the individuals of 22-30, Group II those of 25-50,
241
—
Group III 45-70 and Group IV those aged above
65. Calibrating the data in this manner she
obtained 80% correct age estimations.
According to Pot’s results, cemetery OO contained 85.6% individuals in Atrition Group I,
11.7% in Group II, 2.7% in Group III and 0.0% in
Group IV. This result is not a consequence of the
manner in which the degree of atrition has been
scored by Pot. A series of seventeen Dutch populations, all scored by him in exactly the same
manner, shows clearly that his results are not
biased towards any of the four atrition groups
(Pot unpublished material, Constandse-Westermann unpublished material). Instead it indicates
that the majority of the individuals buried at
cemetery OO died at a young age.
The total range of ages estimated by Pot is 2
years up to 45 according to Brothwell’s values =
70 years when calibrated along the lines of Constandse-Westermann 1997. These calibrated results, to be found in column APO (age according
to Pot) in Table 3, agree with those of Bonhof
and those of Van Domburg and Veldman in over
70% of the cases.
Determinations by Mr J. Bonhof for Dr G.F. IJzereef
Dr G.F. IJzereef wrote his PhD thesis on animal
bones (IJzereef 1981). His name, however, does
not igure in his 176 score forms, which were all
illed in by his assistant Mr J. Bonhof. The score
forms cover all graves with human bones preserved between the original grave numbers 1
and 303 of the 1980-1983 excavations around
Nursing-home Margriet in cemetery OO.
The morphological method by which Bonhof in
November-December 1985 determined sex and
age at death from human bones was that of a
quick scan. Per grave, i.e. per individual, one single-sided form was illed in. Scores for sex were
meant to be made on parameters of the skull,
pelvis and other parts of the skeleton, but the
score forms do not tell which parameters. The
same goes for scores on age at death, taken
from skull, dentition and post-cranial parts. The
form has a schematic drawing of all skeleton
parts on diferent scales and with four views of
the skull. Preserved parts were indicated with
black in this drawing. The form has a section for
illing in the measurements of long bones, but
lengths could be given in seven graves only. As
this took place in November-December 1985,
two years ater the excavations in cemetery OO
had ended and six months ater Pot’s work on
the teeth, the records show which skeleton parts
had actually been taken out of the ground and
had remained in the ind boxes ater the teeth
had been taken out.
The determinations by Bonhof comprise the
ages from 10 years up to over 50. In other words:
the ages of 0-9 years are not represented in his
forms, the ages from 50 up to 80 years by one
case only.
Lauwerier (1988, 78-9, Table 24, columns sex
and age of the human skeleton) gives results established by Bonhof for ten graves of cemetery
OO, without however mentioning his name.
Determinations by Marlous van Domburg and
Anouk Veldman
Ms Van Domburg and Ms Veldman kept meticulously score of every feature that would help in
establishing age at death and used many diferent criteria and the respective tables to be found
in the literature. This accounts for the many different age groups in their report: see column
ADV (age according to Van Domburg and Veldman) in Table 3. However, their study is seriously
impaired by the absence of most of the dental
material, unknown to the authors.
They were able to use the following indicators
for age determination. For ages up to adult and
beyond: closure of the cranial sutures; closure of
the gaps between epiphyses and diaphyses; the ossiication of the dens axis on the second vertebra;
Ubelaker’s (1984) scheme of dentition; synchondrosis in the lower part of the skull. For adult age:
the complex method of Acsádi and Nemeskéri
(1970), consisting of degenerative changes in the
symphysis pubica, degeneration of the spongiosum
of the proximal ends of femur and humerus, and
obliteration of endocranial sutures; further, ex-
242
—
ocranial suture obliteration, dental atrition and
general degeneration. The range of the ages determined by them is 6 to 65/74 years.
As for sex, hardly anything of the pelvis being
preserved, they were able to use the following
indicators on the skull: glabella, protuberantia occipitalis externa, processus mastoideus, crista supramastoidea, relief of the planum nuchale and tubera
parietalia. The mandibulae being somewhere else,
no indicators on the lower jaws could be used.
Van Domburg and Veldman are extremely cautious on sex (2001, 8). In cases where only one
physical indicator for sex is present, they put
four question marks ater the M (for male) or F
(for female); when there are two (mostly the
processus mastoideus and one of the relief characteristics of the skull, almost no pelvises being
available), they put ???; when there are two or
three high values for sex characteristics (+2 for
male, -2 for female), they put ??; when there are
four or more highly valued sex characteristics,
they put ?; when many sex characteristics have
all high values for either male or female, they
put an exclamation mark.
Archaeological indicators
As for the distinction between children and
adults: coins up to 160 cm most probably contained children, it is argued in Chapter 14, Interpretation.
The coin length of 110 cm has been taken as the
arbitrary division between 0-5 years (up to 110
cm), and 6-10 years (111-160 cm). Where there is
no coin trace, the grave lengths of 130 and 180
cm play the same role, allowing 20 cm for a body
to it into the grave. Adolescents (11-20), who
rapidly atain the body length of an adult, cannot be detected by this method: coins from 160
cm upwards and graves (without coin trace)
from 180 cm upwards get J/A (juvenis/adult) in
the column of archaeological age indicators (AAI)
in Table 3.
As for sex: in such uncertain circumstances of
anthropological results, archaeological male and
female atributes can be helpful.
Many judgements on age standardized by using
median years
A physical anthropological study of a cemetery
usually consists of one investigation, involving
one set of age classes. In our case, we have several archaeological indicators plus four physical
anthropological approaches, all on the basis of
material incomplete by its nature and by the
story of the investigation, all with diferent age
classes. Therefore, they had to be standardized
some way in order to be comparable: the median year of every judgement has been taken,
calculated in the way to be explained below.
An approach to life expectancy at birth for cemetery OO
Whatever the diferences between the four
physical anthropological studies, it is possible to
calculate life expectancy at birth from each of
the four sets of results separately. These values
appear to be not too wide apart.
For this calculation, the median value of the age
span was established for every age determination given. Two instances: when the age
determination given for a particular grave is 0-5
years, the time span runs the six years from the
day of birth up to the sixth birthday; the median
value for this age group is 0+6:2=3 (and not, as
one would expect, 0+5:2=2.5). When it is 22-30
years (frequent, because it is the calibrated dental atrition group I), the time span is that of the
nine years between the twenty-second and the
thirty-irst birthday, and the average age is
22+9:2 = 26.5 years. When a determination only
gives the minimum age and not the maximum,
e.g. ‘22-’, the median value of its group has been
taken, in this case 26.5 years for atrition group I.
Life expectancy at birth usually is calculated for a
given cohort, a year group. The two terms life expectancy at birth and the special use of cohort
should be deined here for the purpose of our
study.
Life expectancy at birth of a given cohort is the
total number of man years lived by that cohort,
divided by the number of its members. For a
cemetery, all people buried are together consi-
243
—
dered one cohort. For an anthropological study of a
cemetery, all individuals studied are together considered a sample of one cohort. So life expectancy at birth implicit in each of the anthropological studies of cemetery OO is the sum of the
median ages established for that study, divided
by the number of age determinations in that
study.
These calculations give the following results. For
Lengyel’s study, the sum of the median ages at
death is 5,279.5 years, and the number of determinations is 193, so the implicit life expectancy
at birth there is 5,279.5:193=27.35 years. For the
study of Bonhof, it is 2,240:85=26.35 years. For
the study of Pot, with Constandse-Westermann’s calibrated values for Brothwell’s dental
atrition groups, it is 3,686:139=26.51. For the
study of Van Domburg and Veldman, the implicit
life expectancy at birth is 2,804.5:89=31.51 years.
The results of Lengyel’s study will not be used
below. The average of the three values of the
morphological studies is 28.03 years. The usual
estimate of life expectancy at birth used for Roman Nijmegen and Germania Inferior/Germania
Secunda is 25-30 years (Bloemers 1990, 76; cited
by Buitendorp 2003, 207, n.11). Following the
same line of thought as above, its median value
is 25+6:2=28. The average value for life expectancy at birth, calculated above, of 28.03 years
its in very well with this educated guess of 2530, i.e. 28.
This estimate of 28.03 years ánd another, theoretical one will be used in the calculation of the
population size in Chapter 14, Interpretation.

Combining the data
The experimental work of Lengyel, whose results
are too much at variance with those of the other
three studies and with archaeological indicators,
is further ignored here.
As for age at death: 92 out of 266 graves of cemetery OO in Table 3 have two or more judgements
on age at death. 54 of these have three judgements, including those found via the length of
coin or grave in the case of children. 38 out of
these graves, i.e. 70%, show an overlap in age
determinations, whereas 16, i.e. 30%, do not.
Where there are two age judgements on a grave,
35 out of 38, i.e. 92%, show an overlap, whereas 3,
i.e. 8%, do not.
As for sex: the study by Pot is the only one not to
pronounce upon sex. The studies by Bonhof and
Van Domburg/Veldman, as well as male and female dress accessories, do pronounce on sex. Not
counting those by Lengyel and ignoring the question marks ater the leters F and M, 87 out of 266
graves of cemetery OO in Table 3 have one or
more judgements on sex. On 62 graves with only
one judgement, there are 33 women and 29 men.
On 25 graves with two or more judgements, there
are 8 women and 12 men, whereas 5 graves have
not been counted, as they have contradictory
judgements (OO 99, 222, 256, 347, 378). Men and
women both add up to 41: as far as we can know,
there seems to be a perfect balance.
An approach to a survival curve for cemetery
OO (Graphs 1-2)
A survival curve shows the percentages of the cohort surviving at diferent ages, derived from a life
table.
In order to select the data for a survival table for
cemetery OO, we remove the following four sets
of unsatisfactory or missing data from Table 3:
irstly, the columns of determinations by Lengyel;
secondly, the rows representing 55 graves for which
no median value for age at death can be established for lack of data; the grave numbers in column CAT of Table 3 are in italics;
thirdly, the rows representing 24 graves for which
the judgements on age at death are contradictory,
i.e. they do not overlap; e.g. an adult in a very
small grave is highly improbable; the causes being
the absence of most of the dentitions during
investigation of the rest of the bones and the
fragmentary state of the bones; their grave numbers in column CAT of Table 3 are underscored;
fourthly, in four graves where the quick scan of
Bonhof gives a lower age (no overlap) than the
agreement on age at death of Pot and Van Domburg/Veldman with their meticulous methods,
Bonhof’s result is ignored (OO 48, 222, 299, 377).
In the process of removal of these unsatisfactory
data, the sample of graves from cemetery OO for
the calculation of the survival table went down
from 266 in Table 3 to 187 in Table 4.
So the judgements used are: age determinations
by Pot, in most cases Bonhof and Van Domburg/
Veldman and the lengths of small coins (up to
110 cm: 0-5 years; 111-159 cm: 6-10 years) or, lacking those, graves (up to 130 cm: 0-5; 131-179: 6-10
years). For each age determination, the median
value has been taken, calculated as discussed
above. In cases with more than one age determination, the average of the median values was
used. The resulting ages at death were rounded of
at complete years of life.
This leads to the life table in Table 4 with columns
AGE with rounded of years. In order to produce
the mortality bar diagram of Graph 2, a 0 (zero)
was put in the column headed N, which indicates
the number of people deceased per year of life,
for those years that did not yield an age at death.
And in order to produce the uninterrupted survival curve of Graph 2, values were put in column %
SUR for the same missing years, extrapolated between the two nearest values.

The mortality bar diagram of Graph 1 shows
three clear peaks: for the irst ten years of life,
concentrated at the median value of 3 for the
age group 0-5 years and at 9, the rounded of
median value of 8.5 for the age group 6-10
years. There is a pronounced peak around the
age of 27, when the number of survivors drops
dramatically from 53.1 to 30.1%. The last peak is
around the age of 38. Five strong people (2.7%)
survive up to ages between 46 and 55. A usual
peak is remarkably absent: that around the age
of 20, when men are reckless and women give
birth (Acsádi and Nemeskéri 1970, passim).
The angular beginning of the survival curve in
Graph 2 relects the artiicial determination of
age at death on the basis of lengths of small cofins and graves, almost no children’s bones being available.
Seventy percent of the population had died before it could reach the age of 28. This was a population consisting of many young people and a
few old ones. Their outlook on life was, supposing they kept count of their age: 50% chance to
survive up to the age of 26, 10% chance to reach
36, and 5% to grow really old, up to over 50.
Comparison to similar populations
As this chapter was being writen, Liesbeth Smits
of the University of Amsterdam published data
from Krefeld-Gellep (Smits 2006a). Her thesis
(Smits 2006b) treats four cemetery populations
from the limes of Germania Inferior in the Early
and Middle Roman times: Valkenburg-Marktveld
near Praetorium Agrippinae, AD I-II: 520 cremations, 134 inhumations; Nijmegen-Museum Kamstraat near the Nijmegen Augustan legionary fortress, AD 30-70 (= G.M. Kam’s cemetery E on Fig.
2, the street then being named Eleonorastraat):
131 cremations, part of a much larger complex;
Moers-Asberg, the vicus near the auxiliary fortress
of Asciburgium: 89 and 94 cremations from the N
and S cemeteries, respectively, AD I-II; KrefeldGellep, near the auxiliary fortress Gelduba: 670
cremations, AD I-III. Her conclusions were that
child mortality was high and that most of the
adults died in the age of 20-40 years (Smits 2006,
48, 77, 101, 118, 188). The clearest results are those
for Krefeld-Gellep: more than half the population
died between 20 and 40, 22% reached an age between 40 and 60, and over 7% got older than 60
(Smits 2006b, 118).
A larger sample of 906 cremations from KrefeldGellep of AD I-IV date (Smits 2006a, 583) gave the
following results. The ratio children:adults was
10.5:89.5%. 58.8% died between the ages of 20
and 40, 29% reached an age between 40 and 60,
and 1.5% got older than 60 years.
The survival rate in the fourth-century Nijmegen
cemetery OO seems at irst sight markedly lower
than those of the four cemeteries studied by
Smits. This may relect the unsatisfactory preservation of inhumations in the Nijmegen sand and
the sad history of the investigations, rather than a
real high mortality in peaceful Nijmegen of the
fourth century. For instance: ages found by Van
Domburg and Veldman were rejected in the process of selecting satisfactory data (graves OO 26,
48, 99, 118, 249, 272, 290, 302, 306, 315, 356, 431)
because they were higher, sometimes much higher, than the other judgements on the same graves.
There are, however, two marked diferences that
argue for a really lower survival rate. Firstly, we
already saw that 85.6% of the deceased in Table 3,
column APO (age according to Pot), belonged to
dental atrition group I, i.e. they died between the
ages of 22 and 30. This is expressed by the peak at
the age of 27 in the mortality bar diagram of
Graph 1 and the corresponding steep drop of the
survival curve in Graph 2. Secondly, not a single
instance of dental atrition group IV (age 65 and
higher) was found in the Nijmegen material.
This fourth-century population really seems to
have died younger than the ones from the irst to
the third centuries in the same area. What caused
this higher mortality remains in the dark. The only
explanation that springs to mind is the bad economic circumstances of the fourth century, which
also resulted in the eight coin periods given in
Chapter 3, Table 1.
8 Food as gravegits
R.C.G.M. Lauwerier
Introduction
Almost all food remains from cemetery Nijmegen-East (OO), previously named cemetery ‘Margriet’, have been discussed in Lauwerier 1983 and
1988 (76-85). One ind was described later (Lauwerier 1999). In order to have all data of the late
Roman cemeteries of Nijmegen in one volume,
the 1988 text is partly presented here again. However, text, numbers and tables have been extensively adapted in order to it into the present
study, and the 1999 ind is added. The data about
the sex and age of the buried humans presented
in the 1983 and 1988 publications are replaced by
more reliable data (see Chapter 7, The living population), and some thoughts about diferent kinds of
meat as ‘food for the dead’ have been replaced by
those from a later study (Lauwerier 1993). In addition archaeozoological data from cemetery Inner
City (B) (Lauwerier 1999) have been included.
On both the east and the west side of the fourthcentury fortiication on the Valkhof cemeteries
have been found that most probably belong to
the setlement. The eastern burial ground, cemetery OO, was partly excavated in the years 19801983. It is estimated that this cemetery contained
some 1590 graves, 489 of which have been excavated; these were almost exclusively inhumation
graves. In some graves dishes were found containing animal bones as gits for the dead (partly
discussed previously: Lauwerier 1983). As material
for archeozoological investigation usually only the
remains of meals are available: garbage and
refuse of meals in the past. The interesting thing
about the bone material from the cemetery is that
we are not dealing with the garbage and refuse
but with the meal itself: a sort of plate-service for
the dead.
Dishes and bones
During the excavation of cemetery OO, 489 graves
were found, 73 of which contained items of pottery on which one could expect to ind bones:
plates, dishes, bowls and one cooking-pot. Although during the excavation of the graves bones
were oten observed on the plates, dishes and
bowls, the contents of only a few have remained
preserved, on account of the very unfavourable
conditions for preservation in the sandy soil of the
cemetery. Even a slight touch caused the bones to
disintegrate into dust. The human skeletal material gives a clear indication of how poorly bone
has been preserved. In 35% of the graves no bone
material is present any longer. In most of the other graves only a fragile bony pulp of the skull remains. Less than 10% of the graves contain fragments of both the skull and of the bones of the
legs. The animal bones from cemetery B are also
badly preserved and fragmented.
The contents of a few plates, dishes and bowls
from cemetery OO were treated with a preservative during the excavation, in order to preserve
them as far as possible prior to archeozoological
analysis (Table 5, nos. 14-23). The contents of
these plates, dishes, and bowls and those from
cemetery B will be discussed further below. A
summary of the data is given in Table 5. The percentages mentioned in the table under the contents recovered indicate approximately the proportion of the contents of the dishes, i.e. of the
undisturbed soil containing the bones that were
conserved during the excavation.

Cemetery OO
1 OO 101.3 with 3a and 3b
Coarse cooking-pot Gellep 105. Part of the original illing intact (percentages not established).
OO 101.3a Human: in the illing, at a depth of 9
cm, was a human bone fragment (proximal part
of a let femur; 1.8 g).
OO 101.3b Catle: at the same depth ive fragments of probably the same rib, 3.4 g. Large
mammal: 38 unidentiiable fragments, probably
belonging to the catle rib; 2.9 g. It can be assumed that the human bone has secondarily
sagged into the jar or was introduced by mice or
moles. Also the cow’s rib may have got into the
jar when the grave was illed in. However it also
could indicate that beef was intentionally put in
the jar as food.
2 OO 101.6 with 6a and 6b
Coarse dish Gellep 128. 75% of the original illing
intact. (Lauwerier 1983 (1986), 186, Fig. 3; 1988,
80, Fig. 22.
OO 101.6a Pig: head of a sucking pig. The cranium is fragmented. The Pd2’s are just breaking
through: age about 10 weeks.
OO 101.6b Domestic fowl (?): articulated parts of
ulna, radius and humerus, probably from a domestic fowl. Three large unidentiiable fragments could be parts of the hind legs. Also a lot
of bird rib fragments are present. The position of
the articulated bones of the wing, the unidentiiable long bones and the fragments of ribs
strongly suggest that we are concerned here
with the bones of one complete bird that was
interred in an intact state.
3 OO 144.1 with 1a
Terra sigillata plate Gellep 41 (= Chenet 313). 25%
of the original illing intact.

On the basis of bone inds in the cemetery in
Courroux, Bechert (1982, 284) proposes that the
dead were supplied with second-rate meat while
the funeral guests kept the choicest pieces for
themselves. The inds from cemeteries OO and B
give a diferent impression. That we are dealing
here with meals and not with the refuse of meals
is best illustated by the articulated skeletons of
domestic fowl. One can only ind articulated skeletons if complete animals have been buried from
which edible parts have not been cut of. For the
two best conserved skeletons of domestic fowl
from the graves OO 168 and OO 186, and also for
the inds from the graves B 86, B 150 and B 191, it
is striking that there are no traces of the head and
the inedible parts of the hind legs. This brings to
mind the well known picture of a fried chicken,
from which the head and feet have been cut of.
From Roman times too there are examples of
such a way of preparing fowl. The ornamented
bronze lid, probably of a vessel for food, from
Mundelsheim from the 2nd or 3rd century AD, is
one such example (Fig. 1). The fowl is presented
on the border of the lid: the head and the ends
of the hind legs have been cut of. Also represented are a ring of piglets and, lanked by
grapes, a hare. Fowls prepared in this way are
also known from the cemeteries of Leuna,
Wessling, Neuburg and Kempten (Gandert 1953;
Keller 1971, 1979; Mackensen 1978).
Fig. 1 The bronze lid from Mundelsheim (Germany) showing rings of fowl and piglets and in the centre a hare
(Würtembergisches Landesmuseum Stutgart).
In Nijmegen a humerus of a sucking pig was
found on two occasions, this being indicative of
good quality meat (graves OO 354 and OO 356).
Also heads of sucking pigs have been found
(graves OO 101 and OO 144.6). Nowadays we
tend to consider the meat of this part of the animal to be of poorer quality, but there are indications in writen sources that this kind of meat in
fact was a delicacy in Roman times. Macrobius
(3,13,12) tells about a banquet that Lentullus offered his guests in about 70 BC on the occasion
of his ordination as a priest. Besides oysters,
thrushes with asparagus, fried hare and fowl
also fried heads of pigs were served. But pig’s
head is also known to have been a delicacy in
later times, as in medieval and Tudor England
(Wilson 1973, 82). And in the folk tale of Uilenspiegel, as placed by De Coster (1867) in 16thcentury Flanders, Lamme complains that he has
to live on bread and water while the nobility
feast on head of wild boar, among other things
(III,29).
All in all, the dishes from Nijmegen on which
bone remains were found give the impression
261
—
that food was placed in the graves that was not
second-rate or the refuse of a meal (of, for example, the funeral guests), having only a symbolical meaning, but rather a good meal for the
dead.
In view of the small number of inds it is hard to
discern any relation between the ages of the deceased persons and the meals they were given.
All that can be said is that the dead of all ages,
children as well as adults, were provided with
meat of catle, pig and fowl as a grave git.
In Courroux birds were found exclusively in the
graves of women. From this it has been concluded that they were speciically grave-gits for
women (Martin-Kilcher 1976). Wahl and Kokabi
(1987, 1988) make the same suggestion based on
information about Stetfeld and Konstanz. The
information from Nijmegen about this subject is
very scarce. Only one grave (OO 356) of which
the sex of the human skeleton could be established (probably a woman) contained identiied
animal bones: a young pig. However, if the data
upon which these suggestions is based on is
studied in more detail, no diferences in the frequencies of the occurrence of chicken in female
or male graves can be established (Lauwerier
1993).
The other potery of cemetery OO that was studied shows no traces of bones at all. From this it
could possibly be concluded that no boned meat
was given in these cases. Yet if we consider the
human skeletal material, we see that human remains were found in only one grave. Evidently
the conditions for preservation in the graves
were so poor that no conclusions at all can be
drawn from the inds of empty items of potery
in cemeteries OO and B.
The relation between the setlement and the
cemetry
It is obvious that we should compare the bone
material from cemeteries OO and B with that
from the stronghold on the Valkhof (Lauwerier
1988, section 3.3.2). Comparing these two sets of
bone material, we can see that the values for
frequency of occurrence of bones of catle,
sheep/goat, pig and domestic fowl are completely diferent at the two sites. Unfortunately,
however, the number of identiiable inds from
the cemeteries is so small (17) that no conclusion
whatsoever can be drawn from this comparison.
In order to make a more meaningful comparison
between animal bones from setlements and
those from cemeteries, archeozoological data
have been collected relating to 27 setlements
and 20 cemeteries or individual graves within
the Roman Empire.
For the cemeteries a random selection has been
made from the available literature in which faunal material is mentioned, from sites in the
Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria and
Switzerland (Table 6). These include the early
Roman cemeteries in Kempten (Mackensen
1978), Weisenau (Kessler 1927) and Brugg
(Tomašević and Hartmann 1972); cemeteries
dating from mid-Roman times in Höraing (Gerhardt and Maier 1964), Eining (Kellner 1965),
Stephanskirchen (mentioned in Kellner 1965),
Regensburg (Mackensen 1973) and Courroux
(Martin-Kilcher 1976; Kaufmann 1976); late Roman cemeteries in Krefeld-Gellep (Pirling 1974),
Neuburg (Keller 1971), Neuss (Härke 1980; Reichstein 1980), Augsburg, Göggingen, Burgheim,
Valley, Potzham, Altenstadt, Wessling (Keller
1971), Oudenburg (Mertens and Van Impe 1971)
and the cemeteries in Nijmegen described
above.
In the table no distinction has been made between animals or parts of animals that were
found on dishes or plates and those that were
simply placed in the grave. Possibly a few bones
are present that accidentally came into the grave
together with the earth used to cover the remains of the deceased. As in the great majority
of cases the faunal material was described as
clearly belonging to the grave, this will hardly
inluence the overall picture of the occurrence of
the various kinds of animals interred. The numbers shown in the table indicate the frequency
with which the animal species occur in the
graves. In the case of one grave containing fau-

nal remains of one species on diferent plates,
separate counts have been made for each plate.
Pig is the most abundant species, with a frequency of 63%, followed by domestic fowl at
25%. Catle and sheep/goat account for only 7
and 5%, respectively.
In addition to the species mentioned in the table
other species occur incidentally: horse in Oudenburg, dog in Neuss and Courroux, hare or rabbit
in Höraing, goose in Courroux and Oudenburg,
eider duck (Somateria mollissima) in Neuss, ish in
Weisenau and oyster in Oudenburg. The few
fragments of horse and dog that have been
found in graves probably cannot be considered
as representing food for the dead as these species were not normally eaten in Roman times
(Luf 1982). Martin-Kilcher (1976) indicates the
possibility that dog may have been provided as a
companion for the journey to the hereater. As
an indication of this she mentions the presence
of a ceramic igure of a dog in one of the three
graves in Courroux that contained dog remains.

Table 7 gives an overview of the setlement
refuse of the most frequently consumed mammals and the domestic fowl in Roman times. The
table includes data from 27 sites where a total
number of more than 100 bone fragments of
catle, sheep or goat, pig and domestic fowl
have been found. The sites concerned are of
both civilian and military setlements in the
Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland (Clason 1977, Tables 15 and 18). The table
gives the mean percentage distribution of the
number of bone fragments. This overall picture
of the species composition in all the setlements
considered jointly corresponds more or less to
the frequency spectra within the individual settlements (Clason 1977, 126).
The data from the setlements and the cemeteries cannot be directly compared because they
express diferent quantities, namely numbers of
fragments and the numbers of individual animals respectively. This problem is a consequence
of the diferent ways of presentation of the bone
material in the literature consulted, that is partly
accounted for by the diferent nature of the objects excavated. In a self-contained structure like
a grave it is more sensible and more meaningful
to indicate individuals than in the refuse pits of a
setlement. However, this diference in presentation does not prevent us from gaining insight
on a broad scale into the diferences between
setlements and cemeteries.
The most conspicuous diferences are as follows.
Catle, that are represented in the setlements
by 60% of the fragments, are found in very small
quantities in the cemeteries, certainly if one
compares the mammal species with one another. Among the mammals, sheep/goat comes in
third place in both the setlements and in the
cemeteries, although the percentage for the settlements is higher than that for the cemeteries.
The domestic fowl, that rates 2% in the setlements, is the second most abundant animal in
the cemeteries.
The above-mentioned diferences can partly be
explained by diferent methods of excavating
cemeteries and setlements. If the cemeteries
have been excavated more meticulously than
the setlements or if sieving has been carried out
(something that is not mentioned in most of the
publications concerning the cemeteries), then it
is possible that notably the quantitative diference in domestic fowl remains may be explained
as a result of this (Clason and Prummel 1977;
Clason et al. 1979). That the diferences for
264
—
mammals can also be atributed to diferent excavation techniques seems unlikely. If this were
indeed the case, then one would expect that in
addition to pig also sheep/goat, that fall into the
same size class, would score higher, yet this is
not so.
The low numbers of bird remains in the setlements may also be due to gnawing by dogs. Yet
this does not explain the diference in occurrence of mammals between the setlements and
the cemeteries.

Another explanation can be taken from the cookery book of Apicius. In Table 8 the data of the Tables 6 and 7 are presented alongside the frequencies with which the diferent animal species are
mentioned in the cookery book of Apicius/Caelius.
This cookery book dates from the 1st century AD.
It was writen by the well-to-do gastronome Apicius, and in the form of the book that is known to
us, may have been revised by a certain Caelius at
the end of the fourth century or beginning of the
ith century (Forbes 1965). For the quantitative
data concerning the occurrence of the various animal species in the cookery book the English translation of Flower and Rosenbaum (1958) has been
used. In addition to the species listed in the igure,
namely catle, sheep/goat, pig and domestic fowl,
in the cookery book there is occasional mention
of a great number of other species: wild sheep,
wild goat, red deer, fallow deer, boar, rabbit, hare,
dormouse, goose, duck, hazel hen, partridge,
pheasant, peacock, crane, ostrich, parrot, pigeon,
wood-pigeon, turtle dove, thrush, ig-pecker, lamingo, electric ray, murena, eel, conger eel, anchovy, scorpion ish, perch, sea-perch, sea-bream,
gold-bream, dentex, red mullet, grey mullet,
horse mackerel, tunny ish, bonito, sole, sheatish, ‘cornuta’, prawn, sea-crayish, squill, lobster,
squid, cutleish, octopus, mussel, oyster, snail,
sea urchin and jelly-ish.
Again it must be pointed out that the frequency
percentages in Table 8 cannot be directly compared with those for the cemeteries and setlements. In the table diferent quantitative categories stand alongside one another: numbers of
fragments for the setlements, numbers of individuals for the cemeteries and the number of
times a species is mentioned in the cookery book.
However, if we compare, in a general way, the
data from the graves with those from the setlements and that from the cookery book, we could
conclude that the reason so many chicken and pig
bones are found in graves is because the meat
spectrum present in graves compares most readily with that used in a luxurious cookery book. So,
the dead were not provided with ordinary, everyday food but with something more festive.
Another explanation for the fact that so many
chicken and pigs are found in cemeteries is perhaps more obvious (Lauwerier 1993). Except for
when a illet or ragout of chicken is put in the
grave, the meat would normally always still be on
the bone. The same can be said for pork, the top
scorer in the cemeteries. Many recipes using pork
include the bone. Recipes made of sucking pig,
regularly found in graves, always contain bone
and by so doing, always leave evidence. Recipes
using beef are, however, totally diferent. In contrast to pig and chicken, the meat is cut of the
bones, thereby leaving no remains in a grave if the
beef was placed on a plate (cf. Mackensen 1978,
173).
The frequent occurrence of chicken and pig bones
in graves may well, therefore, give a false picture
of past reality. It is not unlikely that the empty or
half empty plates found in graves may have contained beef. The information from the plates
seems to be very clear, but the rubbish pits in the
265
—
setlements, containing the ofal and discarded
remains of meals, give a much more reliable picture of the consumption patern of the living, than
do the plates and dishes in the graves for the
“consumption” patern of the deceased.

9 Plant remains from grave B 29
Corrie Bakels
The Roman grave known as B 298 has revealed
more than the personal ornaments, coins, two
beakers, a pair of scales, parts of a leather purse, a
boar’s tusk and sea shells. It also contained plant
remains. Their presence came more or less as a
surprise, because plants are hardly to be expected
in an inhumation grave above ground water level.
Normally they decay rather quickly. In this case,
however, they were preserved because of close
contact with grave goods made of bronze.
There are three kinds of remains. The irst kind
concerns rhizomes of a horsetail species (Equisetum spec.). These underground parts may have
intruded the grave at any stage ater the burial
and are not considered to belong to the gravegoods. Horsetails are very weedy plants and their
rhizomes penetrate deep into the soil.
The second kind of remains consists of very thin
pieces of wood. C. Vermeeren identiied this wood
as radially split from a deciduous tree species. The
wood had characteristics as seen in Pomoidea,
poplar (Populus), hazel (Corylus) or alder (Alnus).
They are presumably natural. Especially alder
roots are known to split up like this during decay.
Therefore the wood may not belong to the gravegoods either.
The third kind of remains are, however, considered to belong to the original contents of the
grave. These inds comprise large fragments of
one or two nuts of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller). Only the pericarp has been preserved,
but the nuts were originally placed as complete
specimens in the grave.
Finds of sweet chestnut are rare. The nearest inds
up till present are from a cremation grave from
the 1st century in Kempten (Germany), from the
Roman harbour in Straubing (Germany), from the
ill of a water well in a Roman villa in Boreham
(Essex, England), in the temple of Isis in Pompeii
and in sacriicial contexts in other Vesuvian locations (Willerding 1978, Küster 1992, Murphy 2003,
Overbeck and Mau 1884, Meyer 1994, Materne
and Derreumaux 2007). Possible remains have
been reported from Roman cremation graves in
the French Massif Central (Bouby and Marinval
2004).
The rareness of the nut may be atributed to its
poor chance of preservation. A carbonized sweet
chestnut is very fragile and from a waterlogged
chestnut only fragments of the pericarp will survive and these are not easily to identify. The nuts
are known as components of Roman meals. The
Roman cook Apicius presents a recipe. It is quite
possible that the chestnuts in grave B 298 represent food for the dead. There may have been
more of them, and also other kinds of plant food,
but if this was not deposited next to something of
bronze, this food will not have been preserved.
But it is also feasible that they are more than just
food. Some fruits and seeds had, next to their
place on the table, also a place in rituals. This is,
for instance, known of dates, igs, and pinecones
and their kernels (Zach 2002, Hänninen and Vermeeren 1997). It would not be surprising if sweet
chestnut belonged in this category as well. The
tree was introduced in northwestern Europe, the
Netherlands included, by the Romans, as is attested by its pollen. It may have been planted because of the pleasure of the consuming of chestnuts, but it is possible, too, that the tree was
needed for other purposes, such as poles and
stakes.
The plant remains are kept in the Collection Laboratory for Archaeobotany, Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University.
10 Roman textiles from Cemetery OO
G.M. Vogelsang-Eastwood
The inds consist of a small group of textiles
from three loci. One of the textiles is extremely
small, less than 0.5 cm, while the largest is nearly 8.0 cm in size. The condition of the textiles is
poor. The fragments are very britle and are
semi-carbonized. The objects are of interest because they represent various types of weaves
and give an indication of the type of textile technology to be found in the region at this time.
There is no indication that these textiles were
imported pieces (type of ibre, spin, weave, and
so forth). Based on the inds from other contemporary and near contemporary Roman sites, it is
clear that these pieces are acceptable parts of
the textile horizon of this area and date.
The inds
OO 242.8
This ind is made up of four largish and several
small lumps of carbonized organic material. On
one piece there are traces of what appears to be
a weave, but under a microscope, it would appear that it is an organic material which has
deteriorated in narrow strips (leather?)
OO 366.3
The ind is made up of two textiles, the irst textile (a) is a large fragment made up of several
layers of cloth. The second textile (b) is somewhat smaller and was apparently resting on the
irst piece. It would appear that they are from
the same length of cloth. The cloth is now carbonized. There are areas of green on the material which would appear to be a copper deposit
from another object, rather than indicating the
use of a dye or pigment.
Fibre: animal? Size: (a) 7.7 x 3.5 (b) 3.8 x 2.3 cm.
Spin: z/z (some paired threads, this may relect a
weaving fault rather than the deliberate use of
paired threads). Twist: medium/medium.
Count: 24 in the presumed warp; 16 in the presumed wet. Weave: 1/2 twill (it should be noted
that no selvedges are present so it is not clear
whether it is actually a 1/2 or a 2/1 twill. Nevertheless, the presence of plied threads in one direction indicates that this was the wet, and thus
a 1/2 twill form. In one area of the web there is
evidence of the use of thicker thread (S,3?z)
which appears to turn back on itself. However,
due to the poor condition of the cloth at this
point, this detail is not clear. Use: There is no indication of how this cloth may have originally
been used.
OO 366.4
This ind is made up of a single textile which is
now light brown in colour. There is no indication
of any colour or decoration. The size of the object makes it very diicult to draw any conclusions about the nature of this ind.
Fibre: animal? Size: 2.0 x 1.8 cm. Spin: z/z. Twist:
loose. Count: c.12 in the presumed warp; 22 in the
presumed wet. Weave: wet(?)-faced tabby
weave. Use: There is no indication of how this

11 Typology of the potery and glass
vessels
Introduction
In this study, it is emphatically not the intention
to present yet another typology. This chapter is
meant to give an up-to-date overview of what
we know from the archaeological literature
about the objects found in the Nijmegen Late
Roman cemeteries; and to apply that knowledge
to the inds presented here.
Gellep typology
For Roman potery and glass vessels, wherever
possible, the typology of the Late Roman cemetery of Krefeld-Gellep, Gellep for short, has
been followed. Most of that cemetery was excavated and published by Renate Pirling in her
studies of 1966, 1974, 1979, 1989, 1997 and 2003.
In 2006, Pirling and Siepen published the complete Roman typology of Gellep, and more emphatically than before they have the type numbers preceded by the place name Gellep. The
present study follows this example. For those
who prefer the type numbers of Chenet (1941)
for the Argonne terra sigillata and the glass type
numbers of Isings (1957), this number is added in
parentheses: Gellep 16 (= Chenet 335a); Gellep 700 (=
Isings 68). Four earlier types, surviving as heirlooms in the Late Roman cemeteries of Gellep
and Nijmegen and beter known under a diferent name, are given this beter-known name as
the second name ater their Gellep names:
Gellep 37 (= Dragendorf 18/31; type ig. 29);
Gellep 248 (= Drag. 27; type ig. 15); Gellep 550
(= Drag. 33; type ig. 14); and Gellep 31 (= Drag.
40; type ig. 23). This second name is also given
in the captions to the type igures. In the same
way, Niederbieber type numbers are added for
third-century shapes, and an Alzei type number
for a shape that lived on in the ith century. As
for glass types known from Trier (Goethert-Polaschek 1977), these names are likewise added in
text and captions as Trier.
In her 1966 study, Pirling (1966, 42-5) deined
the Roman potery wares, numbered A-G. In her
1997 study, she gives the completed list, now
without deinitions but with short paraphrases
(Pirling 1997, 131-2). This latest list is repeated
below; wherever potery wares were on second
thought dropped in 2006, this is mentioned in
the list below. Pirling’s classiication ater these
wares is followed, as is her order of shapes within each ware: pots, beakers, botles, one-handled jugs, double-handled jugs (in the present
study, the term amphora is exclusively used for
the large transport vessels and for a miniature
model of such an amphora), small bowls, bowls,
dishes, plates. Lids did not occur in Pirling’s irst
study; they appear here ater what they cover.
Problems in the Gellep typology
Several problems are connected to the Gellep
typology: type numbers, the Trier beakers, terra
nigra, and the glazed ware in Gellep.
Problem 1: type numbers
Firstly: many of the Gellep types could not, up to
2006, be used without further ado. Since her
irst study (Pirling 1966), in which she deined
the types Gellep 1-239, Pirling has added more
than six hundred types (in Pirling 1974: Gellep
240-311; Pirling 1979: Gellep 312-340; Pirling
1989: Gellep 341-543; Pirling 1997: Gellep 544717; Pirling 2003: Gellep 718-869). If one puts the
types distinguished per potery ware and shape
in a series, the result is a motley row of numbers,
as can be seen on Plates 1-48 in Pirling/Siepen
(2006). Whoever wants to consult Pirling/Siepen
(2006) with type numbers in mind must irst
make an index, because such an index is regrettably missing.
This inconvenience is circumvented in the
present study by two measures. Firstly, captions
on the present type plates are numbered 1...236,
ater which the Gellep type number is given.
These igure numbers return in the margin of the
section in which the type is discussed. Secondly,
the index in Appendix 3 gives the type numbers
in the present study in alfabetical and numerical
order, with caption number and date of the type.
Problem 2: the Trier beakers
More serious is the second problem. Pirling
(1966, 69-71) does not even try to deine types
269
—
within the most frequent category of the
cemeteries of Gellep (and Nijmegen), that of the
ine dark coloured beakers with narrow foot,
globular body and high conical neck. She groups
these in her types 58-62, without distinguishing
59-62 from one another and even confounding
the drawings of her types 60 and 61 (Pirling/
Siepen 2006, 89, n. 88; 90, n. 92). The problem is
not solved in Pirling/Siepen (2006), where very
short descriptions of the now many types leave
the user with the question, in which of the types
he must classify his own inds.
Moreover, in her irst study very few ine dark
coloured botles, jugs and bowls with painted
decoration occur.
Fortunately, two monographs appeared in the
nineties of the twentieth century which supply
this information: R.P. Symonds’ Rhenish Wares,
Fine Dark Coloured Potery from Gaul and Germany
(1992) for all ine dark coloured potery, and Die
Trierer Spruchbecherkeramik by Suzanna Künzl
(1997) for the ine dark coloured potery with
white (and sometimes some yellow) decoration.
Therefore, Pirling’s type numbers Gellep 58-62
and others, and those for other decorated ine
dark coloured potery are not used in the
present study, and replaced by Symonds’ group
numbers for the undecorated ine dark coloured
beakers, and Künzl’s shape numbers for the decorated beakers, botles, jugs and bowls.
In the case of the most frequent decorated dark
coloured beakers, Künzl 1.4.1, a further distinction seemed appropriate: addition of an m indicates a beaker with moto; addition of the leter
d, a beaker with decoration but without moto.
In the paragraphs dedicated to these small beakers below, Künzl’s classiication of this ware in
chronological groups I-V is discussed.
In the case of the far more frequent undecorated
ine dark coloured beakers a further distinction
has also been made according to the way the
poter used his spatula. This subdivision is discussed in the section on Symonds 61, below
(type igs. 48-53).
Besides all this detail, atention should also go
to the overall development. Künzl 1.4.1 and Sy-
monds 61 are two out of six types of the ine
dark coloured beaker from Trier with its narrow
foot, globular body and high conical neck. Both
Symonds (1992, 66) and Künzl (1997, 19-22) discuss it as their irst shape. Within this shape,
there are not only ive chronological groups, identiied by Künzl, and six types, presented by Symonds and Künzl, but also six size groups are distinguished below. Types and size groups overlap
in some cases. This will be discussed below, under potery ware C4, under the heading The Trier
beakers.
Problem 3: terra nigra
The most intricate problem in the Gellep typology is that of potery ware F7, terra nigra, both
in assigning Gellep types to that ware and in assigning a date or dates to the ware as a whole.
Terra nigra is not deined in Pirling/Siepen (2006,
174). I deine it as smoothened, burnished or
even polished potery with litle or no tempering
material, ired in a reducing atmosphere, sometimes smothered in order to obtain a black colour; it usually has a sheen, but no coating is
present; the colour of a clean break is usually the
same as that of the surface.
The insight that several Gellep types do belong
to potery ware F7, terra nigra, came slowly: in
Pirling/Siepen 2006, types that were irst treated
under diferent wares (C2 and C3, now both
dropped) have now been listed under the heading F7, terra nigra (2006, 174-191). Other types
have simply disappeared.
Thus, beaker Gellep 15 was irst called terra sigillata, ware B1 (Pirling 1966, 56), and is now called
terra nigra (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 179).
Footed bowl Gellep 51 (Pirling 1966, 67-8) belonged to ware C2 (grey sherd, lustrous black
coating). The ware was dropped in Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 84) and Gellep 51 is no longer
mentioned. The same shape was deined Gellep
131a (large) and 131b (small) in Frankish ware B
(smoothened potery ired in reducing atmosphere; Pirling 1966, 128-30). Gellep 51 and 131ab
have disappeared from Pirling/Siepen 2006 and
their places are apparently taken by the larger
270
—
Gellep 252 and the smaller Gellep 274 (Pirling/
Siepen 2006, 188-9) of potery ware F7, terra nigra. Decorated footed bowl Gellep 273 was, like
Gellep 274, irst listed under F5 (bluish grey
sherd: Pirling 1974, 57) and now under F7, terra
nigra. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 174) retains three
types in ware F5, bluish grey sherd, without explaining the diference with F7, terra nigra.
Globular pots Gellep 52 and 53 (Pirling 1966, 68)
irst belonged to ware C3 and now to F7, terra
nigra (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 180).
As for the question of date of terra nigra, this is
not discussed in Pirling/Siepen (2006, 174-91),
and the answer must be gathered from the dates
given there for individual Gellep types. There appear to be four chronological groups, divided by
quarter-centuries that each have only one type:
these dividing periods are Ic (= the third quarter
of the 1st century AD), IIc, and IIIb: see Table 9.
The late group is dated IIIc-Va, has a clear peak
in IVAB (= the irst two-thirds of the 4th century)
and has some later types, given in bold in Table
9. The conclusion must be that the art of making
terra nigra was never lost through four hundred
years at least, but that it was especially popular
from the late irst century to the irst half of the
second, and in the irst two-thirds of the fourth.

italics indicate types that completely fall within the
limits of the IVAB peak. Bold type numbers indicate

Problem 4: association with glazed ware in Gellep
Glazed potery, frequently occurring in Gellep
but never in Nijmegen (see below), is oten used
by Pirling to date other types. When the idea
about its date changes, other dates change with
it. So, though glazed potery is absent from Nijmegen, its date is important to other types that
do occur in Nijmegen.
The idea about its date shits indeed between
the Gellep publications of Pirling and that of
Pirling/Siepen (2006). Pirling (1966, 50-55; 1974,
30-34; 1979, 29-32) dates almost all Gellep
glazed types to IVB; only Gellep 11 is dated by an
associated coin of AD 326, and Gellep 243 and
244 are dated to IVAB.
So it comes as a surprise that Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 37) writes that the lead-glazed potery of
Gellep suddenly comes up around AD 320 and
was available until the middle of the fourth century (apparently the year AD 350), the latest associated coin being (incorrectly) dated AD 341.
But, Pirling/Siepen (2006, 38) adds, some glazed
pieces were kept as heirlooms because of their
rarity and got into graves of IVcd date.
Coin dates will help solve this problem. The rules
for using coin dates have been set out in Chapter
3: there are eight coin periods in the 4th century,
summed up in Table 1; the Nijmegen coins show
that they could survive no longer than into the
next coin period; so coin dates for graves with
one coin run from the earliest minting date of
the coin until the end of the subsequent coin period (this is the case for all Gellep graves in Table
10 but one); where two subsequent coin periods
are represented in one grave, the grave is dated
from the earliest minting date of its latest coin
to the end of the second coin period represented
(this is the case for grave Gellep 120, whose
brackets are narrowed down to AD 348 by the
coin from that year).
When we apply these rules to the Gellep graves
with both glazed potery and a coin or coins, we
get brackets for the dates of the graves: see Table 10. This shows, as far as the coin evidence
goes, that the widest bracket for the date of
271
—
glazed potery in Gellep is formed by the years
AD 299 and AD 348, and the smallest by the
years AD 318 and 348. The later bracket its in
well with the changed idea about its date, 320350 (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 37).
The conclusion seems to be that the new date
for glazed potery is correct: AD 318-348 is what
the coin evidence suggests.

Gellep types not in Nijmegen
Of course, the potery series of Gellep and Nijmegen are not identical. Gellep ware A, glazed
potery, is clearly a local product (Pirling/Siepen
2006, 37) and does not occur in Nijmegen. Although glazed potery seems to have been
found once in the inner city of Nijmegen, and so
possibly in the Late Roman cemetery, (J.R.A.M.
Thijssen, pers. comm.), I have not been able to
ind it in documentation or museum depot.
Nijmegen types not in Gellep
The reverse also happens: some shapes presented here (unfortunately oten stray inds) do not
have a parallel in Gellep, and so other existing
typologies had to be consulted. With terra sigillata, Chenet (1941) is then referred to. For
smooth potery: Brunsting (1937) and Stuart
(1963). For some coarse and smoked wares: the
publications of the limes fortresses Niederbieber
(inhabited AD 190-260; Oelmann 1914) and Alzei
(AD 370-400 and 406-450; Unverzagt 1916; it will
be clear that the typology of Gellep and Nijmegen largely ills the chronological gap between
Niederbieber and Alzei). Siegmund (1998) is referred to for Frankish potery. Gose (1950) is useful when everything else fails. New types not in
one of these typologies get the name Nijmegen
plus the number of the caption; so the Nijmegen
types are numbered discontinuously; as a rule,
they are unique pieces and stray inds. All these
30 Nijmegen types will be found in Appendix 3 in
alfabetical and numerical order, with caption
numbers and, where possible, date.
Numbered drawings on type plates
With this multitude of typologies referred to, a
numbering of its own could not be avoided for
the present study: that of the drawings on the typology plates. The caption of each drawing consists of igure number, followed by a full stop
and type name and number: 1. Chenet 334c; 2.
Gellep 14 et cetera. Wherever a new shape is
shown on the present typology plates, the caption is made by the igure number followed by a
full stop, Nijmegen and the same number: 4. Nijmegen 4 et cetera.
Potery wares
The potery wares, as enumerated by Pirling
(1997, 131-2), plus a new ware B3, deined by the
present author, are the following. Wares
dropped in Pirling/Siepen (2006) are indicated
with an asterisk *.
A Glazed ware
B Lustrous potery ired in an oxydizing atmosphere:
B1 terra sigillata
B2 imitations of terra sigillata
B3 reddish sherd, red or white coating
272
—
C Potery ired in an oxydizing atmosphere, with
a lustrous coating ired in a reducing
atmosphere:
C1 reddish brown sherd, black metallic coating
C2* grey sherd, lustrous black coating
(dropped in Pirling/Siepen 2006, 84)
C3* greyish black sherd, faintly lustrous black
coating (dropped in Pirling/Siepen 2006,
84)
C4 reddish brown sherd, faintly lustrous greyish black coating
C5 reddish sherd, thin chocolate brown coating
C6*light ochre-coloured sherd, lustrous reddish brown coating (dropped in Pirling/
Siepen 2006, 100)
C7 yellowish white sherd, thin lustrous brown
coating
D Potery with non-lustrous slip:
D1* ochre-coloured sherd, dull dirty reddish
brown slip (dropped in Pirling/Siepen
2006, 101)
D2*light sherd, transparent manganese-coloured slip (dropped in Pirling/Siepen
2006, 101)
D3 light reddish brown sherd, ochre-coloured
slip outside, dull dark reddish brown slip
inside
D4 reddish brown sherd, greyish black slip
D5 white sherd, reddish ochre-coloured slip
D6 white sherd, greyish black slip
D7 white sherd, black slip strewn with sand
D8 white sherd, inside with reddish ochre-coloured slip and strewn with sand
D9 white sherd, spoted brown ochre-coloured slip
E Marbled potery:
E1 brown-marbled potery
E2 red-marbled potery
E3 white sherd, outside smooth, inside redmarbled
F Smooth potery:
F1 yellowish white sherd, smoothened carefully
F2 reddish ochre-coloured sherd
F3 dark grey sherd
F4 brownish grey sherd
F5 bluish grey sherd
F6* greyish white sherd with sot tempering
particles (dropped in Pirling/Siepen 2006,
174)
F7 terra nigra
F8* imitation of terra nigra (no longer mentioned in Pirling/Siepen 2006)
F9 reddish sherd, surface polished, locally
smothered greyish black
G Coarse potery
Coarse potery, in most cases meant as cookingvessels, was made ire-proof and resistant to
thermic shock (sudden cooling of the hot vessel
with cold water) by adding large quantities of
tempering material (Gose 1950, 40). Pirling does
not, in her list, distinguish fabrics that could reveal something about date and provenance. In
her typology, however, she does sometimes
make this distinction (Pirling 1966, 83-96).
Pirling/Siepen (2006) mentions diferent fabrics
in the discussion of frequent types (e.g. Gellep
66, 105, 106, 109, 115). Wherever visible to the
naked eye (for lack of a mineralogic potery
analysis), a distinction is made in the present
study between three production centres in the
Eifel (Gose 1950, 40):
coarse volcanic tempering material, from
Mayen;
large quantity of ine tempering material,
from Urmitz;
greyish brown sherd with quartz sand, from
Speicher.

ROMAN POTTERY
B1 Terra sigillata
Fig.
1 Chenet 334c: 1 example
Small oval terra sigillata beaker on a hollow cylindrical foot and with a proiled neck.
Example: OO stray 17.
Discussion: Type Chenet 334 (Chenet 1941, 84,
Pl.17) occurs in Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated just
before AD 360 by 215 coins (Chenet 1941, 20 and
154) and in Allieux-B, dated just before AD 360
as well (Chenet 1941, 154). Pirling (1974, 35)
considers it a Gellep 14. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 47)
identiies Chenet 334bc with Gellep 14, discussed
immediately below.
Date: IVc
2 Gellep 14: 8 examples
Small oval neckless terra sigillata beaker on high
conical foot.
Examples: B 181.1, B 217.1, B 218.1, B 686.2, B stray
118, OO 13.1, OO stray 73, OO stray 74.
Discussion: Gellep 14 is the undecorated version
of Chenet 334bc, treated immediately above.
Pirling (1966, 56) considers Gellep 14 a not too
good imitation of Gellep 16 and dates it IVcd
because of the association with a Gellep 106
with ‘sickle-shaped proile’ (see however the
discussion below of Gellep 105 and Gellep 106,
type igs. 130-131) and with a glass ribbed beaker
Gellep 189. Pirling (1974, 35) mentions two examples in graves with coins of AD 316 and 320.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 47) mentions examples
from Gellep dated by coins of the years 308, 310,
316 and 320; they date one example to IVB because of association with a glazed jug (see however the discussion of the date of glazed potery
above); they repeat the date of IVcd, contested
above.
Date: IVAB.
3 Gellep 15: 2 examples
Small oval terra sigillata beaker with short neck
and cylindrical foot.
Examples: B 470.1, B 654.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 56) dates one example
to IV and one to IVd-Va. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
179, n. 49) assigns the only example of Gellep 15
no longer to terra sigillata but to terra nigra and
dates the imitation to IVd-Va.
Date: IV.
4 Nijmegen 4: 1 example
Small terra sigillata beaker with cylindrical foot,
oval body and high neck.
Example: OO stray 19.
Discussion: To be considered a variant of Gellep
14.
Date: IVAB.
5 Gellep 16 (= Chenet 335a): 7 examples
Oval terra sigillata beaker with hollow proiled
foot (Zapfenfuß, pied à bourrelet), short proiled
neck and barbotine decoration under the lustrous coating.
Examples: B 41.1, B 470.2, B stray 269, OO 59.2,
OO stray 43, OO stray 72, OO stray 75.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, 85) mentions examples
as early as AD 260 and 272. Pirling (1966, 56-7)
dates one example to IVab, a second one to IVcd
and assumes the shape had a long life. She later
(1974, 35) dates two examples to IVB (in spite of
coins of AD 303 and 305) because of association
with a glazed jug and a Gellep 186 (see however
the discussion of the date of glazed potery
above). Pirling (1979, 32) mentions an example
associated with a coin of AD 307, many potery
vases of IVAB and a glass beaker Gellep 191, and
therefore dates it to IVB. So Gellep 16 seems to
occur throughout IV. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 47-8),
however, dates the type to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
6 Gellep 17 (= Chenet 333): 2 examples
Small oval terra sigillata beaker with wide mouth
and cylindrical foot.
Examples: B stray 213, B stray 263.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, 81) dates this shape to
IV. Nenquin (1953, 30-33) dates two examples in
Furfooz to IVB. Pirling (1966, 57) follows Nenquin. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 47) dates the two
274
—
Gellep examples to IVcd.
Date: IVBC.
dates the type to IIId-IVa.
Date: IIId-IVa.
7 Gellep 246 (= Chenet 337): 2 examples
Terra sigillata beaker with high neck, hollow proiled foot (Zapfenfuß) and barbotine decoration
under the lustrous coating.
Examples: B 410.1, B stray 141.
Discussion: Pirling (1974, 35-6) dates two examples to IVab because of accompanying grave
goods and sees conirmation for this date in a
grave at Netersheim (BJ 163 (1963) 210 ig. 5,3).
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 48) dates the two Gellep
examples to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
10 Chenet 343a: 2 examples
One-handled terra sigillata jug (lagoena) with
proiled mouth and tripartite handle; white
painted decoration.
Examples: B stray 129, OO 44.1.
Discussion: Third-century shape, occurring also in
IV: Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated to just before AD
360 on the basis of 215 coins (Chenet 1941, 20
and 154).
Date: III-IVB.
8 Nijmegen 8: 1 example
Terra sigillata botle with lat botom (drawn in
during drying), latish globular body, constricted
zone at transition to narrow and high, slightly
tapering, neck; grooves and white painted decoration on the shoulder.
Example: OO 153.1.
Discussion: The unique shape of this botle is an
imitation of the blown glass shape Isings 103 (=
Gellep 522): the constricted zone at the transition shoulder-neck has been taken over here as
an elegant element of form; the three grooves
on the terra sigillata botle imitate incised lines
on the glass example. Isings (1957, 121-2) classiies the shape to III, but dates three examples to
IIId-IVa and three to IVab. A comparable North
African botle of El-Aouja ware with relief appliqués is also reduced to Isings 103 and dated to III
(La Baume/Salomonson n.d., 145 no. 589, Pl.
58,1).
Date: IIId-IVab.
9 Gellep 20 (= Niederbieber 27): 1 example
One-handled terra sigillata jug with proiled
foot, globular body, narrow neck and conical
mouthpiece.
Example: B stray 70.
Discussion: Third-century shape dated by Pirling
(1966, 57-8) in Gellep once to III and once to IVB:
a long-lived shape. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 50)
11 Chenet 343c: 3 examples
Small one-handled terra sigillata jug with proiled mouth and bipartite handle; white painted
decoration.
Examples: B stray 233, B stray 271, OO 92.1.
Discussion: Dated as Chenet 343a above.
Date: III-IVB.
12 Chenet 345b: 2 examples
One-handled terra sigillata jug with wide body
and white painted decoration.
Examples: B 232.1, B stray 232.
Discussion: Third-century shape (Oelmann 1914,
ig. 27), also occurring in IV: Lavoye, Sépulture A,
dated to just before AD 360 on the basis of 215
coins (Chenet 1941, 20 and 154).
Date: III-IVB.
13 Chenet 348: 1 example
One-handled terra sigillata jug with globular
body, long conical neck, wide round mouth with
pinched spout and bipartite handle.
Example: B stray 25.
Discussion: This is the terra sigillata version of a
fourth-century shape that also occurs in imitation of terra sigillata (Gellep 43), in marbled ware
(Gellep 70) and in smooth ware (Gellep 79-81).
See also there for date. Chenet’s igure on Pl. 21
gives an example from Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated to just before AD 360 on the basis of 215 coins
(Chenet 1941, 20 and 154).
Date: IVab.

14 Gellep 550 (= Dragendorf 33): 3 examples
Small conical terra sigillata bowl with foot-ring.
Examples: B 219.1, OO stray 76-77.
Discussion: This long-lived shape corresponds to
Gellep 23 and 550, Niederbieber 9 and Alzei 14.
Pirling (1966, 58) dates the only example of
Gellep 23 known then in Gellep to IVA. Pirling
(1979, 33) dates Gellep grave 2711, in which the
second example was found, to IVb. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 55) shits the second of these
small examples to Gellep 550, dated IIa-IVb.
Date: IIa-IVb.
15 Gellep 248 (= Dragendorf 27): 1 example
Small terra sigillata bowl with indented wall and
foot-ring.
Example: B 674.3.
Discussion: This shape occurs from the reign of
Augustus to IId. Pirling (1974, 38) supposes for
that reason that the example in Gellep grave
1883, dated IVA, is a reused old piece. This is also
valid for our example (a botom with foot-ring,
probably used upside down as a drinking cup),
which can be dated to AD 65-85 on the basis of
its retrograde stamp OMOM = MOMO (Polak
2000, 274 no. M100). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 52)
dates the type to Ia-IId and notes that it was
used as an old type in two graves dated IIIc-IVb.
Date: IC.
16 Gellep 24 (= Niederbieber 8a): 1 example
Small terra sigillata bowl with horizontal rim and
foot-ring.
Example: B stray 122.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 59) dates the only Gellep
example then to IIId because of its association
with a coin of Carus (282-283). Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 56) dates its last example to IIId.
Date: IIId.
17 Gellep 25 (= Chenet 324c, small): 9 examples
Small terra sigillata bowl with carinated wall
with moulding and vertical upper wall, moulding
at rim.
Examples: B 182.1, B 215.1, B 818.1, B stray 26, B
stray 295, OO 98.1, OO 243.1, OO 484.1, OO stray
78.
Discussion: This bowl is distinguished only by its
smaller size from bowl Gellep 35; from Gellep 26,
by the moulding at its rim. Chenet (1941, 73)
mentions its provenance from Arretium and
possibly Asia minor, referring to Holwerda (1936,
Pl. IV, 504 and 508); he discusses its development up to IV. Pirling (1966, 59) dates an example ater AD 313 on the base of an associated
coin; three others to IVab-IVB. Pirling (1974,
36-7) repeats this date, as well as Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 60).
Date: IVAB.
18 Gellep 26: 5 examples
Terra sigillata bowl with carinated bowl with
moulding, upper wall vertical, no moulding at
rim.
Examples: B 383.1, B 762.intr., B stray 44?, OO
133.1, OO stray 79.
Discussion: This type is distinguished from Gellep
25 by the absence of a moulding at the rim.
Pirling (1966, 59) dates the only Gellep example
then to IVB. Pirling (1974, 37) has one example,
dated ater AD 317 on the basis of an associated
coin, and two to IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 60-1)
also dates it to IVab.
Date: IVab.
19 Nijmegen 19: 1 example
Small terra sigillata bowl with low foot-ring, vertical wall and horizontal rim.
Example: B stray 44.
Discussion: No drawing being available just before
this study goes in press, not possible.
Date: ?
20 Gellep 27 (= Chenet 314b): 1 example
Small hemispherical terra sigillata bowl with
horizontal lip ending in mouldings up and down.
Example: OO stray 2.
Discussion: This type whose history goes back to
Olbia and Pergamon is current in IV (Chenet
1941, 67-8). It is an imitation of a metal shape
(Chenet 1941, 67; Pirling 1966, 59) and occurs in
Haillot and Vieuxville even in V (Pirling 1966, 59).
276
—
Pirling (1974, 37) mentions two examples in
Gellep: one c.AD 400, one in IVB. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 57) combines Gellep 27 and 28 but still
treats them as two diferent types and dates
them to IVab but mentions examples up to Va.
Date: IVa-Va.
21 Gellep 29: 7 examples
Small terra sigillata bowl with everted lip.
Examples: B 176.3, B 372.1, B 764.1, B stray 61, B
stray 64, OO 476.1, OO stray 55.
Discussion: This type, not mentioned by Chenet, is
dated by Pirling (1966, 60) to IVAB because of
association with a coin and its absence in IVd-Va.
Pirling (1974, 37) mentions eleven examples, all
also dated to IVAB. Pirling (1979, 33) repeats this
date for ive new examples. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 59-60) dates them to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
22 Gellep 30 (= Chenet 319a): 6 examples
Small hemispherical terra sigillata bowl with
thickened rim.
Examples: B 207.1, B stray 120, OO 273.1, OO 463.1,
OO stray 20, OO stray 80.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, 69) dates this shape
throughout IV. Pirling (1966, 61) dates the only
Gellep example to Va on the basis of a coin of
c.AD 400. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 65) mentions two
examples, both dated to Va.
Date: IV-Va.
23 Gellep 31 (= Dragendorf 40, Chenet 302): 3 examples
Small calote-shaped terra sigillata bowl on high
conical foot-ring.
Examples: B 234.1, OO 26.1, OO 186.1.
Discussion: This shape, corresponding to Niederbieber 10 and occurring mainly in III, is mentioned by Chenet in Allieux-B and dated c.AD 360
(Chenet 1941, 59 and 154) and Avocourt C, which
stops ater Gratian (375-383; Chenet 1941, 59 and
155). Pirling (1966, 61) dates the only Gellep
example then to IIId-IVa because of its association with a beaker Gellep 58 (= Künzl 1.6.1).
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 52-3) dates the type to IIc-
IIIC.
Date: III-IVB.
24 Gellep 32: 1 example
Small terra sigillata bowl without foot-ring and
with everted rim.
Example: B 88.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1996, 61) mentions IVab Cologne graves and dates the two examples of
Gellep 32 and the nine of Gellep 33 to IVAB.
Pirling (1974, 37-8) repeats this date for nine
Gellep examples, and Pirling (1979, 33) for one.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 58-9) dates the type to IIId-IVab.
Date: IIId-IVb.
25 Gellep 34 (= Chenet 320): 32 examples
Calote-shaped terra sigillata bowl with round
moulding for a rim and usually with roulete
decoration.
Examples: B 41.2, B 81.1, B 137.1, B 250.1, B 465.1, B
484.intr., B 674.1, B 674.2, B 715.1, B 745.1, B
764.2, B 773.1, B 792.1, B stray 50, B stray 169, B
stray 191, B stray 223, OO 63.1, OO 340.1, OO
472.1, OO 473.1, OO stray 3, OO stray 81-89; OO
28.3, a rim sherd, is an intrusion.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, 69-72) mentions the
Megarian bowl as inspiration and argues that
this shape is developed from Dragendorf 37. He
dates the numerous examples with roulete decoration throughout IV. Unverzagt (1919, 12) sees
a development from Niederbieber 16 with incised decoration. Pirling (1966, 61-2) dates a
Gellep example to IVAB, one to IVd-Va, and one
to Vab. Pirling (1974, 38) has one IVab example.
Pirling (1979, 33-34) dates Gellep grave 2344,
which contains a Gellep 34, to phase I of the
Frankish graves, i.e. Va, because of metal inds
and a W-E-orientation of the grave. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 63-5) follows the groups of rouletted decoration deined and dated by Hübener
(1968, deinitions 257-66, absolute dates 27982) and dates most Gellep examples to IVcd-Va.
As for the Nijmegen examples, Hübener’s groups
1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are present, totalling 17 examples;
5 other examples have unclear decoration, an-
277
—
other 7 are undecorated. Dijkman (1992, 151, ig.
19) gives partly new dates for Hübener’s groups,
corrected according to Maastricht data; these
are given below ater Hübener’s dates and preceded by D:.
New work on the rouletes by L. Bakker, W. Dijkman and P. van Ossel is announced by Bakker
(2007). As this new work seems not to have been
published yet, Hübener’s dates are followed in
the present study.
Group Hübener 1, egg mouldings: B stray 191, OO
63.1. Group 2, small rectangles: B 81.1, B 773.1,
OO 340.1, OO 473.1, OO stray 82, OO stray 87-9.
Group 3, oblique hatching: B 745.1. Group 5, St
Andrew’s cross and quincunx: B stray 223, OO
472.1. Group 5/6: B 484.intr., OO stray 3. Group
6, groups of six points: B 465.1. Unnumbered
group: B 137.1.
Dates: for the potery shape IVa-Vb.
For Hübener’s groups of roller-stamps:
Group 1, egg mouldings: AD 320-350
(D: AD
330-360)
Group 2, small rectangles: AD 330-365
(D:
AD 325-400)
Group 3, oblique hatching: AD 340-365
(D:
AD 330-450)
Group 4, horizontal and vertical hatching: AD
345-375 (D: AD 375-450)
Group 5, St Andrew’s cross and quincunx: AD
355-395 (D: AD 330-450)
Group 6, groups of six points: AD 385-425
(D: AD 350-450)
Group 7, complicated paterns: AD 395-425
(D: AD 330-450)
Unnumbered, cross-hatching: AD 380-425
(D: AD 375-450)
Group 8, Christian symbols: AD 400-440
(D: AD 400-525)
26 Gellep 35 (= Chenet 324c, large): 15 examples
Terra sigillata carinated bowl with moulding on
the carina and a vertical upper wall.
Examples: B 176.2, B 427.1, B 742.1, B stray 53, B
stray 119, B stray 237, OO 9.1, OO 30.1, OO 101.1,
OO 168.1, OO 181.1, OO 299.1, OO 322.1, OO
354.2, OO stray 4.
Discussion: This bowl is distinguished only by its
larger size from bowl Gellep 25. Chenet (1941, 73)
mentions its provenance from Arretium and
possibly Asia minor, referring to Holwerda (1936,
Pl. IV, 504 and 508); he discusses its development up to IV. Pirling (1966, 62) mentions three
Gellep graves, which she dates (IVab to) IVAB,
but refers to Qualburg inds that date the shape
up to the end of IV. Pirling (1974, 38) repeats her
date for nine new Gellep examples and says
there are no indications that this type goes on as
long in Gellep as it does in Qualburg. Pirling
(1979, 34) dates four new examples again to
IVAB. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 66-7) dates the type
in Gellep to IVAB, but mentions Trier and Echternach, where the shape was kept in use throughout IV, respectively up to Vb.
Date: IVAB.
27 Gellep 36: 4 examples
Terra sigillata bowl with carinated wall, convex
above the carina and with a moulding on the carina.
Examples: B 435.1 (undecorated), B stray 265 (undecorated), OO 168.2 (barbotine), OO stray 90
(barbotine).
Discussion: Pirling identiies Gellep 36 with
Chenet 325. Chenet, however, takes barbotine
decoration as a criterium, not a convex wall.
Chenet (1941, 75) shows this to be a third-century shape (such as Niederbieber 19) which continues without changes into IV. Additional examples in Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated to just before
AD 360 on the basis of 215 coins (Chenet 1941, 20
and 154), in Avocourt C, which stops ater Gratian (375-383; Chenet 1941, 59 and 155); and in
Allieux-B, dated c.AD 360 (Chenet 1941, 59 and
154). These bring its date to IVB. Pirling (1966,
62-63) has two examples from IVab, and one in
IV. Pirling (1974, 38-39) has an example from IVa.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 66) dates almost all Gellep
examples to IVab.
Date: IVAB.
28 Gellep 249: 4 examples
Terra sigillata mortarium with two bat’s ears
278
—
above the spout.
Examples: B 59.1, B stray 66, OO 252.2, OO stray
91.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, 76-79) does not recognize this carelessly made descendant of Dragendorf 45. Pirling (1974, 39) says it is the only mortarium remaining in fourth-century Gellep, sees
Niederbieber 22 as its forerunner and Alzei 3 as
its descendant. Of the two Gellep examples, she
dates one IVAB, the other IVA. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 68) repeats this date.
Date: IVAB.
29 Gellep 37 (= Dragendorf 18/31): 9 examples
Terra sigillata plate with maker’s stamp.
Examples: B 14.1, B 54.1, B stray 7, B stray 268, OO
168.3, OO stray 27, OO stray 40-1, OO stray 92.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 63) mentions a single
Gellep example, dated to IIB by its stamp COMINIVSF. She gives two possible explanations
for this second-century plate in a fourth-century
grave: either an heirloom or a ind from a grave
of two centuries old. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 6970) simply calls it an old piece. Bloemers, cited
by Lauwerier (1988, 79), also points out the
discrepancy for OO 168.3. With three examples
found in Nijmegen fourth-century graves during
excavation, there can be no doubt that this old
type was really still used in IV. The frequency in
Nijmegen suggests heirlooms still in more or less
general use.
The stamps occurring are BASSI (OO stray 41),
CELSINVSF (B stray 7), LOSSA FEC (B stray 268),
MARTIALFE (OO stray 92), MEDDICFI (B 54.1),
MODEST F (OO stray 40) and OF CRES (OO stray
27). Bassus (i) worked at La Graufesenque [1], AD
50-70 (Polak 2000, 177-82). Crestio worked at La
Graufesenque c.AD 50-110 (Polak 2000, 213-6).
Modestus’ stamp is from La Graufesenque [1] and
dated AD 40-65 (Polak 2000, 272). Dr M. Polak
kindly gave the following references for the other stamps. Celsinus: from the Argonnes,
Boucheporn, Chémery-Faulquemont, Itenweiler
and Sinzig, c.AD 130-160; see e.g. Bloemers/
Sarfatij 1976, 153, no. 32. Lossa: c.AD 130-160;
distribution and ware suggest La Madeleine
rather than Trier; see e.g. Bloemers/Sarfatij 1976,
155, no. 74 (atribution to Trier there erroneous).
Martialis: from Chémery-Faulquemont, c.AD 100130; see e.g. Bloemers/Sarfatij 1976, 155, nos 8485. Meddicus: from Chémery-Faulquemont, c.AD
100-130; see e.g. Bloemers/Sarfatij 1976, 155, nos
88-90.
Date: IB-IIC.
30 Gellep 38: 42 examples
Large terra sigillata plate on foot-ring with convex wall and in-turned rim.
Examples: B 90.1, B 151.1, B 186.1, B 189.1, B 207.2,
B 217.2, B 293.1, B 381.1, B 470.3, B 686.1, B 722.1,
B 741.1, B 744.1, B 764.3, B 766.1, B 779.2, B stray
62, B stray 121, B stray 123, B stray 124, B stray
130, B stray 186, B stray 187, B stray 257, B stray
302, OO 59.1, OO 94.1, OO 161.1, OO 196.1, OO
461.1, OO stray 5, OO stray 6, OO stray 22, OO
stray 56, OO stray 93-100.
Discussion: This is the most frequent terra sigillata
plate in fourth-century Gellep and Nijmegen.
There is no good parallel in Chenet (1941). It is
certainly not the same as Chenet 306 with its
proiled lip, mentioned by Pirling (1966, 63).
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 72) identiies it with Chenet
304A and dates most exemples in Gellep to IVab.
However, Chenet 304A is deeper and occurs only
twice in Chenet (1941, 61). So its provenance is an
unsolved problem.
The smallest diameter of the Nijmegen examples
is 16.2, the largest 31.4 cm. As there are two gaps
in this range, the irst between 21.0 and 23.4 cm,
the second between 26.0 and 28.0 cm, there are
three size groups: small 16.2-21.0, medium 23.426, and large 28-31.4 cm: 18, 16 and 7 examples,
respectively. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 72) recognizes
two sizes in Gellep: 17-20 and 22-28 cm.
Pirling (1966, 63) dates one example to IIId and
the other iteen ones to IVAB. Pirling (1974, 39)
has three example in graves dated by coins of
AD 307 and 313, two of IVB, and one dated as
late as IVcd, on the basis of an association with a
bowl Gellep 122 (see however the discussion of
Gellep 122, type ig. 151).
Date: IIId-IVB.

31 Gellep 39 (= Chenet 306): 15 examples
Large terra sigillata plate on foot-ring, with oblique wall and proiled vertical lip.
Examples: B 86.1, B 181.2, B 191.1, B 219.2, B 234.2,
B 481.1, B stray 65, B stray 224, OO 26.2, OO 62.1,
OO 98.2, OO 101.2, OO 200.1, OO 207.1, OO stray
101.
The smallest diameter of the Nijmegen examples is 18.5, the largest 26 cm. As there is a gap in
this range between 22.0 and 23.7 cm, there are
two sizes: small 18.5-22, medium 23.7-26 cm: 9
and 7 examples, respectively. There is no large
size, as in Gellep 38 and Gellep 40.
Discussion: Pirling/Siepen (2006, 73) identiies it
with Chenet 306 and Alzei 7. Pirling (1966, 64)
has one example associated with a coin of AD
313; she dates the other ive examples from
three graves IVab or IVB. Pirling (1974, 40) dates
two graves with this type to IVA on the basis of
coins and other grave goods, and the other
twelve examples in eleven graves to IVab or IVB.
Pirling (1979, 34-35) dates four graves in which a
Gellep 39 occurs to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
32 Gellep 40 (= Chenet 304b): 18 examples
Terra sigillata plate on foot-ring, with lat oblique wall and vertical lip.
Examples: B 16.1, B 176.1, B 367.1, B 465.2, B 704.1,
OO 168.4, OO 252.1, OO 316.1, OO 339.1, OO
339.2, OO 354.1, OO 356.1, OO 400.1, OO 475.1,
OO stray 44, OO stray 64, OO stray 102, OO stray
318.
Discussion: The smallest diameter of the Nijmegen examples is 17.7, the largest one 30.7. As
there are two gaps in this range, the irst between 17.7 and 20.5 cm, the second between
25.5 and 28.5 cm, there are three size groups:
small 17.7, medium 20.5-25.5, and large 28.530.6 cm: 1, 10 and 3 examples, respectively.
Chenet (1941, 60) metaphorically calls his type
304 (together with his 320 = bowl Gellep 34) a
true guide fossil of the fourth century. This
shape, which according to Pirling (1966, 64) can
vary considerably in the shape of its lip without
chronological consequences, is dated by her IV-
VB: two examples in IVab, three in IVab or IVB,
one in IVcd, two in IVd-Va, and one in VB (Frankish grave 43). Pirling (1974, 40) mentions ive examples from IVab or IVB. Pirling (1979, 35) dates
an example to IVcd on the basis of an association with a glass barrel botle Isings 128 (= Gellep
213), which according to her occurs not earlier
than IVcd: see below, Isings 128. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 72-3) calls the type a further development
of Gellep 38 and mentions the tendency of a rim
that is slanted outwards in the VAB examples.
Date: IVa-VB.
33 Gellep 41 (= Chenet 313): 7 examples
Terra sigillata plate with horizontal lip, the end
of which is thickened.
Examples: B 80.1, B 94.1, B 199.1, B 372.2, OO
144.1, OO stray 39, OO stray 103.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 64) identiies this type
with Alzei 12 and Chenet 317 (later one incorrectly). Chenet (1941, 63) calls his type 313 a guide
fossil of the fourth century. Pirling (1966, 64)
mentions two examples in graves with coins of
AD 306 and 308, and one from a grave that can
be dated just before AD 350; she inds no indication for a later date. Pirling (1974, 40) changes
this lightly: one with a coin of AD 305, four
graves from IVab or IVB. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
74-5) repeats this date.
Date: IVAB.
34 Chenet 313i: 1 example
Terra sigillata plate with rouleted decoration on
its lip, which has a z-proile at its rim.
Example: OO stray 57.
Discussion: This plate, conspicuous by its shape,
lip form and decoration is a variant of Gellep 41
= Chenet 313.
Date: IVAB.
35 Dragendorf 32 (= Ludowici Ta): 1 example
Terra sigillata plate with inturning rim.
Example: OO 153.2.
Discussion: The only example of this Rheinzabern
shape wears the otherwise unknown (M. Polak,
pers. comm.) stamp ATLASFEC. Schönberger
280
—
(1983) dates this plate AD 175-260. The example
of Drag. 18/31 (= Gellep 37, type ig. 29) shows
that it may be a heirloom.
Date: IId-IIIB.
36 Gellep 563 (= Niederbieber 5b): 1 example
Calote-shaped terra sigillata plate with incised
decoration, rim slightly everted.
Example: OO stray 104.
Discussion: Niederbieber 5b = Gellep 563 is shown
by Pirling (1997, Typentafel 2) but not discussed,
just as other new types. The Nijmegen example
with its thin base within the foot-ring shows an
extreme example of hollowing out within the
foot-ring. This is briely mentioned by Chenet
(1941, 7). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 71) dates the type
to IId-IIIb.
Date: IId-IIIb.
37 Chenet 301: 1 example
Small calote-shaped terra sigillata plate without
foot-ring or lip.
Example: OO 44.2.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, 59) mentions this type
in Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated to just before AD
360 on the basis of 215 coins (Chenet 1941, 20
and 154) and in Allieux-B, dated c.AD 360
(Chenet 1941, 59 and 154).
Date: IVc.
B2 Imitations of terra sigillata
38 ± Chenet 333h: 1 example
Small tulip-shaped reddish brown beaker with
white painted decoration.
Example: B 480.1.
Discussion: The parallel in Chenet (1941, 82 and Pl.
XVI) comes from the well of champs 790 at Lavoye, whose contents are dated ater AD 375
(Chenet 1941, 25 and 154).
Date: IVd.
39 Gellep 42: 5 examples
Brown-marbled or red painted small jug with
constricted foot and bipartite handle beginning
on the greatest diameter.
Examples: B 676.2, B 702.4, B 705.intr., B stray 49,
OO stray 105.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 65) remarks that this jug
occurs in both potery ware B2 (imitation of terra sigillata) and F2 (smooth potery with reddish
ochre-coloured sherd). Brown-marbled potery
(E1) may now be added. She dates the two jugs
to IVab and IVB. Pirling (1974, 41) dates a Gellep
42 to IVB because of the association with a
twisted bracelet. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 76) dates
the type to IVab.
Date: IVAB.
40 Gellep 43 (= Chenet 348): 11 examples
Globular one-handled jug with long conical
neck, wide round mouth with pinched spout,
bipartite handle, of red painted potery with a
decoration painted in dull red.
Examples: B 680.1, B 779.1, B stray 222, B stray
318, OO 478.1, OO stray 106-111.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, 99) mentions examples
from Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated to just before
AD 360 on the basis of 215 coins (Chenet 1941, 20
and 154) and in Allieux-B, dated c.AD 360
(Chenet 1941, 59 and 154). Pirling (1966, 65) remarks that this model occurs in four potery
wares: B2 (imitations of terra sigillata), E1
(brown-marbled), F (smooth) and G (coarse):
Gellep 43, Gellep 70, Gellep 80 and Gellep 114
respectively; C4 (reddish brown sherd, faintly
lustrous greyish black coating) may be added
now: B 199.2. She dates one of the Gellep 43 examples to IIIcd-IVa, one to IVd-Va, and one to
IVcd. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 77-8) dates the type
in Gellep to IVBC and mentions examples in
Mayen from IVcd.
Date: IVa-d.
B3 Reddish sherd, red or white slip
41 Gellep 45: 2 examples
Jug with proiled band-shaped lip and sometimes a moulding on the neck, of light red or
dark coloured potery.
Examples: B 702.2, B 702.3.
281
—
Discussion: Ware B3, newly deined here, occurs in
one grave only, B 702. It shapes are those of ine
dark coloured ware, C4. It must have been made
just ater the production of ware C4 stopped
with the devastation of Trier AD 355. This dates
ware B3 and grave B 702 to the years AD 355360. Pirling (1966, 66) remarks that Gellep 45,
inspired by metal examples, also occurs in dark
colour coated and smooth potery. She dates the
Gellep example of Gellep 45 to IVab or IVB.
Pirling (1974, 41) arrives at the same date and so
does Pirling/Siepen (2006, 76-7).
Date: AD 355-360.
42 Nijmegen 42: 1 example
Small angular variant of jug Künzl 12.3.1.
Example: B 702.5
Discussion: The angularity, the small size and the
rare ware of this unique piece all point in the
same direction: a late imitation of Künzl 12.3.1.
Date: AD 355-360.
A scater diagram of the proportions
height:width and total height:height of neck of
these ive beakers, of all Symonds’ igures of his
group 32, and of those of his group 61 showed
these ive beakers to be nearer to Symonds 61
than to Symonds 32. They have been relegated
to Symonds 61 smooth, to be discussed below.
Date: IVAB.
45 Symonds 35 (=Niederbieber 33c): 2 examples
Fine dark coloured indented beaker with long
oval dents.
Examples: OO stray 121, Remainder stray 4.
Discussion: Symonds (1992, 49-53 and ig. 27)
dates his group 35 in III because of their short
conical necks. The shape corresponds to Niederbieber 33c (Oelmann 1914, Pl. 2) and is dated by
Gose (1950, 18, Pl. 14) both in IIIab (no 206) and
in III generally (no 207).
Date: IIIa-d.
43 Symonds 14: 1 example
Fine dark coloured indented beaker with low
wide conical neck.
Example: OO stray 119.
Discussion: Symonds (1992, ig. 12 nos 241-254
and p. 26) names central Gaul as place of production and dates this beaker to III. Gose (1950,
Pl. 14, ig. 210 and p. 18) dates it to IIIcd.
Date: IIIcd.
46 Gellep 56 (= Niederbieber 32c): 4 examples
Shouldered globular ine dark coloured beaker.
Examples: B 54.2, B 206.1, B 292.1, B 705.intr.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 69) dates the only
known Gellep example then to IIIcd. The shape
is identical with Niederbieber 32c. Pirling (1974,
43) discusses four new examples, one of which is
dated to IIIcd, and two to IVab, on the basis of
associated potery. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 84-5)
repeats these dates. Symonds (1992, 43-4 and
ig. 20 no. 412) locates the production near
Strasbourg or Saverne in Alsace.
Date: IIIcd-IVab.
44 Symonds 32 or 61?: 5 examples
Smooth ine dark coloured beaker with wide
body.
Examples: B 706.2, B stray 176, OO 288.1, OO
481.2, OO 483.2.
Discussion: Symonds 32, a third-century type, has
a wider body than the fourth-century Symonds
61 generally has (one example of Symonds 61
indeed has these proportions: Symonds 1992,
ig. 46, no. 793). So do these ive belong to Symonds 32 or 61?
47 Gellep 57: 20 examples
Fine dark coloured jar with short near-vertical lip
and constricted foot.
Examples: B 90.2, B 171.1, B 196.2, B 681.2, B 809.1,
B 812.3, B 821.1, B stray 86, B stray 88, OO 9.2,
OO 109.2, OO 170.1, OO 201.1, OO 234.1, OO
283.1, OO 320.1, OO 339.5, OO 383.1, OO stray
122, OO stray 304.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 69) dates this jar to IVab
on the basis of associated coins of AD 315 and
317. Pirling (1974, 43-44) dates them to Constan-

tinian age; two graves, however, also have a
twisted bracelet and one of these a glass beaker
Gellep 293, and are therefore dated to IVB.
Pirling (1979, 36) has an example from a grave
with a coin of AD 341 and reaches the date of
IVAB. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 85-6) arrives at two
size groups: small 6-8.4 cm, large 8.5-11 and
dates the type to IVab. The Nijmegen examples
have two size groups plus two larger outliers:
(small is absent), twelve large pieces 8.7-10.5,
ive extra large pieces 12.1-13.5, and two still
larger outliers 15.1 and 18.6 cm.
Date: IVab.
The Trier beakers
Before the types of the ine dark coloured beaker
from Trier with its narrow foot, globular body
and conical neck are discussed one by one, a survey of the whole seems appropriate. Both Symonds (1992, 66) and Künzl (1997, 19-22) discuss
these beakers as the irst potery shape in their
studies. The following subjects are treated below: the Latin word for beaker, typology, sizes
and volumes, drinking habits, motoes and one
graito, and chronology.
The Latin word for beaker
The word for beaker in third and fourth-century
vulgar Latin, i.e. spoken language, was ola. This
appears from the moto TEN[E]OLA on a thirdcentury beaker (Künzl 1997, 162-3, 257, Pl. 1bc),
and two texts from Nijmegen, listed below: the
moto IMPLEOLA and the graito OLATENEBIBE.
Ola corresponds to the classical Latin olla and the
archaic Latin aula (Festus, p. 23 Müll.), which
both mean pot or jar. Lexica do not give the
meaning beaker for olla. Besides, the texts on the
beakers show that the ending -m of the accusative had been dropped in spoken language by
the third century.
Typology
Renate Pirling (1966, 71) found diiculty in assigning the beakers to well-deined types: in her
irst publication of the Gellep cemeteries, she
wrote that her types 59-62 could not be exactly
distinguished one from the other, nor would
they be chronologically subdivided. Symonds
(1992, 66-7, ig. 46) solved Pirling’s problem
(without mentioning it) by assigning Pirling’s undecorated types 59, 61 and 62 to one group: Symonds 61, which covers both small, medium and
large sized beakers of slim or sturdy model of
the fourth century. Undecorated indented beakers are Symonds 62. For beakers decorated with
white and yellow paint and/or barbotine, four
types deined by Künzl (1997) are used below.
So the shape of the ine dark coloured beaker
comprises six types:
Symonds 61, beakers
Symonds 62, indented beakers
Künzl 1.4.1, small decorated beakers
Künzl 1.4.2, small decorated indented beakers
Künzl 1.6.1, large decorated beakers
Künzl 1.6.2, medium sized decorated beakers.
Sizes and volumes
So the sizes are taken into account in Künzl’s
types, and not in those of Symonds. The sample
of 315 beakers presented in Table 11 comprises
all Nijmegen beakers of these six types listed in
the ind catalogue.
Apart from the six types in the column headings
of Table 11, six size groups may be distinguished,
as appears in the bar diagram in Steures (2002a,
176, ig. 2), where the frequencies of the heights
of 252 of the beakers are grouped every 5 mm.
The six resulting size groups are called, in analogy to contemporary dress sizes: XS (= extra
small), S, M(edium), L(arge), XL, and XXL. The
volumes, measured by illing one or more beakers per size group with water up to the transition
between shoulder and neck, are no multiples of
one another. However, in Table 11 it would seem
that there is a unit of 130 cc in size groups XS, S
and M: 125, 260 and 390 cc, respectively. Two

facts, also in Table 11, argue against this: there is
also a volume of 200 cc in XS, and size group S
appears to be a conglomerate of seven small
moto-beakers, eleven beakers of Symonds’
group 61, plus two undecorated indented beakers. So the beakers do not seem to be standardized in the present-day sense of the word;
which is all but impossible for a poter. But
standard heights do seem to have been intended, in unciae (2.467 cm) of one twelth of a Roman foot. Calculating with the other subdivision
of the foot, digiti of one sixteenth of a foot, i.e.
1.85 cm, does not lead to round numbers. The
intended heights seem to be: 4.5 unciae for XS, 5
for S, 6-6.5 for M, 8 for L, 8.5 for XL, and 9.5-11
unciae for XXL.
For a comparable discussion of sizes see Künzl
(1997, 124-8). In the discussion of the large beakers Künzl 1.6.1 below, it is argued that the Nijmegen material does not support an interpretation of Künzl’s: that these huge beakers
served as carafes. So they are treated as real
beakers here.
Finally, Table 11 shows the numeric preponderance of the undecorated beakers of Symonds’
group 61 over the decorated ones of Künzl’s decorated types.
Drinking habits
It cannot be established whether sizes had anything to do with diferent kinds of wine. The
names under which wine is mentioned in mottoes outside Nijmegen are: CONDITVM (spicy),
MERVM (unmixed wine) VINVM (wine), RARVM
(rare), AMINEVM (famous wine from Picenum),
and PICATVM (pitchy; the same moto PARCE
PICATVM DA AMINEVM voices a preference for
Amineum: Künzl 1997, 96, 256). It seems more
likely that large sizes were intended for great
drinkers. The average drinker used the quantity
that goes into a medium size beaker, c.390 cc.
Other drinkers drank on steadily with the extra
284
—
small beakers, i.e. the moto-beakers of Künzl’s
type 1.4.1. When drinking, they folded their
hands comfortably around the warm beakers:
some motoes found outside Nijmegen refer to
wine heated by mixing it with hot water. CALDVM ‘hot’ refers to the neuter noun vinum = wine;
CALO ‘I’m hot’, DACALDAM = da caldam (aquam)
‘give hot water’. The shape of these beakers
with their globular bodies and conical necks
seems to be designed to keep the wine warm.
As it has been discussed in Steures (2002a), the
word MISCE igures predominantly on the extra
small beakers of Künzl’s type 1.4.1, suggesting
that mixing with hot water was done in the
beaker itself.
Motoes and one graito
Late Roman thirst clearly appears from the
drinking motoes on the ine dark coloured
beakers, jugs, botles and bowls. Both Symonds
(1992, 112-121) and Künzl (1997, 252-259) have
lists of drinking motoes. Künzl also discusses
them (1997, 94-101). The number of Nijmegen
motoes is small enough to give a list of them
here, instead of puting them in an appendix.
For the sake of completeness, those on ine dark
coloured jugs and botles and one bowl appear
here as well, just as two motoes on terra sigillata beakers (type Gellep 16 = Chenet 335a and
Gellep 246 = Chenet 337), one on a terra sigillata
bowl (Chenet 301), one on a terra sigillata botle
(Nijmegen 8), one on an imitation of a terra sigillata jug (Gellep 43 = Chenet 348), and one on a
brown-marbled jug (Gellep 70). Apart from these
six, types in the list are those of Künzl. An asterisk indicates a moto not in the lists indicated
above. The asterisk is in parentheses when the
new moto is not on ine dark coloured ware.
Stray inds indicated with Roman numerals are
those of group A, listed at beginning of Chapter
4: 17th to early 19th-century inds, not surviving or
not to be identiied. The graito is discussed after this list.
B stray 140
One Nijmegen text does not it into this list:
OLATENEBIBE = ollam tene bibe: ‘take the beaker
(and) drink’: B stray 140. This text is not a painted moto, but it is a graito on an undecorated
beaker of Symonds’ group 61. The irst excavator
of the Inner City cemetery of Nijmegen, the late
prof. H. Brunsting, saw it for what it is. The grafito turns a kiln waster into an article of fun: it
has a iring crack in its botom. Whoever followed the advice writen on the beaker would
spill wine on his dress, and that was funny.
Particularly funny to receive this beaker in one’s
grave. Wasters are however commonly used in
graves.
Chronology
All ive chronological groups of the decorated
beakers as deined by Suzanna Künzl (1997, 5377) are characterized by potery shapes and
decoration elements. Each is given a number by
Künzl. She herself indicates that she really
means workshops when she writes about groups
(Künzl 1997, 53 note 190).
Her chronological groups are:
Group I
AD 255 - before 260
Group II before 260 - 270
Group III 270 - 280
Group IV 280 - 310/315
Group V 300/310 - 355

VTERE
In groups I-IV decoration is done with white and
sometimes also some yellow barbotine, applied
upon the lustrous dark coating (as opposed to
the terra sigillata types Gellep 16 (= Chenet 335a),
Gellep 36 and Gellep 246 (= Chenet 337) treated
above, where the barbotine is under the coating).
There is a conspicuous use of yellow barbotine
in group IV. Groups I-III are absent from the
Nijmegen cemeteries. The only six representants
of group IV in Nijmegen are: botle B stray 128,
beaker B stray 240, beaker OO stray 181, jug OO
4.1, beaker OO 78.1, beaker OO 130.1.
Group V, however, uses white and sometimes
also some yellow paint and shows all the signs of
series production: the fast way of decorating
with paint instead of the painstaking barbotine,
and the smallest variation in motoes (Künzl
1997, 97). It has almost always large dots between the leters (Künzl 1997, 70). So it appears
that nearly all Nijmegen decorated beakers be-
288
—
long to group V and therefore to the irst half of
the fourth century. All motoes on Nijmegen
decorated dark coloured beakers, jugs and bottles are executed in white paint, even in the rare
cases where the rest of the decoration was done
in barbotine.
The decoration elements used on the potery
will be treated below with every type that carries
them.

Symonds 61, no details known: 1 example
This beaker was not found in the depot.
Example: OO 171.1.
Discussion: The variants of Symonds 61
Symonds 61 is subdivided here according to the
way the poter used his spatula in the variants
smooth (i.e. with no use of the spatula), incised,
grooved, with incised groove, and incised and grooved.
This has not been done for exaggerated precision but in order to understand how the poter
worked. If the spatula was used on beaker Symonds 61, there are usually three small zones
with spatula marks: halfway between foot and
maximum diameter, on or near the maximum
diameter, and just below the transition to the
neck.
The term incised should be explained here, because it seems to be new. With incising I mean
making the light regular incisions, common in
ine dark coloured potery, by keeping the spatula lightly between thumb and foreinger and letting its tip or side dance over the surface of the
pot on the turning poter’s wheel. Symonds
(1992, 6, 54, 66 and passim) consequently calls it
289
—
rouleting. This misnomer is traditional in the British archaeological literature (e.g. Charleston
1955, captions of Pls. 13AB; Hayes 1997, 45, caption of Pl. 15).
Symonds (1992, 6, 54 and 66) argues that incising originally served the aim of masking seams
that remained ater mounting, in the leatherhard stage, sections of larger vases that had
been thrown one by one on the poter’s wheel.
In the fourth century, Symonds argues, when
coarser clay was used, the beakers could be
thrown in one piece, but the rouleting remained.
This may be answered as follows. The word rouleting misleadingly suggests the use of a rollerstamp or roulete, which the poter runs over the
surface. This roller-stamp, for which Chenet
(1941, 45-47 and passim) uses the word molete,
was not used with ine dark coloured potery (it
was indeed used with Argonne terra sigillata). All
visible signs indicate that the clay was not leather-hard but fully plastic when the grooves or incised decoration was applied, and that the beaker still was on the poter’s wheel. The poter
makes a wide zone of incised decoration by allowing the side of his wooden spatula, the other
end of which he holds gently between thumb
and foreinger, to dance over the surface of a
piece of potery on the turning poter’s wheel. In
German, this is known as das federnde Blätchen as
described by Hetner (1883, 173), Czysz (1982,
322-4) and Künzl (1997, 92-93). This thin, probably wooden spatula apparently had a rectangular ending, c.0.2 cm wide. If the poter wanted to
make a groove, he pushed the spatula, irmly
held between thumb and foreinger, with this
ending against the turning beaker. If he wanted
to make a narrow zone of incising instead, he
held the spatula gently but otherwise in the
same way. If he held it in a way between irmly
and gently, he produced an incised groove (B
741.3, OO 65.1). The few beakers, on which a
groove changes into a narrow zone of incising,
show that the poter lost his concentration for a
moment (OO 108.2, OO 463.3).
Provenance of Symonds 61
Where does Symonds 61 and the rest of the
fourth-century ine dark coloured potery come
from? Symond’s chapter on fourth-century pottery starts with a long discussion of this problem
(Symonds 1992, 63-66). As Trier was devastated
in AD 276 during a barbarian invasion, he argues
that the surviving poters must have led, and he
sees the Argonnes to the west of Trier as their
most probable destination. He is not able, however, to show kilns with reject heaps of ine dark
coloured potery there. Even his abstract of an
analysis of twenty samples from fourth-century
Nijmegen, which clearly shows that they are very
near to third-century potery from Trier, does
not make him reject his Argonnes hypothesis;
further work on it is announced. In this line of
argument, Symonds completely ignores the very
favourable economic circumstances in fourthcentury emperor’s residence Trier.
Künzl (1997, 10-18) in discussing the Trier kilns
does not enter into a discussion on Symonds’
problem but does answer it implicitly: there positively are reject heaps of ine dark coloured
fourth-century potery near Trier kilns. She
underlines this with the title of her study, Die Trierer Spruchbecherkeramik.
Date of Symonds 61
Symonds (1992, 67) remarks that he has already
discussed the general chronology on the previous pages. There, however, he was so busy arguing that they did not come from Trier, that he did
not mention a date for the end of the production, or for that mater, for its beginning. So we
have to look elsewhere in the literature.
Symonds 61 corresponds to Gellep 59, 61 and 62,
to judge by the drawings: Pirling (1966, 1974,
1979) does not deine her types Gellep 59, 61 and
62. She (1966, 70-71) dates them, together with
Gellep 60, as follows: a single example to IIIcd
(on the basis of association in Gellep grave 62
with a Gellep 56 and a Gellep 77), and the great
mass to IVAB. The time ater AD 350 is represented by association with a cooking-pot Gellep
106 of ‘sickle-shaped proile’ in Gellep grave 65
290
—
(see however the discussion of Gellep 105 and
Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131). Pirling (1974, 4445) reduces this to IVab; she does not know
where these beakers come from. Pirling (1979,
37) returns to the date IVAB, with the remark
that there are no signs in Gellep of examples after that time. This means a retardation of twelve
years ater the end of the production with the
devastation of Trier in AD 355.
Date: IVAB.
53 Symonds 62: 9 examples
Fine dark coloured indented beaker.
Examples: B 414.1, B 704.2, B stray 83, B stray 84,
B stray 180, OO 433.1, OO stray 170-172.
Discussion: These beakers, the indented variant of
Symonds 61, are to be dated likewise to IVAB.
Pirling (1989, type plate 3) depicts one as Gellep
371, but by then she no longer discussed her new
types. Symonds (1992, 67) remarks that the ive
examples known to him do not look as if they
were made in Trier. He further thinks that indented beakers are so rare in the fourth century
because of coarser clay used.
Date: IVAB.

OO 478.3, OO 478.4, OO 480.1, OO 481.3, OO
stray 173-175.
Discussion: Künzl (1997, 21) remarks that this is
the preeminent moto-beaker. It is the longestlived, and occurs both with white barbotine and
with white paint. However the type shows the
greatest variety of proportions. The proportion
height : maximum diameter usually lies between
1.2 and 1.5; height of beaker : height of neck between 2.0-2.8. (This variation can be clearly seen
in the Nijmegen pair OO 20.1-2, apparently
meant as identical but with a great diference in
maximum diameter.)
The irst examples of 1.4.1 already occur in
chronological group II (before AD 260-270); they
are predominant from group III on (AD 270-280).
The last examples in group V (AD 300/310-355)
were made right up to the end of the production
time, ater the middle of the fourth century.
The decorative elements used on the beakers of
type Künzl 1.4.1 consist of zone dividers, word
dividers, leter dividers and tendrils. The following elements, indicated with the numbers Künzl
(1997, 39-49, type plates 9-14) assigns to them,
are present. Zone dividers 3 (irregular wavy line in
white barbotine), 4 (irregular wavy line in white
paint), 10 (horizontal line in white paint) and 11
(doted line in white paint). The most frequent
combination of these is horizontal lines above
and below, but all combinations Künzl gives for
group V (1997, 308, type plate 16) occur. Leter
divider 70 (large round dot of white paint) occurs
on almost every moto-beaker. Only four beakers have leter divider 72 (a small dot of white
paint); remarkably, these are two pairs (B 751.1
and 2, B stray 26 and 27). Word dividers 58 (three
or four small dots in a vertical row) and 59 (three
or four small dots of paint, from top let to bottom right) occur very oten, but the following are
also present: 50-53 (four dots forming together
an Y), 57 (triangle of dots), 60 (small horizontal
291
—
lines), and 64 (branch). Word divider 48 (small
dots and a heart-shaped motif) occurs once, on
a beaker with barbotine lines. Of the tendrils,
which occur only on beakers without moto, 188
occurs ten times (running scroll); further, once 78
(hook on dot) and once 189 (running scroll with
small dots).
One exuberantly decorated example, OO 463.2,
difers from the others on all points: it is thickwalled and heavy, of terra nigra rather than ine
dark coloured potery, and uses leter dividers
that do not occur elsewhere in Nijmegen: 71 (two
large dots, one on top of the other), 75 (line of
three large dots), and the unknown motif of a
lozenge made of four dots. In this example, apparently the youngest of the series an exuberant
farewell is said to the type, with a paradoxical
VIVAS.
Strikingly, all three (or four) pairs in the Nijmegen graves have identical decoration, as if they
were bought especially for the grave (B 751.1 and
2, OO 20.1 and 2, OO 478.3 and OO 478.4, and
possibly B stray 26 and 27).
The examples of Künzl 1.4.1 that belong to
chronological group V correspond to part of Symonds 63: Symonds’ examples 808-9 (from Nijmegen), 813-838 and 844-7.
Date: AD 300-355.
Künzl 1.4.2: 1 example
Example: OO stray 177.
Discussion: This is the indented beaker variant of
Künzl 1.4.1.
57 Künzl 1.6.1: 10 examples
Large ine dark coloured moto-beaker with a
decoration zone under the moto.
Examples: B 387.1, B stray 38, B stray 171, B stray
183, OO 467.2, OO stray 178-181, Remainder
stray 13.
Discussion: Künzl (1997, 22) dates this type to IVab
or even IVAB. Künzl 1.6.1 corresponds to Symonds 63, amongst which Symonds’ examples
810-2 from Nijmegen. The decorative elements
on Künzl 1.6.1 (see also above under Künzl 1.4.1)
comprise zone dividers 6, 9, 11 and 16, leter di-
viders 70, 71 and 119 (in white paint), word dividers 57, 64 and 68, 70 together with 57, and tendril 168 and 188.
Künzl (1997, 22) suggests that the large beakers
of type 1.6.1 were intended to be mixing bowls
(Cratere). I doubt this. The name Crater suggests
that mixing took place before pouring out; we
already saw that mixing probably took place in
the drinking beaker itself. M. Erdrich (pers.
comm.) supports Künzl’s view. Whilst processing
the inds during the excavations of cemetery Nijmegen-East (OO), he noticed wear marks on the
lower inside of the large beakers, as if they had
been stirred regularly; such wear marks were absent from smaller beakers. This need not mean
that the large beakers served as mixing bowl for
groups. Moreover, the evidence from Nijmegen,
both motoes and ind circumstances, does not
support this supposed function of carafe. Firstly,
amongst the motoes on Künzl 1.6.1 there is,
admitedly, the greeting AVETE (on OO 467.2) in
the plural number (‘hello everyone’), as if the
beaker was intended to be served to a group;
but this same greeting also occurs on two beakers of size group XS (Künzl 1.4.1), in the forms
AVET and APETE. Moreover, one of the large
beakers of Künzl’s type 1.6.1 has the imperative
singular VTERE (a formula oten used on gits,
usually combined with FELIX ‘use (happily) on
your own’): very appropriate in a single grave.
Secondly, as for the ind circumstances: two of
these (extra) extra large beakers were indeed
found together with smaller beakers. Two others, however, though accompanied by other pottery, were found without smaller beakers.
The undecorated beakers of Symonds’ type 61,
which fall outside the scope of Künzl’s study,
have also been screened in order to answer the
question whether the L-XXL beakers were intended as carafes. In 13 cases these are accompanied by smaller beakers, as opposed to 23 cases where they are not. No less than 11 out of
these 23 were the only artefact in the grave. Here
too the function of carafe is improbable.
Dr Hilary Cool kindly drew my atention to a
moto-beaker from Neatham (Hampshire) that
292
—
setles the mater. It is 20.5 cm high, so belongs
to type Künzl 1.6.1 and bears the moto DAMERVM = give unmixed wine. This excludes the
use of this large beaker as a mixing bowl (Moto:
Collingwood/Wright 1994, no. 2498.5; ind: Millet/Graham 1986, 75 no. 32, ig. 51).
Date: AD 300-355.
58 Künzl 1.6.2: 12 examples
Medium sized decorated dark coloured beaker.
Examples: B 67.1, B 177.1, B 722.2, B stray IV?, B
stray 204, OO 28.2, OO 135.1, OO 147.1, OO 215.1,
OO 314.1, OO 382.1, OO stray 21.
Discussion: These medium sized beakers do not
generally have the slim proportions that Künzl
(1997, 22) ascribes to them. The decorative elements used (see above, under Künzl 1.4.1) are
zone dividers 4, 9, 10 and 16, leter dividers 70
and 71, word dividers 57, 59 and 64, and tendrils
168, 188 and 189. All being decorated in white
paint, they belong to Künzl’s chronological
group V, dated AD 300/310-355.
Date: AD 300-355.
Fine dark coloured beaker, no data: 11 examples
Examples: B 67.2, B 182.3, B 211.1, B stray 174, OO

stray 319.
59 Künzl 14.1.1: 1 example
Fine dark coloured moto-botle with wide neck
and barbotine decoration in white and yellow.
Example: B stray 128.
Discussion: Künzl (1997, 34) remarks that most
botles of her type 14.1.1 belong to chronological
group IV (AD 280-310/315). This is conirmed for
the Nijmegen botle by the use of white and yellow barbotine, which makes this stray ind one
of the oldest pieces of potery from the Nijmegen Late Roman cemeteries. Künzl 14.1.1 corresponds to Symonds’ third-century group 50 (Symonds 1992, 56 and ig. 38-39).
The function of the globular botles with funnelshaped necks is not discussed by Symonds and
Künzl (but see Steures 2002a, 177-8). Symonds
calls them surprisingly carafes. The painted mot-
to PARCE on the Nijmegen botle (‘be sparing’,
‘just a bit’), seemingly is in stark contrast to the
enthusiastic drinking motoes discussed above
and betrays its function. This moto becomes
understandable, if these botles were meant for
water to be mixed with merum, the pure wine. In
Künzl’s list (1997, 256) the word PARCE igures
six times, three out of which in combination
with AQVAM (‘be sparing with water’, ‘just a bit
of water’). The only pouring vessels out of the
six pieces with PARCE are two such botles. One
of these has PARCE AQVAM ADIC MERVM: ‘be
sparing with water, add pure wine’ (depicted by
Symonds 1992, ig. 38, no. 702). The shape of
these globular botles is particularly suited for
keeping the water it contained hot. If one wanted to be sparing with water and at the same
time make the wine in the beaker nice and
warm, the water in the botle had to be boiling
hot. The funnel shape of the neck is also particularly suited to pouring in and out boiling water
without accidents. The strange absence of a
handle on a botle that is very hot when in use
might be explained by the wish to avoid accidents when pouring the boiling water. They were
probably handled with something like oven
gloves.
The botles seem to have been a later invention
than the beakers, because it is not clear whether
they belonged to the irst series of the production of Trier moto-beakers (Künzl 1997, 34-5). I
suggest that the workshops began to market
them as soon as they had observed that boiling
water was added in their beakers. Their botles
were not the commercial success the beakers
were: so far, 10 botles are known from Nijmegen, as opposed to the 343 beakers presented
above.
Date: AD 280-315.
60 Künzl 14.2.2: 4 examples
Fine dark coloured globular botle decorated
with white paint, comprising white dots on
neck-moulding.
Examples: B 81.3, B 681.1, OO 134.1, OO stray 62.
Discussion: Künzl (1997, 34) places this type in
293
—
chronological group V, dated 300/310-355 (Künzl
1997, 9). Künzl 14.2.2 corresponds to Symonds’
group 68 (Symonds 1992, 68, ig. 51) and with
Gellep 254, dated in IVb by Pirling (1974, 46).
Date: AD 300-355.
61 Künzl 14.3.1: 2 examples
Fine dark coloured botle without neck-moulding, with white painted decoration.
Examples: OO 188.2, OO stray 182.
Discussion: The only moto-botle with narrow
concave neck and without neck-moulding is
Künzl 14.3.1 (Künzl 1997, 299, type plate 7); however, she knows the model only with barbotine
decoration, in her third-century groups II and III.
As appears from the white paint on the Nijmegen examples, they belong in chronological group
V, dated 300/310-355 (Künzl 1997, 9).
Date: AD 300-355.
62 Künzl 14.4.1: 1 example
Fine dark coloured moto-botle with wide neck
and neck-moulding.
Example: B stray 137.
Discussion: According to Künzl (1997, 34), most
examples of this shape belong to the third century, but some, as appears from their white
paint, to chronological group V, dated 300/310355. Our beaker with its white paint belongs to
the later group.
Date: AD 300-355.
63 Künzl 14.5: 4 examples
Fine dark coloured globular botle with narrow
cylindrical neck.
Examples: B 197.2, B 512.1, B stray 168, OO stray
183.
Discussion: This shape corresponds to Gellep 254.
Künzl (1997, 34): ‘eine Gefäßform des 4. Jahrhunderts’; the Nijmegen examples belong to
Künzl’s chronological group V, AD 300/310-355. B
197.2 has decoration in white and some yellow
paint; this does occur in group V (Künzl 1997, 70).
Date: AD 300-355.
64 Künzl 12.1.3: 3 examples
Fine dark coloured one-handled jug with white
painted decoration, which comprises white dots
on neck moulding.
Examples: B 234.4, B 741.5, OO stray 120.
Discussion: Künzl 12.1.3 ‘shows all signs of being a
series product’ and is to be dated to IVAB (Künzl
1997, 31). The type corresponds to Gellep 257
(Pirling 1974, 47), dated to IVab or IVAB. OO stray
120 has no proiled lip and so seems the be a
hastily made series product.
Date: AD 300-355.
65 Künzl 12.2.1: 3 examples
Fine dark coloured one-handled moto-jug with
smooth in-turned lip.
Examples: OO 4.1, OO 63.2, OO 144.2.
Discussion: Künzl (1997, 31-32) dates this jug IIIdIVab. Most pieces have white barbotine and belong to chronological group IV, but some, like
the three Nijmegen examples, have white paint
and so belong to group V, dated 300/310-355.
Date: AD 300-355.
66 Künzl 12.3.1: 1 example
Fine dark coloured one-handled moto-jug with
smooth hooked lip.
Examples: B 106.1.
Discussion: Künzl (1997, 32, 298 type plate 6) distinguishes 12.3.1 and .2 from 12.2.1 and .2 by the
shape of the lip, which is no longer in-turned,
but is sharply hooked and everted. The mass of
this shape was produced in her chronological
group V, dated 300/310-355. The small B 106.1,
which lacks its distinguishing upper half, seems
nevertheless to belong to this type. B 702.5 is a
small angular variant of Künzl 12.3.1 in a diferent
ware, B3: see text to type ig. 42.
Date: AD 300-355.
67 Nijmegen 67: 1 example
Example: B 199.2.
Fine dark coloured one-handled jug with wide
mouth and pinched spout (not in Künzl).
Discussion: This jug is unique within potery ware
C4, but it has a general fourth-century shape we
294
—
also encounter in other wares (Gellep 43 (=
Chenet 348), Gellep 70, Gellep 80 (and Gellep
114, so far not present in Nijmegen): type igs.
40, 76 and 91). Potery ware and white paint
show this jug to belong to chronological group V,
dated 300/310-355 (Künzl 1997, 9).
Date: AD 300-355.
68 Künzl 7.4: 2 examples
Small ine dark coloured hemispherical bowl
with white painted decoration.
Examples: B stray 63, OO 176.5.
Discussion: Künzl (1997, 25-26) mentions bowls of
her shape 7 as the most frequent drinking vessels ater the globular beakers. This does not
concur with the rarity of this shape in Nijmegen,
where only six of them are known. She remarks
that the numerous bowls of types 7.4 and 7.5
were produced up to or even ater the middle of
the fourth century. Künzl 7.4 corresponds to
Gellep 64, which Pirling (1966, 72) calls cylindrical and dates IVb and IVB. Pirling (1974, 47) dates
Gellep 64 to IVab or IVB. Künzl 7.4 and 7.5 together correspond to Symonds 73 (1992, 69, 74
note 72, ig. 53). Symonds accepts Pirling’s date.
Date: IVAB.
69 Künzl 7.5: 4 examples
Small ine dark coloured cylindrical bowl with
white painted decoration.
Examples: B 248.1, B stray 290, OO stray 184-185.
Discussion: See above, under Künzl 7.4 (type ig.
68), which corresponds to Gellep 64 (Pirling/
Siepen 2006, 95).
Date: IVAB.
D1 Ochre-coloured sherd, dull dirty reddish
brown slip
70 Gellep 65: 2 examples
Slipped coarse jug with pinched spout.
Example: OO 242.2, OO stray 186.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 72) remarks that this
shape is almost identical with Niederbieber 42
and that it appears from two Gellep graves that
the shape was still made in the fourth century.
Pirling (1974, 49-50) dates two new examples to
IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 76) reallocates this
type to ware A2, imitations of terra sigillata and
dates most examples to IVab and an earlier one
to IIIC.
Date: IVab.
D3 Light reddish brown sherd, ochre-coloured
slip outside, dull dark reddish brown slip inside
71 Niederbieber 38: 1 example
See Remainder stray 21 in Chapter 4, Catalogue of
the stray inds.
72 Gellep 67: 2 examples
Red-slipped plate with oblique band-shaped
proiled lip.
Examples: B 367.3, B 410.2.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 73) identiies this shape
with Alzei 20 and dates six Gellep examples to
IVab on the basis of coins. Pirling (1974, 50)
dates seven new examples to IVab with the remark that examples associated with glazed pottery must be dated to IVB (see however the discussion of the date of glazed potery above).
Pirling (1979, 38) mentions one new example
dated IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 101-2) identiies Trier as the place of manufacture and dates
the type to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
73 Gellep 68: 1 example
Red-slipped plate with oblique lip thickened
horizontally on outside.
Example: B stray 22.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 73) dates the only Gellep
example to the beginning of IV on the basis of
association with a Niederbieber shape and a
fourth-century shape. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 102)
dates the same grave to IVab.
Date: IVab.
74 Gellep 69: 5 examples
Red-slipped plate with oblique lip thickened obliquely on outside.
Examples: B 216.3, B 222.2, B 345.1, OO 176.6, OO
295
—
242.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 73) dates this plate briefly to IVab. Pirling (1974, 50-51) mentions new examples from IIIcd, IVab and IVb. Pirling (1979, 38)
dates new examples to as early as III, and to
IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 102) calls the type
contemporaneous to Gellep 67.
Date: IIIcd-IVab.
the dates of the frequent double-handled jugs
Gellep 71 and Gellep 72, both IVab, justify this
same half century as the date of Gellep 70.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 126-7) dates the type to
IVAB but also mentions smaller examples, to be
dated IVcd-Va. Almost all Gellep examples are
also decorated with white paint or barbotine;
four out of eight Nijmegen examples are.
Date: IVab.
E1 Brown-marbled potery
77 Nijmegen 77: 1 example
Brown-marbled sharply shouldered jug with one
handle and collar.
Example: OO 58.1.
Discussion: This shape is unique in Nijmegen and
does not occur in Gellep in brown-marbled
ware. Is it to be dated like the double-handled
Gellep 72 to IVab.
Date: IVab.
Pirling (1966, 74-5) queries where this ware was
made. She (Pirling 1974, 52-3) cites Oelmann
(1914, 50), who situates the production of the
brown-marbled ware in the Neuwied Basin on
the middle Rhine, and mentions a workshop at
Treis-Karden on the lower Moselle that made
brown-marbled ware. Literature on Treis-Karden
will be found via Cüppers (1990, 575-7).
75 Nijmegen 75: 1 example
Brown-marbled mug.
Example: OO stray 187.
Discussion: Although this mug with its bandshaped vertical handle and conical neck has no
parallel as such, its shape corresponds to the
beakers Symonds 61 and its decoration with the
brown-marbled technique discussed below. This
dates the mug to IVab.
Date: IVab.
76 Gellep 70: 8 examples
Brown-marbled globular jug with pinched spout.
Examples: B 176.4, B 456.2, B 686.3, B 760.1, B
762.intr., B stray 170, OO 151.3, OO 475.2.
Discussion: This brown-marbled jug has the general fourth-century shape that we also encounter in other wares (Chenet 348, Gellep 43, Gellep
80, Gellep 114 and in ine dark coloured ware,
type ig. 66) and that is to be dated generally to
IV. Pirling (1966, 74) mentions one Gellep
example, dated IV. Pirling (1974, 51) dates new
examples ‘with some probability’ to IVab. Pirling
(1979, 38-39) dates an example to IVB on the basis of association with coins of AD 341. However,
78 Gellep 261 or 742: 1 example
Example: OO stray 18.
Discussion: Brown-marbled globular jug with
conical mouthpiece.
Gellep 261 occurs once in Gellep, in red-marbled
ware E2, in an incomplete example lacking the
mouthpiece; this is reconstructed with a collar
and a long mouth (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 127).
Pirling (1974, 51) dates it to IVab on the basis of
association with other potery. The Nijmegen
example has the same ofset base as Gellep 261,
but its mouthpiece is like that of Gellep 742, dated III-IVa (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 127).
Date: IVab.
79 Gellep 71: 10 examples
Brown-marbled double-handled jug with wide
rounded shoulder and cylindrical neck with collar.
Examples: B 86.2, B 177.3, B 697.2, B stray 8, B
stray 71, B stray 132, B stray 300, OO stray 189190, Remainder stray 16.
Discussion: The brown-marbled variant of this
jug, which also occurs in smooth ware, has two
horizontal grooves at the base of the neck between the beginnings of the handles. Pirling
(1966, 74) draws atention to the diferences in
296
—
size as opposed to the unity in shape and to the
descendance from Niederbieber 46, and dates
the jug to IVab. Pirling (1974, 51) repeats this
date, with the note that the shape occurs up to
the middle of IV, as appears from the association
with a coin of AD 341. Pirling (1979, 39) repeats:
IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 129) is more vague
with a date in IV and mentions two size groups,
18-21 and 24-28 cm, with an outlier at 31 cm. The
Nijmegen material has a group of six pieces 1622 cm and four outliers at 26, 29 (twice) and 32
cm.
Date: IVab.
80 Gellep 72: 50 examples
Brown-marbled double-handled jug with
marked shoulder and cylindrical neck with collar.
Examples: B 13.1, B 48.1, B 122.1, B 169.1, B 183.2, B
207.4, B 367.4, B 427.2, B 435.3, B 608.1, B 612.1
(= B stray 262), B 677.1, B 682.1, B 701.2, B 705.
intr., B 723.3, B 741.6, B 754.1, B 810.2, B stray
43?, B stray 51, B stray 72, B stray 90-1, B stray
145, B stray 167, B stray 182, B stray 243-4, B
stray 319, OO 103.1, OO 168.5, OO 170.2, OO
186.3, OO 250.1, OO 252.3, OO 290.1, OO 290.2,
OO 351.2, OO 354.4, OO 475.3, OO stray 1, OO
stray 63, OO stray 191-193, OO stray 195-197, OO
stray 303, Remainder stray 10.
Discussion: In Nijmegen, this frequent shape has
two size groups: 33 pieces measure 21-27 cm, 9
pieces are 28-31 cm high with outliers as small as
12.7, 17 and 19 cm. This concurs well with the sizes mentioned by Pirling (1966, 74-5). Normally,
there are two horizontal grooves at the base of
the neck and two between the beginnings of the
handle. Twelve Nijmegen examples have white
dots on the shoulder, once in combination with a
zigzag, once with small arcs. Pirling dates them
IVabc: IVc on the basis of association with a
Gellep 106 ‘with sickle-shaped proile’ (see however the discussion of Gellep 105 and Gellep 106,
type igs. 130-131). Pirling (1974, 52-53) limits
their date to IVab. Pirling (1979, 39) repeats the
date of IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 129-30) dates
the type to IVAB, but none of the coins associated with it in Gellep is later than AD 337.
Date: IVab.
81 Nijmegen 81: 1 example
Brown-marbled stopper for a Gellep 72.
Example: Remainder stray 11.
82 Nijmegen 82: 1 example
Brown-marbled stopper for a Gellep 71.
Example: OO stray 194. It was found on jug Remainder stray 16, not on OO stray 193.
Discussion: The two diferently shaped stoppers
for jugs of types Gellep 71 and 72 are unique and
unfortunately come from stray inds. Like Gellep
71-72, they are to be dated IVab.
Date: IVab.
83 Nijmegen 83: 1 example
Brown-marbled miniature amphora with globular body and wart-shaped point for a basis (miniature of Gellep 443)
Example: OO stray 188.
Discussion: This miniature amphora with white
dots on the shoulder is unique. It imitates the
shape of amphora Gellep 443 = Dressel 20 =
Niederbieber 78 = Alzei 22 = Gose 442 = Stuart
138. Stuart (1963, 59) writes: ‘So the globular
amphora covers a period of three centuries: c.AD
40-mid IV.’ The date of this miniature is IVab, as
appears from the brown-marbled decoration.
Another imitation of the shape in potery, also
meant for the drinker’s table, is in Worms; it is of
the same date as the Nijmegen example, but of
another ware and another size (Wamser 2000,
191 ig. 157, 360 cat.no. 90d).
Date: IVab.
F1 Smooth potery with yellowish white sherd,
smoothened carefully
Roman smooth potery has a porous wall; evaporation of the liquid through the wall will require
heat from the content, thus keeping it cool.
84 Gellep 408: 1 example
Smooth high-shouldered honey-jar.
297
—
Example: B 677.2.
Discussion: Type Gellep 408 is only illustrated in
Pirling (1989, type plate 5). Brunsting (1937, 109)
remarks on the honey-jars, his type smooth 28:
‘The shape maintains itself without many alterations from the irst till the fourth centuries, cf.
Haltern 62, Hofeim 66, but also Niederbieber
79.’ Pirling/Siepen (2006, 156) dates the type in
Gellep only generally to III-IV and mentions as
latest example one associated with glazed ware,
to be dated IVB (see however the discussion of
the date of glazed potery above).
Date: I-IVB.
85 ± Gellep 411: 1 example
Smooth high-shouldered white jar with everted
rim and small horizontal unproiled lip.
Example: OO stray 198.
Discussion: No parallels are known to me. The real
Gellep 411 has a proiled lip and is depicted but
not discussed by Pirling (1989, type plate 5).
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 155) dates the only Gellep
piece to IVab.
Date: IVab.
86 Gellep 75: 1 example
Smooth lat-globular honey-jar with high neck.
Example: OO 152.1.
Discussion: The neck of our example is higher
than in Pirling (1966, type plate 6). Pirling (1966,
76) dates one of the two examples known from
Gellep at that time to IVB, on the basis of association with a piece of glazed potery (see however the discussion of the date of glazed potery
above). Pirling (1974, 53) dates a new example to
AD 320-350, on the same basis. A striking parallel for our fourth-century example is the irstcentury honey-jar Stuart 146 (Stuart 1977, ig. 50,
10) from irst-century cemetery O, partly on the
same terrain as our fourth-century OO. Stuart
(1977, 59) dates that example, on the basis of its
white, smooth ‘pipe-clay’ and careful workmanship ‘not too late, probably mid irst-century at
the latest’. Unless a irst-century piece has crept
here between the fourth-century material (the
irst-century cemetery O and the fourth-century
cemetery OO overlap), we again have a form
that continued for three centuries without
alterations. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 157) dates the
type in Gellep to IVab.
Date: IVab.
87 Gellep 77: 4 examples
Smooth jug with round lip.
Examples: B 59.2, B stray 253, B stray 272, OO
413.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 76) dates this shape,
which is identical with Niederbieber 62a, to IIIcd,
on the basis of association with a Gellep 56.
Pirling (1974, 54) publishes four new examples
from three graves, two of which are dated to IIIcd on the basis of coins and a Gellep 282, and
the third to IV, on the basis of potery and a glass
beaker Gellep 189. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 142-3, n.
56) drops former types Gellep 264, 416, 417, 419
and 619 and subsumes them under Gellep 77,
which is dated generally to III, with only one example certainly from IV.
Date: IIIcd-IVd.
88 Gellep 422: 1 example
Smooth jug with one handle and undercut
torus-shaped rim.
Example: B stray 274.
Discussion: Pirling/Siepen (2006, 143) dates the
type to the same time as Gellep 77.
Date: IIIcd-IVd.
89 Gellep 423: 3 examples
Smooth jug with lip that is convex on top and
lat at the underside.
Examples: B stray 273, B stray 276, B stray 277.
Discussion: Pirling/Siepen (2006, 140) dates the
type to IIcd-IIIab.
Date: IIcd-IIIab.
90 Gellep 79: 2 examples
Smooth jug with strongly constricted foot and
horizontal painted bands.
Examples: OO 316.3, OO stray 199.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 77) dates the only Gellep
example to IVab, on the basis of association with
298
—
a coin of Constantine the Great and fourthcentury glass and potery. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
145) subsumes the former types Gellep 79-80
under one type, dated to IVab.
Date: IVab.
91 Gellep 80: 3 examples
Smooth jug with slightly constricted foot, four
reddish brown painted horizontal bands and
pinched spout.
Examples: B 215.2, B 708.2, OO stray 35.
Discussion: This smooth jug has the general
fourth-century shape we also encounter in
Gellep 43 (type ig. 40), Gellep 70 (type ig. 76),
Gellep 114 and ine dark coloured potery, type
ig. 66, and is therefore dated to IV. Pirling (1966,
77) remarks that red bands occur in IVab, and
that associations of the Gellep examples lead to
the same date. Pirling (1974, 54) repeats this
date for three examples, while she dates a
fourth one to IVB. A last example is dated to
IVab again by Pirling (1979, 40). Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 145) subsumes the former types Gellep
79-80 under one type, dated to IVab.
Date: IVab.
92 Gellep 81(/82): 3 examples
Smooth jug with painted horizontal bands and
band-shaped lip.
Examples: B 150.2, B 334.1, OO 244.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 77) dates three examples
to IVab on the basis of decoration and associations. Pirling (1974, 40) dates one example to IVb
on the basis of a coin, and two other examples
IVab. Pirling (1979,40) dates an example to IVB
because of association with a Gellep 122 (IVcd,
according to Pirling; see however the discussion
of Gellep 122, type ig. 151). Pirling/Siepen (2006,
145-6) dates both Gellep 81 and 82 to IVab and
says they were manufactured in Cologne.
Date: IVab.
93 Gellep 263: 3 examples
Smooth jug with brown bands and cylindrical
mouthpiece.
Examples: B 801.1, B stray 270, OO 383.2.
Discussion: Pirling (1974, 53-54) dates one example to IVAB because of association with with a
Gellep 109, and two others to IVB. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 146) dates the type to IVAB and says it
was manufactured in Cologne.
Date: IVAB.
94 Gellep 83a: 1 example
Smooth slender jug with moulding on neck and
with thumb-rest on handle.
Example: OO stray 200.
95 Gellep 83b: 1 example
Smooth slender jug with moulding on neck and
without thumb-rest on handle.
Example: B 764.5.
Discussion: This jug, which imitates metal examples, is dated to IIIcd-IVab by Pirling (1966, 78).
Our example of Gellep 83a has a proiled rim instead of the hooked one shown by Pirling (1966,
type plate 7). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 146) dates the
type to IV, especially IVab.
Date: IVab.
96 Nijmegen 96: 1 example
Smooth jug with conical mouthpiece.
Example: B 183.3.
Discussion: According to Oelmann conical mouthpieces are typical of III (Pirling 1966, 58, in the
discussion of Gellep 20), but the presence of
such a mouthpiece on Gellep 261 (type ig. 78)
shows it to go on in IVab.
Date: III-IVab.
97 Gellep 84a: 8 examples
Smooth double-handled jug with smooth lip.
Examples: B 59.3, B 218.3, B 742.3, B stray 93, OO
176.7, OO stray 202-204.
98 Gellep 84b: 1 example
Example: B 218.4.
Smooth double-handled jug with proiled lip.
Discussion: In Nijmegen these jugs vary even
more in height than Pirling (1966, 78) states:
11.9-28.4 cm. She dates the shape from ‘still III’
to ‘entire IV’ for Cologne examples, but IVab for
299
—
Gellep ones. Pirling (1974, 54-5) repeats IVab for
nine examples. Pirling (1979, 41) gives again IVab
for one example, and IVB for another. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 151-2) dates the type to IIId-IVB
and says it was manufactured in Cologne.
Date: IIId-IVB.
99 Gellep 85a: 7 examples
Smooth white double-handled jug with small
cylindrical foot, hooked shoulder and triangular
lip.
Examples: B 704.3, B stray 92, OO stray 205-209.
Discussion: The Gellep examples are very
smoothly inished. Pirling (1966, 79) dates one
example to IVab, and two others to IVB. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 152) dates the type to IV and says
it was the container for expensive imported
wine. This its in well with the only example
found during excavations in Nijmegen: B 704 is a
comparatively rich grave with unique pieces.
Date: IVAB.
100 Gellep 91: 2 examples
Smooth globular double-handled jug with bandshaped lip.
Examples: B 59.4, OO stray 210.
Discussion: One Gellep example is dated to just
ater AD 298 by Pirling (1966, 80-1) because of a
series of coins ending in that year (‘terminus ad
quem’); two in the beginning of IV, one IVab, one
IVB. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 168-9) dates the type
IIIcd-IVB.
Date: IVAB.
101 Gellep 441 (= Stuart 151A): 1 example
Smooth stopper for an amphora
Example: OO stray 211.
Discussion: Pirling (1989, type plate 8, Gellep 441)
depicts this type with its open side down and
thus interprets it as a stopper; she did not discuss types any more in 1989. Stuart calls his type
151A a candle-stick (Stuart 1963, 67-8), ater
which he immediately doubts his own interpretation. A burning candle on such a narrow foot is
dangerous; a diferent function seems obvious.
As Stuart mentions eleven examples from the
nearby Nijmegen Flavian legionary fortress (AD
70-104), our ind must be irst-century (the irstcentury cemetery O and the fourth-century cemetery OO overlap). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 171-2)
dates the two Gellep examples Id-IId. So our example probably comes from the irst-century
cemetery O, not the fourth-century OO on the
same plot.
Date: Ic-IId.
F2Smooth potery, reddish ochre-coloured
sherd
102 Gellep 87: 1 example
Smooth squat globular beaker with conical neck.
Example: B 16.2.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 79) dates the only Gellep
example to IVcd because of association with a
terra nigra beaker. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 160) repeats the date.
Date: IVcd.
103 Gellep 89: 1 example
Smooth jug with hooked lip.
Example: OO 271.2.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 80) remarks that this
shape may also occur in white smooth ware and
then is to be dated IVab because of painted horizontal bands. However, she dates the only datable example of Gellep 89 to IVB because of
association with a Gellep 70 and a Gellep 106
‘with slightly sickle-shaped proile’ (see however
the discussion of Gellep 105 and Gellep 106, type
igs. 130-131). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 164) dates
the type to IVab.
Date: IVab.
104 Nijmegen 104: 2 examples
Smooth brown single-handled jug with collar,
shaped like the brown-marbled Gellep 71.
Examples: B 201.2, B 212.2.
Discussion: The shape of this smooth brown onehandled jug is that of the two-handled brownmarbled Gellep 71 and the smooth brown twohandled Gellep 637. The date of Gellep 637
300
—
(Pirling/Siepen 2006, 168) is helpful: IIIcd-IVab.
Date: IIIcd-IVab.
105 Gellep 637: 2 examples
Smooth brown double-handled jug with collar,
shaped like the brown-marbled Gellep 71.
Examples: B 191.2, OO stray 312.
Discussion: This double-handled jug shaped like
the brown-marbled Gellep 71 is not discussed by
Pirling (1997, type plate 8), and is to be dated,
like Gellep 71, to IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 168)
dates it to IIIcd-IVab.
Date: IVab.
106 Nijmegen 106: 1 example
Smooth double-handled jug with short wide
neck and band-shaped lip.
Example: OO stray 201.
Discussion: As there is no parallel known for this
shape and as it is a stray ind, the only basis for a
date in IVab is its provenance ‘OO’.
Date: IVab.
109 Brunsting 36b: 3 examples
Smooth mortarium with horizontal lip, without
protruding spout.
Examples: B stray 24, OO stray 257-258.
Discussion: Brunsting (1937, 110-1) dates the
smooth mortarium from Haltern 60 (11 BC- AD 9)
to Alzei 31 (AD 370-400; 406-450). Stuart (1963,
66-7), whose type 149b this is, discusses only
irst-century examples. Pirling (1989 type plate
8, Gellep 442) and 1997 (type plate 14, Gellep
683) gives two type numbers to smooth mortaria with horizontal lip and protruding spout
(both Brunsting 36a) but does not discuss them.
Of the three mortaria mentioned here, B stray 20
comes certainly from a fourth-century grave, as
it was found in the Kaaskorversgas (site b on ig.
3; the other two are marked ‘OO’. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 227-8) discusses the mortaria from
Gellep, but our type is not represented.
Date: IB-Vb.
F3 Smooth potery, dark grey sherd
107 Gellep 766: 1 example
Smooth brown double-handled jug shaped like
the brown-marbled Gellep 72.
Example: B stray 43
Discussion: This smooth brown double-handled
jug shaped like the brown-marbled Gellep 72 is
to be dated, like Gellep 72, to IVab. The type
seems not to be discussed in Pirling/Siepen
2006.
Date: IVab.
108 Gellep 438 (= Niederbieber 69a): 1 example
Smooth double-handled jug with globular body
and slanting lip.
Example: B stray 94.
Discussion: This shape, not discussed by Pirling
(1989, type plate 8, Gellep 438) is represented by
this stray ind and looks like Niederbieber 69a;
therefore to be dated III. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
167) dates the type to IIIab.
Date: IIIab.
110 Gellep 96: 1 example
Small barrel-shaped beaker.
Example: B stray 209.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 68-69 under type Gellep
55) discusses barrel-shaped beakers from irst to
fourth centuries; she dates a Gellep 96 to IVB
(Pirling 1966, 82) because of association with a
Gellep 105 ‘with sickle-shaped proile’ (see however the discussion of Gellep 105 and Gellep 106,
type igs. 130-131). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 178)
dates the graves concerned in Gellep to IVab.
Date: IVab.
F4 Smooth potery, brownish grey sherd
111 Gellep 97: 7 examples
Coarse botle.
Examples: B 16.3, B 100.1, B 778.1, B stray 16, B
stray 211, B stray 216, B stray 226.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 82) dates the only Gellep
example to Valentinian age, i.e. IVC, on the basis
301
—
of an Andernach parallel, but decides to IVcd.
The Valentinian age its in well with the Valentinian coins found in B 778.1. It should be noted
that most Nijmegen examples are not in
smooth, but in coarse ware. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 173) dates the only Gellep example to IVd.
Date: IVcd.
112 Nijmegen 112: 1 example
Smooth double-handled jug with wide rounded
shoulder and horizontal lip.
Example: Remainder stray 12.
Discussion: This jug has all but the same shape as
Gellep 71 (IVab) and Gellep 637: what is a collar
there, is the lip here. The neck with the horizontal lip is shaped the same as Niederbieber 69, so
a date IIIcd-IVab seems possible.
Date: IIIcd-IVab.
F7 Terra nigra
113 Gellep 98: 1 example
Jug with collared neck.
Example: B stray 190.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 82-3) cannot date the
only Gellep example. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
183-4) dates it generally to IV.
Date: IV.
114 Gellep 273: 1 example
Terra nigra footed bowl with proiled foot and
three zones of incised decoration.
Example: OO 446.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1974, 57) dates the only Gellep
example to IVab on the basis of a coin of AD 313.
The shape corresponds to Chenet 342, which
Chenet (1941, 92) dates to IVcd because it occurs
in Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated to just before AD
360 on the basis of 215 coins (Chenet 1941, 20
and 154). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 189) dates the
type to IVcd. See also the last paragraph of the
article on Gellep 274, immediately below.
Date: IVcd.
115 Gellep 274: 10 examples
Small terra nigra footed bowl.
Examples: B 135.2, B 299.1, B 465.3, B 687.2, B
702.1, B 801.2, B 828.1, B stray 214, B stray 267,
OO 481.1.
Discussion: This is a diicult type, as it was three
times deined by Pirling (1966, 67-8 and 128-30;
1974, 57), twice for Roman (Gellep 51 and 274)
and once for Frankish graves (Gellep 131).
Pirling (1966, 68) identiies type Gellep 51 with
Chenet 342 (Chenet 1941, 91-94). An interesting
detail is that the German archaeologist Pirling
derives it from Germanic examples, and the
Frenchman Chenet from Gaulish ones. The truth
seems to lie midway: in the Rhine area, as
Chenet himself (1941, 92 note 2) argues. About
its date and provenance, Chenet (1941, 92) says it
was produced in Lavoye in IV. He knows it from
Lavoye, Sépulture A, dated to just before AD 360
on the basis of 215 coins (Chenet 1941, 20 and
154); from Lavoye, the small hypocaust of ield
752 (IV, dated by coins of Constantinus II 337340, Theodora 337-340, Constans 337-350, Urbs
Roma ater 340, Magnentius 350-351: Chenet
1941, 26-27); and from Lavoye, kiln E, dated IV
(Chenet 1941, 24). Pirling (1966, 68) has a Gellep
51 from IIIcd; Pirling (1966, 129) has some examples of Gellep 131 from Vab and VB. Pirling (1974,
93-4) has examples of Gellep 131 from Frankish
phases II and III, i.e. Vcd-VIa and VIbcd (Pirling
1966, 22). Pirling/Siepen (2006) no longer mentions either type Gellep 51 or 131 as Roman, but
Gellep 274 is treated (2006, 189) and mostly dated to IVab and once to IVB.
However, in the Nijmegen grave B 135, a Gellep
274 is associated with a Gellep 52 (discussed immediately below), to be dated IVd-Va; and in
grave B 465, dated to AD 434-450, Gellep 274
also igures.
So Gellep 274, a shape also found in Frankish
potery, must at least be dated IVa-Vb for Roman graves, and for Frankish ones up to VId.
Footed bowls Chenet 342 and Gellep 252, 273
and 274 cross the border between Roman and
Germanic potery. Erdrich (1998) argues that
these terra nigra footed bowls combine techni-
302
—
cal and formal stimuli from Roman and Germanic examples and that Frankish immigrants in the
Roman Empire combined Roman techniques
with Germanic shapes. He calls the footed bowls
a potery genre of the Salian Franks.
Date: IVa-VId.
116 Gellep 52-53: 2 examples
Globular beaker of not completely dark, but
smooth terra nigra with proiled shoulder and
short concave neck.
Examples: B 135.1, B stray 221.
Discussion: Beaker B 135.1 is halfway between
beaker types Gellep 52 and Gellep 53, which
Pirling (1966, 68) inds comparable and contemporary. She dates both to IVd because of the
association of one of them with a barbaric coin
of c.AD 400. But there is also an exact parallel for
the shape of B 135.1: Symonds 1992, 67 and ig.
50 no. 854, from Roanne. This belongs to the
heterogeneous group Symonds 64, generally
dated to IV; this group also contains an exact
parallel for the shape of Gellep 52: no. 855, in
Mainz. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 180) dates both
types to IVd-Va.
Date: IVd-Va.
117 ± Chenet 333j: 1 example
Small tulip-shaped beaker of terra nigra-like
sandy potery.
Example: B 606.1.
Discussion: Chenet (1941, Pl. XVI-XVII and 81-4)
distinguished his type 333 (footed tulip-shaped
beakers with reddish yellow slip and constricted
foot) in the long series 333a-k. Our beaker is of
terra nigra-like potery and has no foot. The
nearest Gellep shape is the terra sigillata Gellep
17, dated by Pirling/Siepen (2006, 47) IVcd-Va.
Date: IVcd-Va.
118 Symonds 61 in diferent variants in terra nigra: 6
examples
Terra nigra beaker on narrow foot, globular body
and high conical neck.
Symonds 61 smooth: 4 examples
Examples: B 387.2, OO stray 112-114.
Symonds 61 grooved: 1 example
Example: OO 468.1.
Symonds 61 incised: 1 example
Example: OO stray 138.
Symonds 61 with incised groove: 1 example
Example: OO stray 115.
Discussion: These are beakers of a common shape
in ine dark coloured ware, executed here in terra nigra. As the production of dark coloured Trier
beakers stopped in AD 355 (see above, potery
ware C4), we might date these imitations to
IVcd. However, the corresponding types in
Pirling/Siepen, Gellep 646 (2006, 176) and Gellep
270 (2006, 177), are dated in the same time as
the same shapes in ware C4.
Date: IV.
119 Symonds 62 in terra nigra: 2 examples
Indented beakers in terra nigra with narrow foot,
globular indented body and high conical neck.
Examples: OO stray 116-7.
Discussion: For these, the same holds as for the
above Symonds 61 in terra nigra. The corresponding type in Pirling/Siepen (2006, 180) is
Gellep 94, dated IVd-Va.
Date: IVd-Va.
120 Symonds 65 in terra nigra: 1 example
Small beaker in terra nigra with low shoulder
and conical neck.
Example: OO stray 118.
Discussion: Symonds 65 is dated globally in IV and
belongs to the group of late terra nigra (Symonds 1992, 67-68 and ig. 50, nos 857-863).
Symonds remarks that this shape was not popular outside Trier. The presence of just a single example in Nijmegen does not contradict this.
Date: IV.
121 Gellep 378: 1 example
Small tulip-shaped terra nigra beaker.
Example: OO 132.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1989) says nothing about this
type but the caption of type plate 3: in Gellep, it
is of potery ware C4 reddish brown sherd, faintly lustrous greyish black coating. The parallel as
303
—
regards the shape in Symonds (1992, no. 641, ig.
35 and p. 54-5) belongs to Symonds’ group 43
from Trier, which was made in this ware. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 93-94) dates the ine dark coloured type to III-IVa.
Date: IV.
122 Nijmegen 122: 1 example
Terra nigra two-handled jug with globular body,
wide neck and wide vertical band-shaped lip
decorated with straight and wavy grooves.
Example: OO 144.4.
Discussion: There is no parallel for this shape in
the literature known to me. Only the vertical
band-shaped lip is reminiscent of fourth century
jugs Gellep 45 and related types. The other inds
in grave OO 144 date the grave to 300-355.
Date: AD 300-355.
123 Nijmegen 123: 1 example
Small hemispherical terra nigra bowl on low
foot.
Example: B stray 95.
Discussion: This is a variant in a diferent potery
ware of Symonds 55, which is not explicitly dated, but implicitly to III (Symonds 1992, 59 and
ig. 43). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 83) dates Gellep
367 (= Symonds 55) to IIIAB.
Date: ?
124 Alzei 26: 1 example
Terra nigra footed bowl with everted rim.
Example: B stray 96.
Discussion: Its presence in Alzei, which was inhabited AD 370-400 and 406-450 (Cüppers 1990,
302-3), dates this form to IVd-Vab.
Date: IVd-Vab.
G Coarse potery
Coarse potery is ire-proof and was used for
cooking in the case of cooking-pots Gellep 100110 and for dishes Gellep 126-128 and related
types. These oten have burning-marks on the
outside; cooking-pots also oten have black
traces of burnt food on the inside. Pirling calls
Gellep 126-128 and related types plates; in this
study, they are called dishes. I interpret the dishes
as baking-dishes and the jugs as water boilers.
Wherever possible, a distinction is made in the
present study between three production centres
in the Eifel (Gose 1950, 40):
coarse volcanic tempering material, from Mayen;
large quantity of ine tempering material, from
Urmitz;
greyish brown sherd, from Speicher.
125 Gellep 100: 3 examples
Coarse cooking-pot with marked and concave
neck.
Examples: B stray 6, OO 482.1, OO stray 293.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 83) mentions four Gellep
examples made in Mayen, two of which are datable: one to IVa by a coin, one to IVB by association with glazed potery (see however the discussion of the date of glazed potery above).
Pirling (1979, 42) dates a new example to IVcd
because of a coin of AD 346. The Nijmegen examples also have the coarse volcanic temper
typical of Mayen. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 193) subsumes types Gellep 100 and 101 in one type
100/101, dated IVBC.
Date: IVBC.
126 Gellep 101: 1 example
Coarse cooking-pot with marked and concave
neck and low vertical lip.
Example: B 674.4.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 83) dates the only Gellep
example to IVBC because of association with a
Gellep 99; it is Mayen ware. Pirling (1979, 42-43)
bases the date of a new example found without
other grave goods on that of 1966: IVBC. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 193) subsumes types Gellep 100
and 101 in one type 100/101, dated IVBC.
Date: IVBC.
127 ± Gellep 102: 2 examples
Coarse jar with marked and conical neck.
Examples: B stray 77, OO stray 212.
304
—
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 84) has ive Gellep examples, two of which she dates to IVab, and a
third one implicitly later, because of association
with a Gellep 106 ‘with sickle-shaped proile’:
IVB (see however the discussion of Gellep 105
and Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131). Pirling (1974,
58) dates a new example to IVcd because of association with a Gellep 120 and a Gellep 122 (see
however the discussion of Gellep 122, type ig.
151). Pirling (1979, 43) dates an example to IVAB
because of association with a Symonds 61; and a
second one to IVB because of association with a
glazed piece (see however the discussion of the
date of glazed potery above). Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 194) dates the type to IV.
Date: IVAB.
128 Gellep 103: 3 examples
Coarse indented cooking-pot.
Examples: B 482.2, OO stray 213-214.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 84) dates an example to
IVB because of association with a glazed piece
(see however the discussion of the date of
glazed potery above). Pirling (1974, 58) arrives
at the same date for a new example on the same
basis. Pirling (1979, 43) dates a new specimen to
IVcd because of association with a heart-shaped
strap end. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 194-5) dates the
type IVBC.
Date: IVBC.
129 Gellep 104: 3 examples
Coarse cooking-pot with wide mouth and everted lip.
Examples: B stray 47, B stray 203, OO stray 215.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 84) cites Hussong (1936,
78): the shape begins end of IV and lives on in
Frankish context. She is not able to date three
Gellep examples from Mayen with more precision. Pirling/Siepen (2006) does not seem to discuss this type as Roman any more.
Date: IVd-V.
130 Gellep 105: 44 examples
Coarse cooking-pot with everted lip and lidseating.
Examples: B 11.1, B 54.5, B 88.3, B 150.5, B 165.2, B
182.6, B 189.3, B 216.6, B 219.5, B 243.1, B stray
9-10, B stray 46, B stray 68, B stray 69, B stray
99, B stray 103, OO 2.1, OO 9.3, OO 25.2, OO 30.3,
OO 40.2, OO 40.3, OO 63.4, OO 69.2, OO 71.1, OO
101.3, OO 101.4, OO 116.1, OO 131.2, OO 133.3, OO
144.5, OO 169.2, OO 169.3, OO 176.8, OO 186.4,
OO 200.5, OO 232.2, OO 249.1, OO 287.1, OO
299.3, OO 469.2, OO 475.4, OO stray 217.
Discussion: Gellep 105, like Gellep 106 and Gellep
122, is a source of too late dates in Pirling’s studies. This cooking-pot, derived from Niederbieber
89 and further developing into Alzei 27, has
many diferent lip proiles. Oelmann (1914, 72)
and Unverzagt (1916, discussion of Alzei 27) had
already remarked that the lip proiles of this
cooking-pot of III and IV cannot be chronologically distinguished from one another. Pirling
changes her mind on this type twice between
her studies of 1966, 1974 and 1979. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 225-7) again takes a diferent
view, cites the heated debate on rim shapes and
even splits the type up into Gellep 460 ‘with lidseating (also known as heart-shaped proile)’,
present from Gellep grave 3475 up to 6351, and
Gellep 105 ‘with everted rim’, for which the term
‘sickle-shaped proile’ is no longer present in the
deinition but lingers on in the discussion. This
spliting up of the type is not followed here for
the simple reason that the so-called heartshaped proile does igure frequently within type
Gellep 105 in Pirling’s earlier Gellep publications,
i.e. in many graves with numbers lower than
3475.
In 1966 (84-7), Pirling follows Von Petrikovits
(1937), who opposes Unverzagt and sketches a
development from a ‘fading of the heart-shaped
proile’ (with a quarter-round moulding, Viertelrundstab, under the lip) via a ‘sharp-sided proile’
(with a sharp moulding, Dreikantstab, under the
lip) to a ‘sickle-shaped proile’ (without moulding under the lip). Pirling shows (1966, 85, ig. 10)
seventeen variants of the proile, numbered a-r,
which she tries to order chronologically; this fails
already at proile a.
In 1974, Pirling (1974, 58-60) cites a diferent
305
—
classiication, by Fellmann (1952), and concludes
that it opposes that of Von Petrikovits. She does
not agree with either on the basis of coin-dated
inds at Gellep, but still believes in a global development ‘heart-shaped - sharp-sided - sickleshaped’. At the same time, she does not want to
force them into a chronological scheme.
In 1979 (Pirling 1979, 43-4), the use of Fellmann’s
scheme leads to an improbable result. Her last
words on the question are: ‘It is becoming clearer all the time that the proiles difer very much
from one another and that they do hardly allow
of a chronological scheme.’
She does not, however, draw the conclusion she
should have drawn: Oelmann and Unverzagt
were right, and the lip proile of Gellep 105 cannot be used for dating associated inds. All
Pirling’s late dates for other types on the basis of
association with a ‘sickle-shaped proile’ of
Gellep 105 must be dropped.
Gellep 105 itself, however, can be dated through
association with coins and other potery. Pirling
(1966, 86) has one Gellep 105 in a grave that
could be dated ‘still in III’ because of three jugs
Gellep 84. A grave with a Gellep 105 and a coin of
Constantine is dated IVab. Other graves with
Gellep 105 are dated to IVB, among other things
because of association with a piece of glazed
potery (see however the discussion of the date
of glazed potery above). Pirling (1974, 59-60)
mentions coins dated from AD 303 to 330-335 in
graves with a Gellep 105. Pirling (1979, 43) mentions a grave with a coin of AD 313 and one with
potery of IVab date.
The type is dated by coins in only two Nijmegen
graves: AD 295 (grave B 219) and AD 299-303
(grave OO 176). Sixteen graves with more than
one artefact, one of which a Gellep 105, have
IVab dates (B 54, B 150, B 182, B 189, B 216, B 219,
OO 25, OO 71, OO 133, OO 144, OO 169, OO 186,
OO 200, OO 232, OO 249, OO 475), whereas six
such graves have a date of IVAB not depending
on a Gellep 105 alone (B 88, OO 9, OO 30, OO
101,OO 299, OO 469).
This brings us to a date of IIId-IVB for cookingpot Gellep 105 (and Gellep 460, which is not rec-
ognized here as a type in its own right).
NB The presence of shoes in the large jar of this
type in grave OO 63 makes it probable that the
jar further contained clothes, and certain that it
did not contain food. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 225)
cites Haupt (1984, 448-9), who says that large
pots were made for special agrarian and
manufacturing uses.
Date: IIId-IVB.
131 Gellep 106: 50 examples
Coarse cooking-pot with handle, everted lip an
lid-seating.
Examples: B 57.2, B 59.5, B 67.3, B 81.4, B 94.2, B
151.3, B 181.3, B 184.1, B 189.4, B 196.3, B 197.3, B

476.3, OO stray 8, OO stray 218-222, OO stray
310.
Discussion: Gellep 106, like Gellep 105 and Gellep
122, is a source of too late dates in Pirling’s studies.
Pirling (1966, 87) writes: ‘Apart from the presence of an eye-shaped handle, these jars correspond to those of type 105. If one wanted to lit
the jar by means of this handle, it could not be
allowed to be large. So the jars of type 106 are
smaller on average than those without handle of
type 105. The proiles of the jars with handle
vary even more than those without.’ (Transl.:
D.St.) She shows nineteen variants of the proile
of Gellep 106, numbered a-t (Pirling 1966, 87, ig.
11). She remarks that the ‘heart-shaped’ proile
with the quarter-round moulding under the lip is
absent, that the ‘sharp-sided’ proile with the
sharp moulding under the lip occurs only twice,
and that the remainder has ‘sickle-shaped’ proiles without moulding under the lip, in all sorts
of variants. She considers them on average
somewhat later than Gellep 105. She can date
two examples: one by a coin of AD 306, the oth-
306
—
er by Frankish personal ornaments of her phases
II and III (c.425-525 and c.525-600: Pirling 1966,
22).
As with Gellep 105, the denial follows in 1974
(Pirling 1974, 60-61): ‘heart-shaped, sharp-sided
and sickle-shaped’ appear to be contemporaneous. So also all Pirling’s late dates on the basis of
association with a Gellep 106 of ‘sickle-shaped’
proile must be dropped. She then dates Gellep
106 by means of coins of AD 313 and 323.
Pirling (1979, 44) has three dates for Gellep 106:
by a coin of AD 307, by a piece of glazed potery
of IVB (see however the discussion of the date of
glazed potery above), and by a west-east orientation of a grave, ‘so’ from IVcd.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 197-8) no longer distinguishes between ‘heart-shaped’ and ‘sickleshaped’ proiles and dates the cooking-pots of
light colour and small particles of tempering material ‘throughout the period’, the other wares to
IV.
Only one Nijmegen grave with a Gellep 106 has a
coin date: AD 301-303, grave OO 149); ive other
have earlier coins ranging from I BC to AD II (B
59, B 67, B 203, B 218, OO 168). Sixteen graves
with more than one artefact, one of which a
Gellep 106, have IVab context dates (B 59, B 151,
B 181, B 184, B 189, B 196, B 197, B 206, B 228, B
730, OO 71, OO 102, OO 149, OO 152, OO 168, OO
197), whereas nine such graves have a context
date of IVAB not depending on a Gellep 106
alone (B 57, B 67, B 81, B 94, B 203, B 234, B 293,
OO 62, OO 476).
This makes the date for Gellep 106: IVAB (with
late representants IVcd-VId, apparently not occurring in Nijmegen).
Date: IVAB.
132 Nijmegen 132: 1 example
Coarse lat lid without rim proile and lat knob.
Example: OO stray 229.
Discussion: No parallel known.
Date: ?
133 Gose 564: 2 examples
Coarse lid with low rim-proile and conical knob,
lat on top.
Examples: B stray 97, B stray 101.
Discussion: Gose (1950, 47) dates this lid to IIIcd.
However, B stray 101 was found on a Gellep 106
and is therefore to be dated IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
134 ± Gellep 483: 1 example
Coarse lid with lightly indented rim, convex wall
and lat knob.
Example: OO stray 259.
Discussion: No real parallels for this large lid, d 21,
are known to me. The Gellep 483 which Pirling
(1989, type plate 14) depicts is not discussed
there. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 210) dates the only
example in Gellep to IIIab.
Date: ?
135 Gellep 108: 4 examples
Coarse cooking-pot with marked, somewhat
narrow neck.
Examples: B 98.2, B 258.1, B 465.4, B stray 56.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 88-89) mentions a
Gellep 108 from a grave with a coin to be dated
ater AD 364. Three examples outside Gellep
lead to her date: from IVd onwards. Pirling (1979,
44-45) repeats this date for two new examples:
one from a west-east grave, one from a grave
with glass beakers of IVd date. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 200) dates the shape to IVd until Frankish
times, but cites a coin dated AD 364 associated
with Gellep 108.
Our example B 98.2, however, is associated with
a coin of AD 310 and a Symonds 61, dated IVAB,
in an east-west grave. So Gellep 108 igures already in IVB; or, when the coin dating-rules used
in the present study are applied, grave B 98 even
dates within coin periods 2 and 3, i.e. between
the date of the coin, AD 310, and AD 330. I therefore date grave B 98 to AD 330 and type Gellep
108 to AD 330-V.
Date: AD 330-V.
136 Gellep 109: 46 examples
Coarse cooking-pot with marked concave neck
and vertical handle.

472.3, OO 483.3, OO stray 223-228, OO stray 317.
Discussion: This common handled cooking-pot
derives from Niederbieber 95. Pirling (1966, 89)
dates most examples to IVAB and gives coindatings of AD 326 and 348. Associations with a
Gellep 104 and a Gellep 52 lead to a date of IVcd:
so it occurs throughout IV. Pirling (1974, 61-62)
has associations with coins of AD 305, 313, 317,
320, 330 and 346: IVAB, whereas Pirling (1979,
45) has associations with coins of AD 332 and 333
(2x), twice with glazed potery from IVB (see
however the discussion of the date of glazed
potery above), once with a glass pointed beaker
Gellep 185 and a heart-shaped belt-tongue of
IVcd. Again: throughout IV. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
199) again dates the shape throughout IV.
In Nijmegen graves, the shape igures eight
times in IVab (B 319, B 760, B 764, B 779, B 820,
OO 42, OO 361, OO 433), twelve times in IVAB (B
482, B 827, OO 24, OO 37, OO 56, OO 308, OO
322 (2x), OO 373, OO 423, OO 472, OO 483), twice
together with the disputed type Gellep 122 (B
344, B 715) and three times together with the
long-lived type Gellep 34 (B 250, B 773, B 792). In
Nijmegen too, the shape may have been used
througout IV, but its use in IVC cannot be proven
or refuted.
Date: IV.
137 Gellep 110: 2 examples
Coarse cooking-jar with vertical handle and
slightly concave neck.
Examples: OO 463.5, OO stray 320.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 89) cannot date this
cooking-pot, as it is twice the only artefact in the
grave. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 200) has one example dated by a coin of 340 and dates the type to
IVcd.
Date: IVcd.
138 Gellep 111: 2 examples
Coarse indented beaker with cylindrical neck.
Examples: B 114.1, B stray 206.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 90) remarks that this
beaker has the model of the ine dark coloured
beakers, and she cites one example, which is
dated to IVd by a coin of AD 375. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 195) repeats this date.
Date: IVd.
139 Gose 545: 1 example
Large coarse jar with lid-seating.
Example: OO 106.1.
Discussion: Although this jar has the shape of
Gellep 105 (see remark there), its size is enormous (h 31.7, d 33.3). Gose (1950, 46) dates an
example from Trier, Altbachtal to IVA.
Date: IVA.
140 Nijmegen 140: 1 example
Coarse small yellow and pink beaker.
Example: B 80.3.
Discussion: This beaker of yellow and pink coarse
ware, and Gellep 93 of greyish black smooth
ware have the shape of Symonds 61. Pirling
(1966, 81-82) does not date the only Gellep example. However, she does date Gellep 94, of the
same greyish black ware and with the indented
form of Symonds 62, to IVd-Va, because of its
association with a belt with animals’ heads and
with a glass beaker Gellep 192. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 178) dates the type to IVab. Our example,
however, is associated with two IVAB shapes: a
Symonds 61 and a Gellep 41.
Date: IVAB.
141 Gellep 496: 2 examples
Coarse crucible-shaped beaker.
Examples: B stray 236?, OO 19.1.
Discussion: Pirling (1989, type plate 14) depicts
this beaker without discussing it. It already occurs as Niederbieber 119, so it already exists in
IIIAB. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 218) dates the only
Gellep example to IVab (it is accompanied by a
308
—
coin of AD 308), Mayen-made examples to IVcd
and examples from graves in Mayen to IVC.
Date: IIIA-IVC.
142 Gellep 673: 1 example
Coarse jug with wide base, narrow neck and
pinched spout.
Example: OO stray 36.
Discussion: Pirling/Siepen (2006, 202) mentions
one example from a IId-IIIa grave in Gellep.
Date: IId-IIIa.
143 Niederbieber 98 or Gose 512: 1 example
See Remainder stray 19 in Chapter 4, Catalogue of
the stray inds.
144 Gellep 115: 14 examples
Coarse jug with conical neck and pinched spout.
Examples: B 6.2, B 86.5, B 728.1, B 815.1, B stray
57, B stray 208, B stray 217, B stray 266 (small
related shape), OO 78.2, OO 161.3, OO 356.3, OO
stray 24, OO stray 33-4.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 91) dates an example to
IVab because of a coin of AD 309 and a Gellep 57,
and two to IVcd on the basis of a Gellep 106 with
‘sickle-shaped proile’ (see however discussion
of Gellep 105 and Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131)
and a small bowl Gellep 28. Pirling (1974, 62-63)
dates three out of seventeen new examples with
coins of AD 303, 305 and 310, and the other ones
to IVAB on the basis of unspeciied associations.
Pirling (1979, 45-46) dates eight new examples
to IVa-Vab: four to IVab, two to IVB, one ‘late’
because of a west-east oriented grave, and one
to Vab because of a buckle with ixed plate and
animals’ heads. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 203) dates
the type to IVa-Va and mentions the variation in
size, 18.5-33.5 cm, with a mode between 23 and
28 cm. In Nijmegen, the mode is 19-26 cm, with
one outlier at 12 and one at 29 cm.
In view of the thermal shock-proof coarse ware,
this must be a water boiler.
Date: IVa-Va.
145 Gose 516/517: 2 examples
Coarse jug with lat horizontal lip.
Examples: B stray 73, OO 194.1.
Discussion: This jug corresponds to Niederbieber
96 and is dated by Gose (1950, 44, pl. 51) IId-IIIab if one looks at Gose 516, and IIIcd if at Gose
517. Jug Gellep 66, similar to Gose 516 and discussed immediately below, suggests a later date:
IVAB.
In view of the thermal shock-proof coarse ware,
this must be a water boiler.
Date: IId-IVB.
146 Gellep 66: 8 examples
Coarse jug with marked neck and horizontal lip.
Examples: B 59.6, B 395.2, B 730.1, B 820.1, B stray
2, OO 196.3, OO 203.2, OO 382.2.
Discussion: This jug corresponds to Niederbieber
96 and with Gose 516. Gose (1950, 44, pl. 51)
dates his 516 to IIIcd. Pirling (1966, 72-3) assigned this shape to a diferent ware: D2, red
painted and dated it to IVab because of its
association with a coin of Constantine, a hemispherical beaker Gellep 222 and a jug with painted bands. Pirling (1974, 50) dates Gellep 66
implicitly to IVcd on the basis of coins of AD 313
and 315, a Gellep 122 (see however the discussion of Gellep 122, type ig. 151) and a Gellep 106
(see however the discussion of Gellep 105 and
Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131). Pirling (1979, 38)
dates two examples to IVA (‘Constantinian age’)
and one to IVB on the basis of a piece of glazed
potery (see however the discussion of the date
of glazed potery above). Pirling/Siepen (2006,
205) transposes Gellep 66 to fabric G, coarse
ware, mentioning the same ive examples that
were called ware D2 earlier (Pirling 1966, 72),
and dates the type to IVAB.
In view of the thermal shock-proof coarse ware,
this must be a water boiler.
Date: IVAB.
147 Nijmegen 147: 1 example
Coarse double-handled jug with biconical body
and horizontal lip.
Example: OO 200.4.
Discussion: No parallel is known to me but the
irst-century Stuart 131. The other inds of grave
309
—
OO 200 date the grave to IVab.
Date: IVab.
148 Nijmegen 148: 1 example
Small coarse footed bowl.
Example: B stray 227.
Discussion: This is a variant of terra nigra footed
bowl Gellep 274. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 189) dates
Gellep 274 to IVab, but it is argued above that it
should be dated IVa-VId. The Nijmegen example
is in coarse ware.
Date: IVa-VId.
149 Gellep 120: 20 examples
Coarse bowl with rim thickened on inside and
with constricted foot.
Examples: B 123.intr., B 150.4, B 177.4, B 177.5, B
216.4, B 451.2, B stray 98, B stray 293, OO 144.6,
OO 170.3, OO 176.9, OO 250.2, OO 413.2, OO
483.4, OO stray 26, OO stray 232-235, OO stray
311.
Discussion: Gellep 120-122, which always have a
groove under the rim, are diicult to distinguish
(by the width of the base). They all evolve from
Niederbieber 104.
Pirling (1966, 92) dates graves in which Gellep
120 occurs to IVa and IVB. Pirling (1974, 64) discusses Gellep 120 and Gellep 121 together and
dates two graves with new examples to IVab,
and a third one to IVB because of the presence
of a Gellep 103. Pirling (1979, 46) also discusses
them together and dates them with two coins of
AD 313 and 341. The later one is IVB, the two
others IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 216) dates the
bowl to II-IVB.
Date: II-IVB.
150 Gellep 121: 5 examples
Coarse bowl with lip thickened on inside and
wide base.
Examples: B 47.3, B stray 292, OO 136.2, OO 252.4,
OO stray 25.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 92-93) remarks that
Gellep 120 and Gellep 121 cannot be distinguished chronologically and dates Gellep 121 to
IVab and IVB on the basis of associated inds.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 216) dates the bowl to
IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
151 Gellep 122: 37 examples
Coarse bowl with lip thickened on inside.
Examples: B 5.3, B 139.1, B 176.5, B 189.5, B 189.6,
B 220.1, B 248.3, B 334.2, B 344.2, B 456.3, B
715.3, B 730.3, B 764.7, B 779.3, B 803.1, B 834.3,
B stray 18-20, B stray 215, OO 20.3, OO 42.3, OO
71.3, OO 78.3, OO 168.7, OO 176.10, OO 197.2, OO
243.3, OO 249.2, OO 361.3, OO 382.3, OO 482.2,
OO stray 9, OO stray 58, OO stray 236, OO stray
305, OO stray 315.
Discussion: Gellep 122, like Gellep 105 and Gellep
106, is a source of too late dates in Pirling’s studies. Pirling (1966, 93) cites Unverzagt (1916, 34),
who remarks in the discussion of Alzei 28 (the
not very similar descendant of Gellep 122) that
the everted rim is a characteristic that begins c.
AD 350. (It must be remarked here that Gellep
122 does not have an everted rim.) At the time,
Pirling only had two examples of Gellep 122, one
of which she dates too late, in IVc, on the basis
of association with a Gellep 72 (of IVab date) and
a Gellep 106 ‘of sickle-shaped proile’ (see however the discussions of Gellep 105 and Gellep
106, type igs. 130-131); she dates the other (in
grave 772) implicitly to IVcd because of a Gellep
109, a glass botle Gellep 199 and an axe.
Pirling (1974, 64-65) again cites Unverzagt but
also Von Petrikovits and Fellmann, and discusses
three examples that make her think of IVcd because of associations with Gellep 106 ‘with sickle-shaped proile’ (see however the discussions
of Gellep 105 and Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131),
but which are also associated each with a Gellep
72, of IVab date. Her conclusion then is, that the
example of bowls of type Gellep 122 in Gellep
does not clearly airm a IVcd date.
Pirling (1979, 46-47) must again admit that association with jug Gellep 81 and Gellep 83 points
to a IVab date.
So most examples are clearly dated to IVab, and
the association with a Gellep 122 should not be
used to argue a IVcd or later date (e.g. Pirling
310
—
1979, 48, when discussing a Gellep 128). Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 217) dates most Gellep examples
(without discussion) to IVcd, but says that they
also igure in IVab graves.
Date: IVab.
from other sites as late as Va, there is no proof
of such late example in Gellep. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 236-7) dates the dish to IV. Nijmegen has
no grave later than IVAB containing a Gellep 126.
Date: IVAB.
152 Niederbieber 103: 2 examples
Coarse bowl with carinated wall and everted lip.
Examples: B 319.2, OO stray 237.
Discussion: The designation for these two bowls,
‘Niederbieber 103’, has been chosen for want of
something beter: no real parallels are known to
me. The lid-seating and the quarter-round
moulding, common to Niederbieber 103 and 89,
are absent here. The association of B 319.2 with
a Künzl 1.4.1 justiies a IVab date.
Date: IVab.
154 Nijmegen 154: 1 example
Coarse dish with base-disk and in-turned lip.
Example: B 451.3.
Discussion: This is a baking-dish. There is no parallel for this shape known to me; it is a variant of
Gellep 126. The other two pieces of potery in B
451, a Symonds 61 and a Gellep 120, are to be
dated IVAB. So this new shape is to be dated to
IVAB, like Gellep 126.
Date: IVAB.
153 Gellep 126: 47 examples
Coarse dish with in-turned lip.
Examples: B 85.2, B 90.3, B 423.3, B 676.3, B
686.4, B 705.2, B 705.intr., B 725.2, B 728.2, B

Discussion: This is a baking-dish. Pirling (1966, 94)
already mentions 28 examples and calls this dish
one of the most frequent shapes of Gellep. She
dates the shape throughout IV: one to IVab, ive
to IVB because of association with glazed pottery (see however the discussion of the date of
glazed potery above), and one possibly IVcd because of a bowl Gellep 28. Some examples from
elsewhere are dated IVd and Va.
Pirling (1974, 65-66) names 46 new examples,
four of which dated by coins of AD 307, 315, 317
and 324. Also in other Gellep graves there was
no proof of dates later than IVab, but Pirling
names two examples outside Gellep, dated by
coins of AD 364 and 367. Pirling (1979, 47) again
has three examples dated by coins of AD 307, 313
and 333. She adds: although this type is known
155 Gellep 513: 1 example
Coarse dish with convex wall.
Example: OO stray 59.
Discussion: This is a baking-dish. It is one out of
seventeen new types of dishes that Pirling (1989,
type plate 15) depicts without discussing them.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 230) dates the type to IIaIIIB. So the Nijmegen example may be a stray
ind from the irst-century cemetery O on the
same plot as the fourth-century OO.
Date: IIa-IIIB.

Discussion: These are baking-dishes (Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 235): many have burning-marks.
Pirling (1966, 95-96) distinguishes two sizes
(Gellep 127, large, and Gellep 128, small) and six
variants ater the shape of the wall because she
hopes for a chronological distinction, but with
hardly any result. Pirling (1974, 66-67) gives up
the distinction between the variants for want of
chronological results. Carelessness on the part of
the poter with this plainest and cheapest shape
led to the variation in shape. She gives several
coin-dates: AD 299, 303, 305, 313, 316, 317, 323,
330, 333, and adds that in any case they were not
used in IVcd. Pirling (1979, 47-48) repeats this,
but strangely enough she wants to date one example to IVcd because of association with a
Gellep 122 (see however the discussion of Gellep
122, type ig. 151). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 234-6)
gives up the diference in size and drops type
Gellep 127; the dishes are dated to IIIcd-IVAB:
some are associated with Gellep glazed potery
(see however the discussion of the date of
glazed potery above).
Date: IVAB.
157 Gellep 497: 1 example
Coarse dish with almost vertical wall and horizontal lip.
Example: B 207.5.
Discussion: This is a baking-dish. It is one of seventeen new types of dishes that Pirling (1989,
type plate 15) depicts without discussing them.
The overlap in time of the other potery in B 207
is IVab. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 229) dates the dish
to IIcd-IIIa.
Date: IVab.
Coarse dish, no data: 2 examples
Examples: B 169.2, B 182.8.
158 Gellep 666: 4 examples
Coarse money box with convex wall sinking inwards where there is small horizontal plane with
a coin slot.
Examples: B 372.4, B stray 3, OO stray 255-256.
Discussion: The nature of the money box implies
that it will be damaged in the end, so it is not
certain that Gellep 123 (Pirling 1966, 93, type
plate 10) was indeed a money box. The only
possible money box from Nijmegen excavations
(as opposed to stray inds), B 372.4, contained
no coins. One end of the coin slot of B stray 3 is
preserved: it certainly was a money box. Why an
empty money box should be placed in a grave is
uncertain. As a children’s atribute? Boldeti
(1720, 496), reproduced in Willemsen (2003, 79,
ig. 52) seems to imply so by showing two money boxes amidst children’s atributes from Roman catacombs. Grave B 372 was incomplete, so
we do not know whether it was a child’s grave;
the other three pieces of potery in it (a beaker
Symonds 61, a large terra sigillata plate Gellep
41, and a small bowl ± Gellep 29) suggest it was
the grave of an adult, dated IVAB. So, though
Kellner (in Wamser 2000, 118-9 ig. 92) calls the
Roman money-box a timeless shape, we can
easily date the only Nijmegen grave it was found
in. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 213) inds it hard to date
the two money-boxes in Gellep. Fiedler/Höpken
(2007, 97) reports the ind of a series of opened
money boxes in a ritual deposit in Apulum (Rumania) and suggests the function of an ofertory-box. This causes Höpken (2008) to suggest
that an opened money box in a grave means
that money was collected by friends and relations of the deceased in order to pay for the funeral. For money boxes, see also Graeven 1901.
Date: IVAB.
Potery, no data or no type: 14 examples

Handmade potery
ROMAN GLASS
159- Diferent shapes: 6 examples
164 Examples: B 751.3, B 795.1, B stray 260?, OO
340.2, OO 340.3, OO 426.2.
Discussion: Handmade potery, six pieces, was excavated in four graves. Grave B 795 had beaker B
795.1 as the only grave good; the other unique
trait of the grave was a group of imbrices partially covering it underground. The beaker cannot
therefore have been given because of budding
ethnic sentiments: otherwise, the exceptional
covering with Roman building material would
not have been chosen.
Strikingly, the other graves containing handmade potery also contained datable wheelmade potery; in two of them personal ornaments allow us to tell sex and age of the
deceased. The small biconical jar B 751.3 was
found in a small coin with two beakers Künzl
1.4.1 and an iron bracelet with beads: a girl, buried between AD 300/310 and 355. The small urn
OO 426.2 was associated with a beaker Symonds
61 and a crossbow ibula type Prötel 3/4C (Van
Buchem V, Keller 4B): a man, buried between AD
330 and 355.
Two things are immediately clear from this: the
handmade potery was not given for want of
beter, but for an apparently positive reason;
that reason, whatever its nature, could be valid
for a girl and for a man. Moreover, the two
graves were made in fully Roman context.
The small double-handled jar OO 340.3 and jug
OO 340.2 were associated with a terra sigillata
bowl Gellep 34: a person of unknown sex, buried
between AD 300 and 425 (the life span of Gellep
34 in Nijmegen). In the ith century, home industry may have led to the two pieces of handmade potery.
Date: IVa-Va.
The glass (not only the notoriously vulnerable
colourless glass, which was decoloured with
manganese) has frequently disintegrated completely in the acid environment of the Nijmegen
sand. In this case, the shape could only be saved
if it had been already stabilized in situ, e.g. by
spraying it with a solution of joiner’s glue or a
synthetic that hardens on contact with air. This
was frequently not done in the 1950’s and even
later, and as a result the glass has fallen apart
into crumbs with a diameter of 0.2 cm. Nevertheless, the shape could sometimes be noted
down during excavation. Even so, enough larger
fragments and even complete proiles if not
shapes have survived in order to give an overview of the shapes present.
The same order of forms as in Roman potery,
taken over from Pirling, is used here: pots, beakers, botles, one-handled jugs, double-handled
jugs, small bowls, bowls, dishes, plates. Isings
(1957) and studies of Roman glass in the museums of Bonn (Follmann-Schulz 1988), Neuss
(Van Lith 1994), Trier (Goethert-Polaschek 1977),
Mainz (Harter 1999) and Augst/ Kaiseraugst
(Rüti 1991) are also taken into account.
165 Gellep 802 (= Isings 67a): 1 example
Globular jar with latened rim folded outward,
downward and inward.
Example: OO stray 13.
Discussion: This is a storage jar, oten used secondarily as an urn (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 302:
Gellep 802). The examples Isings (1957, 86-7)
mentions are dated IB-III. In Trier, it is dated
from Nero (AD 54-68) to Hadrian (AD 117-138:
Goethert-Polaschek 1977, 240, Form 147a, 352).
In Mainz, it is dated from Augustus (27 BC – AD
14) to Claudius (AD 41-54) and its association
with a coin of Valentinian II (AD 378-383) is
doubted (Harter 1999, 80, Form C1a, 210). The
only Nijmegen example comes from the
Reinaldstraat and so possibly from O (irst-century cemetery O, E, S, CC) or OO (fourth-century
cemetery Nijmegen-East).

—
Date: IB-III.
166 Gellep 700 (= Isings 68): 1 example
Globular ointment jar with latened rim.
Example: B stray 248.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 88-89) counts this form
amidst the irst-century shapes, but also mentions it in a III-IV grave under the Cologne church
of St. Severin. Pirling (1997, type plate 15: Gellep
700) depicts this shape without discussing it. Van
Lith (1994, 310) dates these unguentaria from
Claudian-Neronian age until IId. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 275) calls it a long-lived form and dates it
to Ic-IV.
Date: Ic-IV.
Gellep 178-180 (= Isings 96, Trier 49a): glass hemispherical beakers in three variants of contemporaneous date (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 240).
167 Gellep 178: 12 examples
Glass hemispherical beaker of wide shape.
Examples: B 172.1, B 697.3, B 701.4, B 734.2, B
742.4, B 763.2, B 805.1, OO 37.3, OO 400.2, OO
413.3, OO 484.3, OO stray 260.
168 Gellep 179: possibly 1 example
Glass hemispherical beaker of slender shape.
Example: B 143.3?
169 Gellep 180: 8 examples
Glass hemispherical beaker with slightly everted
rim.
Examples: B 128.1, B 135.3, B 137.2, B 196.5, B
218.8, B 663.2, OO 433.3, OO stray 261.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 113-114) classiies all
hemispherical bowls or beakers (‘We know nothing of their use, however’) of her type 96 with
the third-century shapes, but she dates most examples she mentions to IVcd, and sometimes as
late as Vb. Pirling (1966, 96-97) does not refer to
Isings 96 and subdivides it with the words ‘of
wide shape’, ‘of slender shape’, and’ with slightly everted rim’. The glass-blower cracked them
of and ground the rims smooth. The colour varies from light green to all but colourless. Pirling
(1966, 96) dates some of the Gellep 178 beakers
to IVab or IVcd on the basis of association of
potery; the rest plainly to IV. She divides Gellep
179 and Gellep 180 in a similar way.
Pirling (1974, 67-68) discusses the three shapes
together as there is no chronological diference
and gives coin dates of AD 346, 313, 305, 324 and
307. Conclusion: the beakers occur in Gellep at
least up to the middle of IV, but until later elsewhere. With later examples, the wall is thicker
and the glass contains more bubbles and is darker in colour. Pirling (1979, 48) has three coin
dates AD 333, 341, 341: IVB. One is dated to IVd
because of association with a buckle. FollmannSchulz (1988, 5) classiies, without chronological
consequences, these beakers into four variants
according to the shapes of their rims. The glassblowers cracked of three of these and then
ground the rims smooth. The rim of the fourth
variant was bent outwards and the edge heated
in the furnace to form a ire-rounded rim. This
last variant is generally considered late, but
starts IIIB. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 240-1) treats the
three shapes together, observes that botle
Gellep 197 is oten combined with such a glass,
decides that it must be a cup not a bowl, and
that wine was the content. Goethert-Polaschek
(1977, 50-9, 350) dates these beakers to IV.
Cool (2003, 248; Cool/Baxter 2005) suggests that
these beakers may have been ‘beer glasses for
the lads’ or ‘cups for gentlemen’. For that reason, the Nijmegen glasses have been screened
on the association with known gender attributes. Almost the opposite seems to be the
case in Nijmegen: apart from one association
with a certain and one with a probable male
atribute (axe B 143.8, bucket B 704.9), there are
seven associations with female atributes: with
bracelet B 172.3, beads B 196.6, beads B 218.10,
pin B 663.3, bracelet OO 37.4, comb OO 400.4,
and beads OO 413.4. Moreover, glass beaker B
697.3 was found in a child’s grave, which contained a coin of 120x30 cm and spouted jug B
697.5. So in Nijmegen these beakers could be
used by both genders and all ages, but most of
them are found with women.
Date: IIIc-Vb.

170 Gellep 181: 1 example
Hemispherical glass beaker with blobs in the
same colour of the wall.
Example: B 497.intr.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 116 and 131-2) dates hemispherical beakers of her form 96 with blobs only
to IV. Pirling (1966, 97) has one example from a
grave to be dated IVab, as appears from association with Gellep 80, Gellep 222 and Gellep
223. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 242) repeats this date.
Barkóczy (1972) dates hemispherical beakers
with blobs from Pannonia to c.AD 380-440.
Date: IVab-Vb.
B 680
171 Gellep 182 (= Isings 96a): 3 examples
Hemispherical glass beaker with blue blobs.
Examples: B 680.2, B 704.4, B 766.3.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 116 and 131-2) dates hemispherical beakers of her form 96 with blobs only
to IV. Pirling (1966, 97-98) has one example she
dates to IVB because of association with a Gellep
72 and a Gellep 106 ‘with slightly sickle-shaped
proile (see however the discussion of Gellep 105
and Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131). Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 242) dates it to IVab. Barkóczy (1972)
dates hemispherical beakers with blobs from
Pannonia to c.AD 380-440. Harden et al. (1988,
101-102) follows Fremersdorf (1962, 7 and 13-14),
dates these beakers III-Va and names two processes for making the blobs: dripping them on
and reheating, or dripping them on at such a
high temperature of the beaker that the blob
immediately fuses with the wall.
Date: III-Va.
172 Gellep 189 (= Isings 96b): 8 examples
Hemispherical glass beaker with ive or six
pinches.
Examples: B 381.3, B 481.3, OO 355.1, OO stray
262-266.
Discussion: These beakers have a ire-rounded
rim. Isings (1957, 116 and 132) dates them only to
IV and names several Nijmegen examples.
Pirling (1966, 100) dates an example to IVcd because of association with a Gellep 106 ‘with sickle-shaped proile’ (see however the discussion of
Gellep 105 and Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131);
one example to IVab because of association with
a Gellep 16, and two to IVB. She concludes that
these beakers lasted throughout IV and says that
the shape lasts on in the early Frankish Gellep
238 (see immediately below). Pirling (1974, 71)
dates an example to IVab because of association
with a Gellep 29 and a Gellep 72, one to IVB because of association with a glazed piece of pottery (see however the discussion of the date of
glazed potery above), and two to IVAB. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 248) implicitly dates the beaker to
IIIC-IVab.
Date: IIIC-IVab.
173 Gellep 238 (= Isings 96b): 2 examples
Small glass bowl with glass thread decoration
and pinches.
Examples: B 16.4, OO stray 321
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 153-154) has one example, which she dates to Frankish phase I (Vab,
see Pirling 1966, 22) because of association with
bracelets of that period. Werner (1958, 387 ig.
13) has a distribution map and supposes the origin in a Belgian workshop on the river Maas/
Meuse. The only regularly excavated example in
Nijmegen comes from a grave that contains two
pots dated IVcd; dating this bowl to IVcd also
solves the problem that otherwise there would
be a gap of half a century between related types
Gellep 189 (IIIC-IVab) and Gellep 238 (Vab). So
315
—
the bowl is to be dated IVcd-Vab. Pirling/Siepen
(2006) does not discuss the type, as it had been
deined as Frankish and the book is about Roman inds.
Date: IVcd-Vab.
174 Gellep 190/236: 1 example
Glass cauldron-shaped beaker.
Example: B 465.5.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 100 and 153) deines this
shape twice, once for Roman and once for
Frankish glass. The one in a Roman child’s grave
is dated to IVd because of association with a
barbaric imitation of a coin of Gratian (375-383).
The one in a Frankish grave is dated to Vab because of association with a dish ibula and a
Gellep 149, while bow ibulae found with it are
to be dated at the transition from Frankish phases I to II, i.e. c.AD 450 (Pirling 1966, 22). Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 248) dates the type IVd-Vcd.
Date: IVd-Vcd.
175 Nijmegen 175: 1 example
Low and wide cylindrical beaker of colourless
glass without foot, base bulging slightly up; two
horizontal grooves.
Example: OO stray 323.
Discussion: No parallels known; being a stray ind,
it cannot be dated.
Date: ?
176 Gellep 296 (= Isings 131, Trier 62a): 1 example
Tulip-shaped glass beaker with foot-ring.
Example: OO 250.8.
Discussion: The shape of this beaker is reminiscent of Isings form 131, ovoid jar (Isings 1957,
160), dated IIId-IV. Goethert-Polaschek (1977,
84-6, 350) dates this beaker to IV. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 253-4) dates the beaker to IVab because
of associated potery.
Date: IV.
177 Gellep 183 (= Isings 106b2, Trier 52b): 1 example
Glass blob beaker of slender shape.
Example: OO 200.8.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 98) mentions a single
example from a rich lady’s grave, dated IVab because of association with a Gellep 184 and a
Gellep 75. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 68-9, 350)
dates this beaker to IV. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
242-3) has three examples from rich graves, dated IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
178 Gellep 184 (= Trier 52b): 1 example
Glass beaker of slender shape.
Example: B 206.4.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 98) dates an example c.
AD 300 on account of the latest coin, dated AD
298, of a series of nineteen coins. She dates two
other graves in which it occurs to IVab. Pirling
(1974, 68) also arrives at IVab for three examples. Pirling (1979, 48-49) dates an example also
to IVab because of association with a Gellep 72
and a Gellep 105 ‘of heart-shaped proile’ (see
however the discussion of Gellep 105 and Gellep
106, type igs. 130-131). Pirling/Siepen (2006,
244) mentions three women’s graves in Gellep in
which the type igures and dates the type IIIdIVab. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 68-9, 350) dates
this beaker to IV.
Date: IIId-IVab.
179 Gellep 185 (= Isings 106b1-c2, Trier 53a): 7 examples
Slender conical glass beaker.
Examples: B 125.1, B 143.2, B 512.2, B 674.5, B
726.2, OO 400.3, OO stray 60.
Discussion: This shape corresponds to Isings
106b1, dated by Isings (1957, 127) to IVcd. Pirling
(1966, 98-99) dates an example to IVab because
of association with a Gellep 81 and a Gellep 84a;
and one to IVc because of association with a
chiselled buckle. She draws atention to many
beakers of this shape at Mayen, always with
glass coils, all dated IVC. Pirling (1974, 68-69)
mentions a grave with a coin of AD 341, but
mentions examples elsewhere to be dated ater
AD 351 and between AD 355 and 360, and so
concludes to IVc(d). Pirling (1979, 49) dates one
to IVB because of association with a piece of
glazed potery (see however the discussion of
316
—
the date of glazed potery above), and one to
IVcd because of association with a heart-shaped
strap end. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 255) dates the
type to IVBC. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 69-73,
350) dates the beaker to IV.
Isings and Van Lith (1992, 22) give a colour photograph and a technical description of B 726.2:
‘It is made of bluish green tinted glass and
decorated with yellow glass thread. This was applied in several stages. First, a glass thread was
coiled twice around the lower wall. Ater that,
pieces of glass thread were heated locally in the
lame of an oil lamp, bent into arcs and applied
in pairs one opposite to the other melted onto
the glass wall. Ater that, a glass thread was applied in several coils above them and drawn into
arcs with a small metal hook. In order to get a
good base, the botom was dented in. Finally,
the beaker was cracked of at the desired place
and the rim carefully ground smooth.’ (transl. D.
St.)
A similar example was found at Oudenburg
(Böhme 1974, 295, Pl. 95, 13).
Date: IVBC.
180 Gellep 187: possibly 1 example
Conical beaker with wide base and rim bending
outwards.
Example: OO 209.1?
Discussion: The fragments OO 209.1, the only artefact in the grave, were tentatively identiied as
Gellep 187. Pirling (1966, 99) dates the grave in
which the only Gellep example was found to
IVab, but remarks that the beaker seems to be
much earlier: a piece from Cologne was dated to
II. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 257) dates the same
grave to IIId-IVa and cites parallels from II-IIIC.
Date: II-IVa.
181 Gellep 193? (= Trier 58a): 2 examples
Glass slender bell-shaped beaker with foot-ring.
Examples: B 197.5, OO 101.8.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 101) dates an example to
IVB because of association with two cookingpots Gellep 106 ‘with faint sickle-shaped proile’
(see however the discussion of Gellep 105 and
Gellep 106, type igs. 130-131) and says that the
shape lasts into Frankish times. Pirling (1974, 71)
dates a new example to IVB because of association with a piece of glazed potery (see however
the discussion of the date of glazed potery
above). Pirling/Siepen (2006, 252) dates the
beaker to IVab. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 7680, 350) dates the beaker to IV.
Date: IVab.
182 Nijmegen 182: 1 example
Tulip-shaped beaker with high foot-ring and applied serpentine glass thread.
Example: B 749.1
Discussion: The serpentine decoration is applied
in the same way as on Gellep 194 (below): thick
glass threads laid in waves whose summits
touch. The shape corresponds to the fourth-century Isings 109b. The drawing of Isings (1957, 136)
shows how the high and wide foot-ring was
made: by pushing the end of the glass balloon
back inwards, so that a double wall was made
with round (hollow or solid) foot-ring. As the
beaker is the only grave good in B 749, we may
date it like Gellep 194 to IVab.
Date: IVab.
183 Gellep 194: 2 examples
Glass beaker with foot-ring and applied serpentine glass thread.
Examples: B 197.4, B stray 320
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 101-102) dates the only
Gellep example to IVab, but draws atention to
third-century Cologne examples. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 259) repeats this, but inds the date for
the Cologne examples too early. We do not
know the measurements of B 197.4; those of B
stray 320 are enormous, c.40 cm.
Date: IVab.
184 Gellep 294 (= Isings 35): 1 example
Glass beaker with vertical dents and foot-ring.
Example: OO 133.5.
Discussion: Pirling (1974, 72) has one very thinwalled example, which she dates to IVab or IVB.
Fourth-century examples occur at Andernach
317
—
and Vermand (Isings 1957, 49-50). Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 250) dates the beaker to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
185 Gellep 195: 7 examples
High glass beaker with lightly constricted foot
and incised horizontal lines.
Examples: B 7.1, B 150.7, B 719.1, OO 168.10, OO
250.5, OO 290.5, OO 423.3.
Discussion: As with the Gellep examples, the glass
blower has cracked the beaker of and ground its
edge smooth. Pirling (1966, 102) dates two examples to IVB because of association with
glazed potery (see however the discussion of
the date of glazed potery above). Pirling (1974,
72-73) gives the same date to two examples on
the same basis, and IVab or VB to the other ive,
because of association with potery. A last
example is dated to IVAB by Pirling (1979, 50-51).
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 259) dates the beaker to
IVAB. The shape, not treated by Isings (1957),
corresponds to Goethert-Polaschek 59 (1977,
82-3, 350), dated by her to IVC, and to FollmannSchulz (1988, 83, Tafel 36, 147) 285-6, dated to IV.
Date: IVAB.
186 Nijmegen 186: 1 example
Glass serpentine beaker.
Example: B 180.1.
Discussion: The sherds of the only Nijmegen example suggest a beaker. Glass threads applied in
the shape of an 8 and fused on the widest parts
of the 8. The coin date of grave B 180 is AD 316318.
Date: IVa.
187 Gellep 521 (= Isings 114b, Trier 96): 2 examples
Glass beaker on blown foot, with globular body,
a rib at the transition shoulder-neck, and cylindrical neck.
Example: B 687.3, B stray 321
Discussion: B 687.3 has dents in the body and thus
imitates Symonds 62. Pirling (1989, type plate
16) depicts Gellep 521 without discussing it.
Isings (1957, 142-3) calls it an imitation of the
ine dark coloured beakers from Trier and dates
the Nijmegen example IVcd. Because of associa-
tion with other grave goods (a Symonds 61 and a
Gellep 274), the date must be earlier. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 254, 475) dates the grave with the
only Gellep example to ‘not before the third decade’ and to IVB because of a glazed piece of pottery. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 153-4351) dates
the beaker to IV.
Date: IVab.
188 Gellep 197 (= Isings 104b, Trier 101b): 2 examples
Globular glass botle without foot-ring, incised
horizontal lines and splayed neck.
Examples: B 818.2, OO stray 267.
Discussion: An example with a glass beaker upside
down on its mouth was found in Gellep according to Pirling (1966, 102-103), who suggests it is a
table carafe to be dated to IVab. She does so after Isings (1957, 124), where it appears that most
of these botles of Isings 104b, a type that started in III, are to be dated in those years. Pirling
(1975, 74) dates ive new examples with coins of
AD 313 and 341 to IVab up to IVB, and because of
association with a piece of glazed potery (see
however the discussion of the date of glazed
potery above). She remarks that these botles
occur almost always together with hemispherical glass beakers and so formed a table set; she
suggests wine as the content. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 241, 262) repeats this. See further at
Gellep 298, immediately below. Pirling (1979, 51)
conirms the combination with a glass beaker,
and dates the shape ‘at least’ to IVAB because of
association with a piece of glazed potery and
conical glass beakers from IVc (see however the
discussion of the date of glazed potery above).
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 261) dates two botles in
cremation graves to III, and the vast majority to
IVAB. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 163-179, 351)
dates the botle to IV.
Date: IVAB.
Gellep 197/298: 1 example
Example: OO stray 268.
Discussion: The loose splayed neck may have belonged to an example with or without foot-ring.
Date: IV.
318
—
189 Gellep 298 (= Isings 104a, Trier 101a): 2 examples
Globular glass botle with foot-ring, incised horizontal lines and splayed neck.
Examples: B 726.3, OO stray 269.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 123) sees this botle as a
possible imitation of the ine dark coloured bottles. As it has been argued above, under Künzl
14.1.1, that this shape is a water botle, I suggest
this function also for glass botles Gellep 197 and
Gellep 298. Pirling (1974, 74-75) dates this botle
with foot-ring to IVcd, so as a later variant of
Gellep 197. She does so because of association
with a coin of AD 346 and of parallels outside
Gellep. Pirling (1979, 51-52) dates a new example
again to IVcd because of association with a
Gellep 186 (a type not found in Nijmegen), although she is troubled by the presence of jug
Gellep 263, which belongs to IVab. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 262) calls the botle later than Gellep 297
and dates it to IVC. Goethert-Polaschek (1977,
156-163, 351) dates the botle to IV.
Date: IVC.
190 Gellep 198 (= Isings 101, Trier 79a): 19 examples
Glass botle with globular body, cylindrical neck
and round lip.
Examples: B 512.3, B 592.1, B 663.1, B 706.4, B
747.2, B 812.1, B stray 35-36, B stray 127, B stray
193, B stray 249, OO stray 270-277.
Discussion: This shape begins in III but is mainly a
fourth-century shape (Isings 1957, 119-20).
Pirling (1966, 103) dates an example to IIId, although it is associated with a Gellep 105. She
notes that early examples are blue and late ones
green; she dates one of these to IVcd because of
association with a Gellep 122 (see however the
discussion of Gellep 122, type ig. 151). Pirling
(1974, 75) has three examples with coin dates:
AD 323, 315 and 299; the later one is nevertheless dated IVB because of association with a
piece of glazed potery (see however the discussion of the date of glazed potery above). She
dates a fourth example to IVcd because of association with a conical glass beaker Gellep 292
and a gilt silver mounting. Throughout IV, she
concludes. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 264) dates the
botle to III-Va. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 125131, 351) dates it to IV. Harter (1999, 286-8, Form
G27a, 342) dates the botle to IIId-IVab. Follmann-Schulz (1988, 30-2, nos 51-61, 142-147,
Tafel 5) mentions some in Ivab and some in IV.
Date: III-Va.
191 Gellep 199: 4 or 5 examples
Glass botle with oval body, sometimes a ‘kick’,
cylindrical neck and a round lip.
Examples: B 218.9, OO 9.7?, OO 290.6, OO 473.2,
OO 473.3.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 103) would like to date
an example to IIId, but she had to change that to
IVa because of association with a Gellep 105.
Moreover, she thinks that the shape lasts on into
IVcd because of association with a Gellep 122
(see however the discussion of Gellep 122, type
ig. 151). Pirling (1974, 75-76) dates two examples
to IVab and one to IVcd without stating why.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 265) calls the kick an early
characteristic and dates the botle to IVa-d. Follmann-Schulz (1988, 28-29, nos 44-47, Tafel 4)
dates them to IIIa-IV. Kicks are sometimes explained as a means to trap deposit and preventing it from geting out when the wine is poured.
Botles with kicks are not mentioned in Isings
(1957); they do not igure in Trier (Goethert-Polaschek 1977) and Mainz (Harter 1999), but do
igure in Nijmegen, Gellep and Bonn: a regional
characteristic because of more deposit?
Date: IVa-d.
192 Nijmegen 192: 1 example
Botle with decoration of four pinches.
Example: B stray 210.
Discussion: This botle with four pinches like on
Gellep 189 and Gellep 238 can only be dated like
these to IIIC-IVab and IVcd-Vab, respectively. As
the glass thread is absent on Gellep 189 and on
Nijmegen 192, I suggest to date it like Gellep 189.
Date: IIIC-IVab.
193 Gellep 698: 1 example
Glass botle with oval body and a deep kick.
319
—
Example: B stray 252.
Discussion: Pirling (1997, type plate 15) depicts
Gellep 689 without discussing it. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 267) dates the botle to IIIB.
Date: IIIB.
because of association with IVab potery. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 270) repeats this. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 115-7, 350) has quite a diferent date
for this free-blown shape: Ic-IIb.
Date: IVab.
194 Gellep 203?: 3 examples
Small glass botle with bag-shaped body and
wide neck.
Examples: OO 170.5, OO stray 279-280.
Discussion: OO 170.5 cannot be said to be widenecked. Pirling (1966, 104) dates the only Gellep
example to IVB because of association with a
piece of glazed potery (see however the discussion of the date of glazed potery above). Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 268) dates the botle to III-IVB.
Date: III-IVB.
198 Isings 102a (= Trier 109a): 2 examples
Glass cylindrical botle with folded rim.
Example: B stray 251, OO stray 282.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 120-121) dates this shape
IId-IV. The fourth-century example from cemetery Nijmegen-East she mentions (180 OO) is
the same as OO stray 282. As the shoulder of this
botle is wider than its base, Goethert-Polaschek
(1977, 185-7, 351) rightly remarks that its lower
part was blown into an open mould; she dates it
to IVab.
Date: IId-IVab.
195 Gellep 523 (= Isings 83): 2 examples
Glass balsamarium, body hardly wider than
neck.
Examples: B 701.6, OO 252.6.
Discussion: Pirling (1989, type plate 16) illustrates
Gellep 523. It is Isings’ (1957, 99-100) form 83, a
second-century shape, which continues up to
the fourth century. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 267)
dates the botle to IVab.
Date: IVab.
196 Gellep 219 (= Isings 105): 1 example
Glass toilet botle.
Example: OO 9.4.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 109) has four Gellep examples, all to be dated IVab, one of which with a
coin of AD 313. She cites Isings (1957, 126), whose
form 105 it is (her irst fourth-century shape) and
who dates it IIId-IV. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 276)
dates the botle to IVab.
Date: IVab.
197 Gellep 202 (= Trier 71): 2 examples
Glass botle with lat base, hemispherical body
and cylindrical neck.
Examples: B stray 250, OO stray 278.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 104) has one example of
thick olive-green glass, which she dates to IVab
199 Isings 78a: 2 examples
Mould-blown colourless lask on foot and with
conical neck: double female human head with
curved and pointed noses, ring-locks, earrings
and one mouth slightly opened, the other closed.
Examples: OO stray 285, OO stray 322.
Discussion: It appears from the description in
Isings (1957, 93-94) that she classiies double human heads in her form 78a; the caption gives by
mistake 78b. She dates the shape Ic-IVd/Va.
There are two identical and exceptionally large
examples from Nijmegen-East: OO stray 285
lacks base and neck of the botle and still measures 15.6 cm in height. Several photographs of it
have been published: Mededelingenblad Allard Pierson Museum Amsterdam 80 (2001) 12, ig. 36: side
view, on which earring, not drawn here, visible;
calendar Archeologie in Nederland 2001, May: one
of the faces en trois quarts.). OO stray 322 is in
many fragments including the foot, some large
enough to see that they come from the same
mould as OO stray 285. Prof. C. Isings (pers.com.
17-10-2006) writes: ‘When I would make a new
typology now, I would no longer treat the early
and late examples of shape 78 together. They
are diferent and so far I know of no transitional
examples.’
320
—
There are two identical examples in the RömischGermanisches Museum in Cologne. One (no.
56,408) was found on the Waidmarkt in Cologne
(La Baume 1983, 225, ig. 206); the other (Glas
946) is of unknown provenance. A third complete example, h 24.8, d 7.6, is in Worms Museum. It is called a male beardless head in Geiberger (2005, 158, ig. 41), although the earring is
clearly visible.
Harter (1999, 299, ig. 1182ab) shows a fragmentary example in Mainz, possibly from the same
mould as the Nijmegen examples, but does not
pronounce on gender; the earring is visible.
Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 257-8, Taf. 80, nos.
1532-3) treats two similar botles from a diferent mould in Trier: no ears depicted; no statement on gender. Goethert (2007a, 390, ig. 6;
and in: Grüßinger et al. 2007, I.18.56) shows a
now completed example from Trier, the same as
her 1532 in 1977; the forehead and lower part of
the cylindrical neck, still missing in 1977, have
been integrated; the top of the neck with proiled rim and handle, already mentioned as lost
in 1977, have been restored in other material.
She mentions the Rhineland and northern
France as the distribution area and dates these
botles, made in bipartite hinged moulds, to
IVab. Nijmegen may now be added to the distribution area.
Date: IVab.
200 Gellep 302 (= Isings 50): 2 examples
Square glass botle.
Examples: B 704.5, B stray 45.
Discussion: The only example from excavation
has disintegrated. The sketch in the plan of the
grave does not indicate a lip; probably it is the
low variant Isings 50a. Isings (1957, 63-66) dates
the small square botle Ib-IV. B stray 45 is a high
square botle, Isings 50b, dated Ic-IIIcd (Isings
1957, 68-69). The corresponding Gellep types
are 302 (low) and 845 (high). Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 287) dates Gellep 302 to Ib-IV and the
one grave with a Gellep 845 to IIIcd-IV.
Date: Ib-IV (low variant); Ic-IIId (high variant).
201 ± Gellep 708: 1 example
Small glass conical jug.
Example: OO stray 286.
Discussion: Pirling (1997, type plate 16) depicts
Gellep 708 without discussing it. The shape does
not occur in Isings 1957. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
284) dates the botle to IIIab.
Date: IIIab.
202 Isings 121a (= Trier 123c): 1 example
Blue transparent glass jug with four dents in the
globular body, narrow neck, wide mouth; handle
and glass coil around neck opaque white.
Example: OO 252.7.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 152) dates three of these
small jugs to IV, IVB and ‘possibly III-IV’.
Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 209, 352) dates the
jug to IV.
Date: IV.
203 Isings 88c (= Trier 117b): 2 examples
Glass jug with handle at 90o to the spout and
with glass coils in two places.
Examples: B 701.8, B stray 164.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 106) dates this shape
IIcd-IV. Her fourth-century example is B 701.8.
Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 200, 352) dates the
jug to II-III.
Date: IIcd-IV.
204 Gellep 713 (= Isings 99, Trier 123b): 2 examples
Glass jug with base-ring; spout on maximum diameter and handle at 90o to it.
Examples: B 697.5, OO stray 287.
Discussion: Pirling (1997, type plate 16) depicts
Gellep 713 without discussing it. The shape corresponds to Isings 99, which Isings (1957, 118)
dates II-IVd/Va. She remarks that the shape is
usually called a feeding botle, but that it seems
uncomfortable and even dangerous for that use.
Van den Dries (2007, 79) remarks that the spout
of such glass feeding botles is too sharp to put
it into the mouth and suggests that they were
especially made for the grave. The only grave it
was found in is a child’s grave, as appeared from
the length of the coin, 120 cm. Pirling/Siepen
321
—
(2006, 282) dates the jug to II-IV. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 208-9, 352) dates the jug to IVab,
exactly the period in which grave B 697 is dated.
Date: II-Va.
205 Gellep 217 (= Isings 120b): 1 example
Glass jug with emphasized shoulder.
Example: B 697.4.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 108-109) has an example
that she dates to IVab because of association
with two jugs Gellep 84a, and remarks that examples elsewhere are to be dated to IVB and
IVab. The shape corresponds to Isings 120b,
which Isings (1957, 150-1) dates to III-Va. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 288) dates the jug to IV.
Date: III-Va.
206 Gellep 218: 1 example
Glass carafe with globular body.
Example: B 471.1.
Discussion: The Nijmegen example has a globular
body, the Gellep carafe an oval one. Pirling
(1966, 109) dates them to IVab. Pirling (1974, 78)
dates a new example to IVab or IVB. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 289) dates the jug to IIId-IVB.
Date: IIId-IVB.
207 Isings 122 (= Trier 128): 2 examples
Glass pear-shaped or conical jug with funnelshaped mouth.
Examples: B stray 126, B stray 165.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 153) dates one example
by a coin of Constantinus II (337-340), and two
others to IVcd-Va.
Date: IVb-Va.
208 Isings 124a (= Trier 117a): 1 example
Beaked glass jug with spout opposite handle.
Example: B 728.4.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 154) refers to a single example from the Porte Blanche cemetery at Strasbourg, of IIId-IV date. Goethert-Polaschek (1977,
199-200, 352) dates this jug to I-III. Isings’ date
its grave B 728, with its three coarse dishes,
much beter.
Date: IIId-IV.
209 Gellep 301 (= Isings 51a): 1 example
Low wide cylindrical glass botle with bandshaped handle.
Example: B 176.7.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 67-68) refers to examples
dated Ib-IIcd, and one from a ind dated no
more precisely than AD 85-III. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 286) dates the only Gellep example by a
coin of AD 251 to IIIcd. However, our Isings 51a is
associated with IVab and IVAB potery in grave B
176; B 176 is earlier than graves B 25 and B 26,
both dated to IVAB, so it may safely be dated to
IVa.
Date: Ib-IVa.
210 Gellep 333 (=Isings 89, Trier 121): 7 examples
Glass one-handled barrel jug.
Examples: B 27.1, B stray 125, OO 250.6, OO 250.7,
OO 252.5, OO 290.7, OO stray 288.
Discussion: Pirling (1979, 52-53) has an example
dated to IVB by a crossbow ibula Keller 4A and
an amphora-shaped strap end. She cites Isings
(1957, 106-107), who shows that her form 89 was
produced Id-IVd/Va: an exceptionally long-lived
shape. Isings (1970), however, distinguishes the
earlier from the later examples, especially by the
shape of the mouth. She writes about an early
example from Nijmegen: ‘The neck is indented
at the underside and its rim has been folded just
a bit outwards, then obliquely up and inwards.
This type of rim occurs in other jugs (..) and especially in the second half of the irst century
and in the second’ (137-40; transl. D.St.). And
about the late examples, she writes: ‘The loruit
of the barrel jugs falls only in the third and
fourth centuries. In that period, they were made
in diferent sizes. Many of them carry a stamp of
the manufacturer of the glass (or possibly the
manufacturer of the contents). The name Frontinus is the most frequent. There are jugs with
one handle, but examples with two handles occur
in the fourth century. The jugs now have a wide
lat mouth, the rim folded inwards (..; 142, transl.
D.St.). Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 202-4, 352)
dates one example to IIab and seven others to IV.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 285) dates the jug to III-IV.
322
—
As for the contents, Isings (1970, 137) writes: ‘Although we (..) may surmise that part served for
wine, we cannot prove it, because the contents
survived nowhere’ (transl. D.St.). The hard black
deposit in OO 252.5 does suggest wine, but it
has not been analysed yet.
Date: IV.
211 Gellep 213 (= Isings 128, Trier 142): 3 examples
Glass double-handled barrel jug.
Examples: B 143.1, B 680.3, B 824.1.
Discussion: Example B 143.1 has the irm name
FRON(tinus) on the underside of the base; the
bases of the other two examples have not been
preserved. Pirling (1966, 107) dates an example
to IVB because of association with a coin of AD
337, and one to IVab. She cites Isings (1957, 158),
who dates her corresponding form 128 throughout IV. Pirling (1974, 78) says that Isings dates the
shape to IVB and IVcd, and dates two new examples to IVcd because of associated inds.
Pirling (1979, 53) dates two examples to IVB or
IVcd because of association with a pin and an
indented glass bowl. See also discussion of
Isings 89, above. Goethert-Polaschek (1977,
234-5, 352) dates the jug to IVcd. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 292) dates it to IVBC.
Date: IVBC.
212 Isings 61: 2 examples
Glass aryballos with four compartments.
Examples: B 172.2, OO stray 289.
Discussion: Isings (1957, 78-81) dates these aryballoi, which were carried by a small chain to the
bathhouse, to Ib-IVab, the latest example being
B 172.2. The aryballos OO stray 289, which has
dolphin handles, is discussed by Isings/Van Lith
(1992, 21, ig. 23, let):
“The large aryballos comes from the Late Roman cemetery near Museum Kam (near the Barbarossastraat). It is a peculiar example, not only
because it is all but colourless, but also because
it consists of four separately blown parts, which
were then put together. The parts were probably
meant to hold diferent perfumed oils. The four
openings may have been closed with four small
bronze stoppers. The botle has a foot, a trait
mainly found with Late Roman examples.
Aryballoi with two or more compartments,
made of decoloured glass, were also found in
Late Roman cemeteries of Cologne and they
were possibly made there (Fremersdorf/PolonyiFremersdorf 1984, 107-8, nos. 238-240). Their
date is probably third and maybe the beginning
of the fourth century.” (Transl. D.St.)
Date: Ib-IVab.
213 Gellep 212 (= Isings 129, Trier 144): 3 examples
Glass botle with globular body, cylindrical neck,
collar, and three or four handles.
Examples: B 59.7, B 674.6, OO 58.2.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 107) dates two examples: one to IVab because of association with a
coin of AD 313, the other to IVB because of association with a fragment of terra sigillata with a
complicated roulete patern. She cites Isings
(1957, 159), who writes of her form 129 that it is
commonly called [by archaeologists] diota (Greek
for double-handled or rather double-eared; the
word, however, occurs only once in Latin literature, in Horace Carmen I,9,8, where it doubtlessly
refers to a large amphora from the cellar) and
dates it both to IVab and to IVcd. Pirling (1974,
77-78) has an example dated IVab or IVB because of association with a twisted bracelet, and
a third one IVcd because of association with a
conical glass beaker of type Gellep 185 = Isings
106b1-c2. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 236, 352)
dates the jug to IV. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 291)
dates it IVa-d.
Date: IVa-d.
214 Gellep 538 (= Isings 42b): 1 example
Small glass bowl with rim hanging over.
Example: B stray 192.
Discussion: Pirling (1989, type plate 18) depicts
Gellep 538 without discussing it. The shape corresponds to Isings 42b, which Isings (1957, 58)
dates to IId/IIIa-IVd. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 291)
dates the jug to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.

215 Nijmegen 215: 1 example
Splaying glass beaker or bowl on hollow foot.
Example: B stray 231.
Discussion: No parallels are known to me.
Date: ?
corresponds to Isings 116a, which Isings (1957,
143-144) dates to IVcd-Va, and to Isings 116b
(decorated), dated IIId-IVd. Pirling/Siepen (2006,
295) dates the bowl to IVB.
Date: IVB.
216 Gellep 221 (= Isings 117, Trier 28): 2 examples
Glass bowl with nine dents.
Examples: B 14.2, OO stray 290.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 110) mentions two such
bowls, both to be dated to Va because of association with a buckle with animals’ heads, a rosete-shaped belt pendant and a Gellep 192 in
one grave; a francisca, a terra nigra footed bowl
and a barbaric silver coin in the other. She refers
to similarly shaped but colourless bowls from
Cologne, where they are dated IVab. Pirling
(1979, 53) has two new examples of thick, olivegreen glass, both dated to Va because of associations and of parallels with a grave containing
a coin of AD 411. The shape corresponds to Isings
117, which Isings (1957, 147-8) dates to IV, some
of them IVd, and one from a cemetery of IVd-Va
date. Goethert-Polaschek (1977, 39, 349) dates
this bowl to IVcd. Siegmund (1998 ig. 81) puts it
into phase Niederrhein 1, AD 400-440. Pirling/
Siepen (2006, 298) dates the bowl to IVd-Vab.
However, the association in grave B 14 with two
buckles of type Sommer 1Cb1, dated to AD 310360, shows that the bowl already occurred in IVc.
Date: IVc-440.
218 Gellep 541 (= Isings 97): 1 example
Small glass plate with foot-ring and lip folded
downward and inward.
Example: B 150.6.
Discussion: The Nijmegen example has been completely preserved but has been squashed into a
lat disk; it was irst interpreted as a silver mirror
by the excavator, and as a bronze mirror by the
inventory book. Pirling (1989, type plate 18) depicts Gellep 540 and Gellep 541 without discussing them. The shape corresponds to Isings 97,
which Isings (1957, 116-117) dates to IId/IIIa-IVb.
Pirling/Siepen (2006, 301) dates a grave in which
such a plate was found by a coin of AD 341 and
mentions a grave in Brunssum of IIIcd date that
contained similar small plates.
Date: IIIcd-IVb.
217 Gellep 222 (= Isings 116a/b): 3 examples
Almost hemispherical glass bowl.
Examples: B 701.5, B 704.8, OO stray 14.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 110-111) discusses a bowl
with depiction of Bacchus, engraved on the outside and to be viewed from above, i.e. through
the glass, and cites Harden (1960, 45f), who
ascribes all bowls of this shape with engravings
to a Cologne workshop active AD 320-330 [with
a margin of 30-40 years, Pirling/Siepen (2006,
296) adds]. Pirling dates a second example also
to IVab. Pirling (1979, 54) dates a new example
to IVb because of association with IVab potery
and a crossbow ibula. The shape (undecorated)
219 Gellep 224 (= Isings 113): 1 example
Glass drinking-horn with knob-like thickened
end.
Example: OO stray 314
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 112) assigns one Gellep
example to Evison’s group II (Evison 1955, 1975),
a Belgian product dated IV-Va. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 303) repeats this. Although decoration
with glass coil and incised arcs lasts up to Frankish glass of VI, the technique of cracking-of
visible on it must be dated to IV. The shape corresponds to Isings 113, about the date of which
Isings (1957, 141-2) is uncertain.
Date: IV-Va.
Glass, no data: 37 examples
Examples: B 58.2, B 94.3 (beaker), B 216.7 (botle),
B 221.2, B 244.1 (botle), B 345.2 (botle), B

Discussion: In all these cases, tiny crumbs of glass
is all that remains. Techniques to save the shape
in situ did not exist yet at the time of the excavations. Sometimes the shape could be seen in situ
and was noted down.
FRANKISH POTTERY
The presence of Frankish potery in the Grutberg
area is tantalizing. Though B stray 146-154 are
almost complete pieces that most probably
come from graves, not a single grave containing
such a jar was found during the careful excavations in area G that did produce B stray 307-315.
Alternatively, they may come from one or more
votive deposits.
Comparing the Nijmegen Frankish potery with
Pirling (1966, 128-47, type plates 11-3) has
proved diicult. Although some carinated jars
look like Gellep 139 and Gellep 140, they can better be described according to Siegmund’s work
on Merovingian culture.
Siegmund (1998) distinguishes eleven phases of
the Merovingian period on the lower Rhine and
shows the characteristic types (1998, 204-5, ig.
81). Carinated jars, indicated there with KWT (for
Knickwandtöpfe) occur from his phase 3, AD 485530, to his phase 9, AD 640-670. Below, the stray
inds from the inner city of Nijmegen, environs
of the Gru(i)tberg and Broerstraat, are given according to Siegmund’s periods and types.
The shapes not treated in Siegmund 1998 cannot be dated: they are all stray inds. They will be
treated ater Siegmund’s types under the heading Uncertain potery.
Phase 3, AD 485-530
220 Siegmund KWT 1.11: 1 example
Carinated jar with sharp carination and low
shoulder.
Example: B stray 311
Discussion: The earliest carinated jar with decoration in Siegmund (1998, 204-5, ig. 81, KWT 1.11),
is paralleled in our B stray 311 for the low shoulder and the low zone of grooves above the sharp
carination; the decoration below the carination,
however (ingernail impressions and groups of
vertical grooves), is unparalleled in Siegmund.
Date: AD 485-530
Phase 4, AD 530-555
221 Siegmund KWT 1.22: 1 example
Carinated jar with sot carination and high
shoulder.
Example: B stray 312
Discussion: Siegmund’s small carinated jar KWT
1.22 has a high slightly everted rim with horizontal grooves as on the Nijmegen sherd B stray 312.
Date: AD 530-555
222 Siegmund KWT 2.21: 1 example
Carinated jar with oval stamp impressions on
the shoulder.
Example: B stray 314
Discussion: A carinated jar with oval stamp impressions containing dots, KWT 2.21, also from
Siegmund phase 4, is comparable to the Nijmegen sherd B stray 314.
Date: AD 530-555
223 Nijmegen 223: 1 example
Small double-handled footed bowl.
Example: OO stray 291
Discussion: Similar oval stamps containing dots
are also reminiscent of the small footed bowl
with two vertical handles OO stray 291.
Date: AD 530-555
Phase 5, AD 555-570

—
224 Siegmund KWT 2.31: 2 examples
Carinated jar with incised horizontal lines on the
shoulder.
Examples: B stray 153, B stray 155
Discussion: Our carinated jars B stray 153, with
four horizontal grooves on the shoulder, and B
stray 155 with three, ind their best parallel in
Siegmund’s KWT 2.31.
Date: AD 555-570
228 Siegmund KWT 3.21: 1 example
Sharply carinated jar with rouleted decoration
on the shoulder.
Example: B stray 150
Discussion: The sharply carinated B stray 150
with six horizontal rouleted rows of small impressed squares on the shoulder its best with
KWT 3.21.
Date: AD 610-640
Phase 6, AD 570-585
229 Siegmund KWT 4.11: 1 example
Sotly carinated jar with horizontal grooves on
the shoulder.
Example: B stray 147
Discussion: The sotly carinated B stray 147 with
three horizontal grooves on the shoulder its
best with KWT 4.11.
Date: AD 610-640
225 Siegmund KWT 3.11-12: 3 examples
Carinated jar with rouleted decoration on the
shoulder and collar between shoulder and lip.
Examples: B stray 146, B stray 154, B stray 309
Discussion: Siegmund’s KWT 3.11 and 3.12 with
horizontal rouleting above the carination are
parallels for the Nijmegen sherd of B stray 309.
Also our B stray 146 and 154, with their collars on
the transition to the lip, under which four zones
of rouleting, are paralleled in Siegmund’s KWT
3.11-12.
Date: AD 570-585
Phase 8, AD 610-640
226 Siegmund KWT 2.22: 1 example
Carinated jar with rouleted decoration under a
horizontal line on the shoulder.
Example: B stray 307
Discussion: Although there is no direct parallel for
our B stray 307 on Siegmund’s ig. 81, with its
two horizontal grooves under which four zones
of rouleting, it its best with Siegmund’s KWT
2.22.
Date: AD 610-640
227 Siegmund KWT 2.43: 1 example
Carinated jar with high undecorated shoulder.
Example: B stray 148
Discussion: The undecorated B stray 148 with its
relatively high shoulder is paralleled by KWT
2.43 from the same phase.
Date: AD 610-640
230 Siegmund WWT 2.1: 1 example
Sagged globular jar with everted lip.
Example: B stray 151
Discussion: WWT stands for Wölbwandtopf, globular jar. B stray 151 has the sagged shape and the
everted lip of Siegmund’s WWT 2.1.
Date: AD 610-640
Phase 9, AD 640-670
231 Siegmund KWT 4.3: 1 example
Carinated jar with two cordons and rouleting on
the shoulder.
Example: B stray 315
Discussion: Sherd B stray 315 with its two cordons
and rouleting exactly its Siegmund’s latest carinated jar KWT 4.3.
Date: AD 640-670
UNCERTAIN POTTERY
Three potery shapes and two shapes of the
same ware, all stray inds, are without parallel
whatsoever.

—
232 Nijmegen 232: 1 example
Small globular pot with ridge between shoulder
and everted lip.
Example: B stray 152
Discussion: No parallel for this small globular pot
with ridge between shoulder and everted lip is
known to me.
Date: ?
233 Nijmegen 233: 1 example
Globular pot with groove between shoulder and
everted rim.
Example: B stray 149
Discussion: No parallel for this globular pot with
groove between shoulder and neck and everted
rim is known to me.
Date: ?
234 Nijmegen 234: 2 examples
Coarse botle with high cylindrical neck.
Examples: OO stray 230-231.
Discussion: No parallel is known to me for these
stray inds. In the ind catalogue of Chapter 4,
they are listed with Roman coarse potery because of a slight resemblance to the ‘Roman’
handmade botle Gellep 317, dated Va (Pirling/
Siepen 2006, 174), but their status really is unclear. In the museum card catalogue, they are
called Frankish.
Date: ?
235- ‘Ubbergen potery’: 2 examples
236 Pink coarse ware.
Examples: B stray 157, B stray 256.
Discussion: B stray 157 is a coarse beaker with careless rouleting; B stray 256 is a coarse botle with
tulip-shaped mouth, rouleting and horizontal
grooves. No (good) parallels are known to me.
This potery ware is shown and discussed in Van
Enckevort et al. (2000a, 108-109) and Van Enckevort et al. (2000b, 25). They compare these two
pieces plus a third one (a spouted jar with handle
of Frankish type Gellep 144) with the waste of an
unpublished kiln at Ubbergen (some 1.5 km east
of the cemetery of the inner city), which they date
c.AD 700. They note that these pieces also come
from graves in the environs of the Gru(i)tberg, just
like the carinated and globular jars discussed
above.
This provenance is correct: B stray 256 comes
from Korte Nieuwstraat/Grutberg, whereas B
stray 157 was found on the Houtmarkt, in the
sandstone sarcophagus B stray 156.
There is indeed a striking likeness in colour and
texture of these three diferent shapes, but
whether the quoted suggestion is correct can only
be shown by publication of the Ubbergen kiln,
including clay analysis of rejects from the kiln and
of these three pieces.
So far, everything else points to a IVd date in the
case of the beaker, and there is a third-century
Roman parallel for the botle.
B stray 157 was found in the sandstone sarcophagus B stray 156 with high lid (destroyed during the sewerage works that led to its discovery)
on the Houtmarkt in 1866. Next to the sarcophagus coins of Valentinian I (364-375), Valens (364378) and Theodosius (385-395) were found (B
stray 158-60; Daniëls 1955, 247). The careless rouleting on the beaker is comparable to that on a
cooking-pot Gellep 110 from grave OO 463, datable around AD 350, as appears from the presence
of OO 463.2, identiied above as the latest example of Künzl 1.4.1.
The lost high lid of the sarcophagus of the Houtmarkt, which Daniëls (1955, 247) and Holwerda,
quoted there, took for Frankish, is paralleled by
the preserved high lid of the Roman sarcophagus
of the Grutberg in grave B 620, dated AD 318.
The botle B stray 256 with its tulip-shaped
mouth is paralleled by a third-century provincial
Roman botle from Monte Negro: Germanović et
al. (1965, 467-478), inhumation grave 89 at Duklje
(Doclea). Frankish parallels (no foot, biconical
body): Gellep 285 (Pirling 1974, type plate 7); (no
foot, globular body) Siegmund Fla 1.2 in Siegmund’s phase 10, AD 670-705.
Date: c.AD 700, or IVd for the beaker, III for the
botle.
12 Typology of dress accessories
and small objects
Atributes and origin
Some grave forms and small, mostly metal, objects are not generally Roman, but have a distinct origin within the empire. Tufa sarcofagi and
niches in the inhumation graves, as well as
bronze miniatures in combination with North
Sea shells, interpreted here as Sabazios attributes, point to contact with or even provenance from Cologne: see the present chapter,
section Unique pieces from female burials and Chapter 13. Some ibulae even have an ethnic origin:
there are so few East Germanic-Sarmatic ibulae
in Nijmegen, that they must have shown that the
owners were, in Carol van Driel-Murray’s (2003)
words, ethnic soldiers. Fith-century long bronze
hairpins are of Germanic origin.
Such a role, as indicators of Frankish ethnicity,
has erroneously been assigned recently to the
Roman crossbow ibulae. See Chapter 14, Excursus 1: cemetery OO Frankish?!
Gender atributes
Most human skeletal material has either completely dissolved (without even leaving outlines)
in the acid Nijmegen sandy soil or deteriorated
into a state that did not allow of identiication of
gender and age. So we have to go by common
opinion among archaeologists on male and female atributes. This common opinion will be
found per kind of atribute in the discussions of
the types. The general division, in the order given below, is as follows. For men: crossbow ibulae, bow knob ibulae, tweezers, axes and a
bucket. For women: pins, earrings, necklaces,
pendants, beads, all other ibulae, bracelets,
most inger-rings, one make-up box, combs,
mirrors, cosmetic paletes, wooden chests,
shears and sewing-needles; although mirrors
and shears are not always female atributes, in
Late Roman Nijmegen they are. For both genders: belts, buckles, belt stifeners, knives, shoes
and decorative nails.
MALE ATTRIBUTES
For male belt sets, see the section Atributes for
both genders.
Hinge ibula with long hinge arms: 1 example
Example: B 140.5.
Discussion: Van Buchem (1966, 59-63) considers
this ibula the earliest crossbow ibula. Sommer
(1984, 75) sees it as a forerunner of the crossbow
ibulae and dates it IIIab. Haalebos (1986, 58)
does not consider it a crossbow ibula and supposes it was worn by soldiers IId-III.
Date: IId-III.
Crossbow ibulae: 15 examples in several varieties
General discussion. Name: Crossbow ibulae, which
are hinge ibulae (as opposed to spring ibulae),
are known in German as Zwiebelk(n)opibeln; in
Dutch irst as kruisboogibulae, but nowadays as
drieknoppenibulae; Swit (2000) calls them crossbow brooches; I prefer ibulae instead of brooches,
as brooches may be used just for decoration,
whereas ibulae are always used to hold two
ends of the same piece of cloth together.
Use: Van Buchem (1966, 53-55) shows that men
(high-ranking soldiers and oicials) used the
crossbow ibula in order to fasten the large mantle, known as chlamys, on the right shoulder, in
order to leave the right arm free. Of the 158
crossbow ibulae with exact ind circumstances
known in the database of Swit, 48% were found
on the right shoulder, 10% on the let shoulder
and 5% on the breast; 37% were not worn at
burial; ‘it is possible that the brooches found on
the let shoulder are those of let-handed persons’ (Swit 2000, 4). The foot of the ibula
pointed upwards and projected above the shoulder. Positions in the Nijmegen graves: three
times (20%) on the right shoulder, two times
(13%) on the let shoulder, three times on the
coin, three times on the botom of the coin,
two times in the middle of the grave, two times
unknown.
Typology: Crossbow ibulae developed almost organically from AD 290 to AD 500. Typology al-
327
—
328
—
ways divides such slow developments into distinct types, meant to be clear-cut but never
being so (cf Swit 2000, 13). As a result, competing typologies of the crossbow ibulae have been
set up by Van Buchem (1966 and 1973) and by
Keller (1971). Neither of these typologies appeared to be satisfactory for identifying the
present Nijmegen crossbow ibulae in practice,
or for any other crossbow ibulae not taken into
account in existing typologies: the same problem was encountered by authors publishing the
Lauriacum, Gellep and Lankhills ibulae or cemeteries (Jobst 1975, 92-3; Pirling 1979, 58; Clarke
1979, 257, cited by Swit 2000, 3). In the German
literature, Keller is followed. However, Haalebos
(1986), the most recent Dutch monograph on
ibulae, follows Van Buchem. The unsatisfactory
state of afairs is shown by the existence of at
least three later typologies: Sommer (1984, 75,
based on Van Buchem, Keller, Noll 1974, and
Pirling 1979, 56-60) and Prötel 1988, who combined Keller’s types 3 and 4. For the time being,
Swit (2000, 13-88) rounds of the typological
discussion by partly revising Prötel’s typology
(22, Table B), which she concisely compares with
that of Keller’s (14, Table A). She takes regional
variations into account.
The unfortunate result in this study is a mixed
typology, using two subtypes of Swit’s (2ii and
2iii) and four subtypes of Prötel’s (3/4A, B, C, D);
meanwhile, considerations from other typologies are used below.
Bow and foot decoration: Patek (1942) gives two
plates of drawings of bow and foot decorations
of crossbow ibulae from Pannonia (Pl. XXIX and
XXX). Swit (2000, 38-55) enumerates decorations by leters and numbers, but never totally
reveals the system behind her numbers; only circle and dot foot decorations are shown systematically on p. 50, ig. 48. Where possible, Swit’s
decoration numbers have been given in the ind
catalogue.
Ethnicity: Since 2005, several Nijmegen archaeologists proclaim the idea that crossbow ibulae
are typical of Frankish soldiers and so use them
as proof of Frankish presence (Willems et al.
2005, 184, 219; Willems/van Enckevort 2009, 126,
79, 99). Two facts, however, show them to be
Roman not Frankish: Swit’s distribution map
(2000) shows them along the south side of the
entire northern border of the Roman Empire;
consular diptychs show them to be proudly worn
by the highest oicials in Rome (Buchem 1966).
Chronology: The presence in Nijmegen of types
Swit/Prötel 2 and 3/4 and the absence of types
1, 5 and 6 makes it clear that the Nijmegen crossbow ibulae play a role only during the fourth
century and possibly also in the irst decade of
the ith. Beginning and end of their development are absent.
Crossbow ibula Swit 2ii (Van Buchem IIIB; Keller 2A;
Sommer IIb; Prötel 2): 4 examples
Crossbow ibula with hexagonal crossarm on
which a decoration piece with undulating upper
side, with hexagonal faceted knobs, and a foot
in which decoration paterns have been made
with a ile (decoration Swit a10).
Examples: B 345.3, OO 415.1, OO 461.3 (Keller 2A3A), OO 467.4.
Discussion: Sommer dates his IIb to AD 290-363.
Van Buchem (1966, 72) dates his types IIIA (with
a small undecorated support piece on the crossarm) and IIIB (type Deurne) to AD 280-320, but
expects a wider period (AD 250-340). Keller
(1971) dates the mass of his type 2A to AD 310350 on the basis of coin inds. Haalebos (1986,
69) writes that type [van Buchem] IIIB seems to
originate somewhat later than IIIA and to have
been used up the decennium 330-340. I subscribe to Keller’s Bavarian coin dating, AD 310350, however far away Bavaria may seem to be:
we are discussing a generally Roman development.
Date: AD 310-350.
Crossbow ibula Swit 2iii (Van Buchem II or IIIB; Keller
1A or 2A; Sommer IIa; Prötel 2D): 1 example
Crossbow ibula with hexagonal crossarm without a decoration piece and with hexagonal
faceted knobs, pronounced cuf at base of bow,
foot shorter than bow.
329
—
Example: OO 161.6
Discussion: The absence of a decoration piece on
the crossarm is characteristic of Sommer IIa
(corresponding to Van Buchem II and Keller 1A).
Keller calls hexagonal faceting rare in his type
1A, and a ixed characteristic of his group 2; Van
Buchem does not mention it as a characteristic,
but does show it in his group IIIB. So our ibula is
a transitory example, and this feature helps to
date it. Sommer’s IIa is dated 250-320; Van
Buchem dates his group II to AD 240-320, and
his IIIB to AD 280-320. Keller dates his 1A to AD
290-320, and his 2A to AD 310-350. The transitory character of our ibula narrows all these
possibilities down to AD 310-320.
Date: AD 310-320 according to the above considerations; but AD 335-365 according to Prötel.
The context of the only example in Nijmegen,
with ive pieces of potery, shows a date before
the destruction of the potery centres Cologne
and Trier (AD 353-355, see Chapter 14, section
Two potery periods) to be the right date, and so I
adhere to AD 310-320.
Crossbow ibulae Prötel 3/4A, B, C, D (Van Buchem V,
Keller 3A-3B; 4ABC): 10 examples
Knobs are onion-shaped, broader than long.
Crossarm has long rectangular or trapezoid
cross-section, hexagonal in subtypes 3/4C and D.
The bow is shorter than the foot and frequently
narrower than it. The foot is longer than the
bow, with geometric (3/4A), dot and circle (3/4B),
involuted (3/4C) or trapeze decoration (3/4D).
Crossbow ibula Van Buchem V (type Vösendorf)
has as its main characteristic a crossarm more or
less rectangular in section that forms a whole
with the decoration; the decoration on them is
not an apart piece, but has been made in their
tops with a ile. The foot is long and richly decorated, mostly with dot-and-circles and notches.
The knobs are onion-shaped.
Examples:
Prötel 3/4A: B 167.2, B 409.1, OO 248.1, OO 271.4.
Prötel 3/4B: OO 283.2 (Keller 3B, entire foot covered with decoration).
Prötel 3/4C: OO 426.3 (Keller 4B), OO 437.1
(Keller 4).
Prötel 3/4D: B 782.1 (Keller 4C), B stray 181 (Keller
4C).
Subtype unknown: B stray 27 (not drawn).
Discussion: Van Buchem (1966, 85) calls this his
type V and gives AD 340 as a terminus post
quem for onion-shaped knobs, and gives coin
dates between AD 337 and 380. Keller (1971, 3738) dates the majority of his type 3 to the reign
of Constantius II (AD 337-361). Keller (1971, 3841) dates his type 4, with variants depending on
the decoration of the foot, to AD 350-380.
Haalebos (1986, 69) gives no date for Van
Buchem V. Keller ignores his own latest coin date
for his type 3 (Valens, AD 364-378).
Dates:
Prötel 3/4A: AD 325-355
Prötel 3/4B: AD 350-410, but the only example is
dated 337-348.
Prötel 3/4C: AD 330-410
Prötel 3/4D: AD 330-410
Bow knob ibulae: 2 examples
Example: B stray 3a, OO stray 298.
Discussion: Van Buchem (1975, 254-255, 262 ig.
15) writes that the bow knob ibula (a spring ibula) owes the shape of its bow and foot to that
of the crossbow ibulae (which are hinge ibulae). Böhme (1974, 51-52) remarks the same on
support-arm ibulae (German: Stützarmibeln;
Dutch: steunarmibulae). The only Nijmegen example of such a support-arm ibula, OO 362.4,
comes from a female burial and is treated below
under the ibulae for women. The similarity of
the Nijmegen bow knob ibula B stray 3a and
support-arm ibula OO 362.4, with dot-and-circles on the sides of the bow and faceted foot, is
striking. Van Buchem dates our bow knob ibula
to IV.
Date: IV.
Tweezers: 3 or 4 examples
Examples: B 59.intr (iron, deviating model), B 61.3
(from one piece of bronze), B 62.1 (idem), OO
144.13 (bronze, no further information: not
found in depot).
330
—
Discussion: The two preserved bronze tweezers
belong to Pirling’s (1966, 210) form A, undecorated tweezers with tapering arms, which she
cannot date. Tweezers in Late Roman graves are
usually considered male atributes. Pirling does
not say so, but the other inds in several Gellep
graves with tweezers speak for male burials: a
francisca, a long sax, and a spatha found with a
belt set. Böhme (1974, 127) remarks that they occur in northwest German cemeteries in male
burials, but sometimes also in female ones. Our
example B 61.3 comes from a male burial and
was hung from a belt with metal belt set, as was
the axe found with it. Examples B 62.1 and OO
144.13 come from IVab graves that were not otherwise marked by male or female atributes. The
iron tweezers B 59.intr are kept with inds from a
IVab female burial (mirror, cosmetic palete,
pins) but is of a diferent model for which parallels are known to me only from our own times:
the two blades end in a lancet shape and are
welded together there. These tweezers possibly
are an intrusion from a much later context.
Date: IVab.
Iron axes: 3 examples
Examples: B 61.2, B 143.8, B 353.1 (no data).
Discussion: The small curved iron axe B 143.8 with
protruding reinforcements around the hole,
which give it in side view a semicircular notch at
the underside, belongs to the earliest type, put
by Siegmund (1998, 204, ig. 81, FBA 2.3) in his
period 1, between AD 400 and 440. Böhme
(1974, 104-5) calls this axe with its lightly curved
top and strongly curved underside his type B,
which occurs from III to V, and gives parallels
from Belgium and northern France and in cemeteries on the right bank of the Rhine. The
curved axe B 61.2, carried above the let leg, with
its blade on the wide belt and the edge to the
outside, i.e. to the let, is put by Siegmund (1998,
204, ig. 81, FBA 1.1) in his period 2, between AD
440 and 485. Böhme (1974, 106) calls this his
shape C, which he does not date. Axe B 353.1 is in
the ind list, but could not be found in the depot
or the documentation.
Iron axes, occurring in Roman and Frankish context between AD 400 and 610 (Siegmund 1998,
204-205, ig. 81) are considered ighting axes,
meant to be thrown. They are associated with a
passage in Procopius’ Bella, writen between AD
540 and 555. This passage 6,25,3-4 treats the
manner of ighting of Frankish intruders under
Theudibert/Theodebert in northern Italy in AD
539 and goes:
“they had a small body of cavalry about their
leader, and these were the only ones armed with
spears, while all the rest were foot-soldiers having neither bows nor spears, but each man carried a sword and shield and one axe. Now the
iron head of this weapon was thick and exceedingly sharp on both sides, while the wooden
handle was very short. And they are accustomed
to throw these axes at one signal in the irst
charge and thus to shater the shields of the enemy and kill the men.”
Now double-edged axes are unknown from
Frankish archaeological context. E. Zöllner, cited
without source in Engemann/Rüger (1991, 184)
has suggested that their qualiication as doubleedged is an ancient topos, i.e. an idea recurring in
literature. Dahmlos (1977) treats the archaeological and literary sources for among others
these axes. Hübener (1980) treats the axe types
from the Merovingian period.
For a completely diferent interpretation of axes
in Late Roman graves, as symbol of the reclaiming of land by new groups of land owners independent of the patron-client relations connected
with the villa system, see Theuws/Alkemade
2000.
A third interpretation is given by Brulet (1995,
102-3): for no stated reason, he uses on his map
of northern Gaul an icon of an axe like B 143.8 as
the indication of a praefectus Laetorum et Sarmatorum, mentioned in the Notitia Dignitatum XLII.
The axes of the Nijmegen graves are too few for
a choice between these interpretations.
Date: B 143.8: AD 400-440; B 61.2: AD 440-485.

Unique pieces from male burials
Wooden barrel-shaped bucket: 1 example
Example: B 704.9.
Discussion: The shape of this small barrel deviates
from those of the conical and cylindrical wooden
buckets and containers that Böhme discusses
(1974, 132-133). He supposes, on the ground of
drinking glasses frequently found in them, that
they served to scoop beer from a large container
and to divide it over the drinking glasses. They
mostly occur in male burials, but sometimes also
in female ones. He interprets them as atributes
of the Germanic social top layer, on the ground
of their combination with prestigious table ware:
they irst occur in rich graves from Norway to
Slovakia, and spread into the area between Elbe
and Loire in the fourth century. Auleger (1997)
just says that wooden buckets belonged to both
genders of the elite in Frankish cemeteries. Neither author dates them. Our grave B 704 was a
rich burial, as appears from the plank-built
chamber and ive glass vessels found in it. Nothing in it, however, indicates a Germanic origin or
the gender of the deceased. The other inds in B
704 date the grave to AD 320-367.
Date: AD 320-367.
Iron hook: 1 example
Example: OO 467.5.
Discussion: No parallels are known to me for the
lat but thick iron hook from grave OO 467,
which the other inds show to be a male burial
from IVab. Its function also remains unclear.
Most probably it is an intrusion.
Date: IVab?
FEMALE ATTRIBUTES
Short bone pins: 14 examples in two graves
Examples: B 298.58-67 (ten examples, lying on
the vanished right arm); B 59.14 (four examples,
lying to the right of the upper legs; lost).
Discussion: Bone pins are not known from Gellep.
Neither are they known to Böhme (1974), who
discusses the Germanic burials between Elbe
and Loire. As the four pins from B 59 were not
found upon inspection in the museum depot,
only those from B 298 can be discussed here.
This grave, which also contained 55 coins,
among which nine from the years 313-317, is dated by its latest coin (317-320) to 318. Four pins
lack their heads; the lengths of those with head
varies between 7 and 9.5 cm. The shape of the
heads suggests they were made on a lathe: two
are conical, one is disk-shaped, one has a globe
on a cone, and two have ive indentations plus a
knob (the knob of one of these got partially lost
between the moments of inding and drawing).
The position, not on the head but on the right
half of the body, suggests they were kept in a little bag, possibly in the right hand. As appears
from the miniature pair of scales B 298.69, the
lady in this grave was a worshipper of Sabazios
and kept to the Cologne variant of his cult. There
is a striking similarity with the inds from the lady’s burial of Cologne-Lindenthal (Noelke 1984),
which contained, apart from many other grave
goods, four bone pins, a miniature pair of scales
and other Cologne Sabazios miniatures, and a
common whelk (Steures 2004ab). So it seems
probable that the bone pins too played a role in
the Cologne Sabazios cult. They may not be hairpins but so-called divining rods, as used in the
divination technique of sortilege, the casting of
lots; it that case, they do not ‘lack heads’ but are
batons meant like that.
The other inds in B 298 date the grave to AD
318; those in B 59, to IVab.
Date: IVab.
Bronze pins: 9 examples
Examples: B 592.3 (latish globular gilt head, in
child’s burial), B 663.3 (with polyhedral head), B
stray 196 (pin and small ring, no data), B stray
296 (bronze pin from a medieval or later grave),
OO 383.4 (fragment of shat), OO 466.1 (broken
but complete, l 16.7, with long proiled head),
OO stray 47a (l 13.6), OO stray 47b (with
pomegranate-shaped head, l 9.8).
Discussion: B 663.3 has a head with the polyhedral
332
—
model, frequent also in beads: a cube from
which the eight corners have been removed, so
that a body with fourteen plane faces emerges.
B 592.3 has the other frequent model: latishglobular. OO 466.1 and OO stray 47a have a
model of which no parallel is known to me: a
baluster crowned with a globe. In none of these
cases the position in relation to the body is
known. The artefact dates of the graves in which
they occur are AD 301-400, 341-350, and 301367, respectively. When these dates are compared with those of the silver pins discussed immediately below, their most probable date
seems to be IVBC.
Date: IVBC.
Silver pins: 10 examples
Examples: B 122.3 (with axe-shaped head, in a
child’s grave), B 293.6 (with polyhedral head, on
the right in a wooden chest), B 620.11 (latishglobular head), B 620.12 (with gilt pomegranateshaped head in which crossing curvy lines have
been cut), B 690.1, B 690.2 (both with polyhedral
head), B 701.10 latish-globular gilt head, found
below the skull, so worn on the back of the
head, probably to secure a head cloth), B 701.11
(polyhedral head, in wooden chest), B 743.3
(with polyhedral head), OO 252.9 (with polyhedral head).
Discussion: Two pairs of silver pins can be identiied: B 620.11 and 12, on top of the head; B 690.1
and 2 next to the right temple. Four instances
are known of single pins next to the head: B
122.3 (next to the let temple in a child’s grave), B
743.3, B 701.10 (under the head, i.e. on the back
of the head), OO 252.9 (on top of the head, with
remains of ?leather, possibly a cap kept in place
with the pin; cf. remark of Pirling 1974, 88). The
remaining two silver pins, B 293.6 and B 701.11,
were each lying in a wooden chest, which, it appears, also functioned as a jewelry box.
Pirling (1966, 120-1) dates a silver pin with globular head to IV. Pirling (1974, 88-89) dates pins
with polyhedral head IVB-V. Pirling/Siepen
(2006, 361) dates pins with polyhedral head
throughout IV. Pirling (1979, 64) dates a silver pin
with globular head to IVB-cd, one with a polyhedral head to the same period, and one with a
pomegranate-shaped head to IVB at the earliest.
The pin with axe-shaped head B 122.3 can be
dated to IVb, as appears from potery and a coin
of Constantinus I from 323-324 found with it; it
has parallels in Barrière-Flavy (1901 I, 102, Pl. LXIII, 2-5); Lindenschmit (1880-1889, 386); Pilloy
(1886-1912, I Pl. 16,35, II 348, Pl. 19,23). Though
the shape of this pin is reminiscent of the axe
type Siegmund FBA 4.1, dated 570-585 (Siegmund 1998, 204 ig. 81), it is clear from the pottery and the coin in the grave that the pin must
be dated to IVb, and that the head was not
meant to look like this axe: the axe type did not
exist yet.
Date: see discussion.
Long pins: 4 examples (in two pairs) of four diferent models
Examples: B 465.6 (type Wijster), B 465.7 (type
Vermand), B 798.3 (type Fécamp), B 798.4 (type
Tongeren).
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 182) dates a pin of type
Fécamp (see below) at the transition of her
phases I and II, in VB. Böhme (1974, 35-39) classes these pins under the name of Haarpfeile (‘hair
arrows’); four of his ive types each occur once in
Nijmegen, Inner City, in two pairs.
B 465.6, found above the skull, head of the pin
to the right: bronze pin type Wijster, l 25.5, with
mushroom-shaped head on which ive radial
grooves, top of shat ribbed, under which three
prisma zones. Böhme (1974, 35, Abb. 12) dates
type Wijster to Va or Vab on p. 39 and to his
phase II, AD 380-420 on p. 155.
B 465.7, found next to the right temple, head
pointing down: pin type Vermand, l 16.9. Connected to the head by means of two links is a
bronze sheet lunula, from which three rhomboid
sheet bronze jingles with punched rims are suspended. Böhme (1974, 36-37, 39) dates this type
Vermand from Valens (364-378) to Merovingian
times. For a possible meaning of this lunula, see
the section Pendants below.
B 798.3: top part of a bronze pin type Fécamp,
333
—
preserved l 5, d 0.9-0.4, entirely decorated with
ribs and three faceted zones. Böhme (1974, 35,
ig. 12; 38 155) dates type Fécamp to IVd and to
his phase II, AD 380-420.
B 798.4 Top part of an iron pin, preserved l 4, d
0.4-0.3, with fragment of a wooden head (now
mineralized), d 2.3, immediately under which a
biconical gilt bronze bead, d 1.5, with crosshatched zone, around the iron shat. Variant of
Böhme’s type Tongeren with multiple decorative
heads (1974, 36, 39, 155), dated by him to his
phase III, AD 400-450 until end of V. Böhme
(1974, 39) dates Rhenen grave 356 to VB; in it
was a pin of type Tongeren (Böhme 1974, Taf.
60,1).
Böhme (1974, 37) remarks that long pins were
always worn alone, as opposed to small pins.
This does not agree with the facts in both Nijmegen graves, which he does discuss (B 465 on
p. 285, Taf. 85 as Nymwegen-Nieuwstraat; B 798 on
p. 285, Taf. 86, as Nymwegen-Marienberg). The
position of the pins in B 465 is also incorrectly
given on his p. 160, ig. 53.
He remarks that they were mostly lying next to
the right temple of the deceased, and that they
were used in order to pin a hair net, coif or head
scarf. A large starched coif seems to me the most
probable possibility in the case of the spectacular pins in B 465. Below, it is argued that the lady
in B 465 was a priestess of a pole-shaped idol
shown on three bronze-sheet pendants in her
grave (see sections Pendants and Unique pieces
from female burials for her pendants and sceptre). I
suggest that she was buried in full pontiicals (cf.
Steures 2002b). One of these pontiicals might
be bent rod B 465.12+21, treated below in the
section Shapeless iron.
In the case of grave B 798, only the position of
the pin of type Fécamp is known: next to the let
shoulder, together with a tutulus ibula.
The distribution area of the long pins is shown
by Böhme (1974, 160 and map 9): Gaul, Belgica
and the Lower Rhine area, and on a smaller scale
east of the Rhine. He calls them a certain sign of
Germanic population (p. 165). He sees them as a
sign of long-term contact between the popula-
tion east of the Lower Rhine and the Germanic
inhabitants of northern Gaul (p. 188). In 1999, he
presented a new distribution map of the pins of
type Wijster (Böhme 1999, ig. 5).
Dates: type Fécamp IVd or AD 380-420; type
Tongeren AD 400-500; type Vermand from
Valens (364-378) to Merovingian times; type Wijster Va or Vab or AD 380-420.
Wire earrings: 3 pairs and single one of gold; two
single ones of bronze.
Examples: B 204.1 (pair twisted together near let
shoulder), B 620.13 (pair in the ears), B 680.5-6
(pair in the ears), OO 250.12 (one gold-wire earring in wooden chest), OO 413.6 (curved round
bronze wire).
Discussion: The simple gold-wire earrings either
have got a real eye by bending back the wire end
and soldering it (B 620.13, B 204.1), or have been
hooked one end in the other (B 680.5-6, OO
250.12). In all cases the wire end was led through
the eye and bent back: the earrings were meant
to be worn permanently. There are no real parallels in Gellep (Pirling 1979, 63). Böhme (1974, 3940) can mention only four graves between Elbe
and Loire with earrings, one of which is our sarcophagus of the Grutberg (B 620). Only Cortrat
grave 6 has comparable earrings and is dated
IVd-Va. The other inds in B 204 do not allow to
date the grave precisely; those in B 620, to AD
317-318; those in B 680, to IVa-d; those in OO
250, to AD 317-330; those in OO 413, to AD 334350.
Date: IVab.
Metal-wire necklaces: 5 examples
Examples: B 204.4 (necklace of S-shaped links of
bronze wire); OO 250.11 (necklace of gold wire
links with small precious stones); OO stray 294
(three necklaces of bronze wire links with glass
beads).
Discussion: No parallels for the metal-wire necklaces from Gaul or Germany are known to me.
The Nijmegen necklaces difer considerably one
from the other. Scant remains exist of B 204.4:
one complete s-shaped link of bronze wire, a
334
—
few fragments of other links and three glass
beads is all that remains.
The technique used for making the links of OO
250.11 had been used earlier for Roman jewelry:
the links of gold wire, all identical, l 0.9, were
bent into eyelets at both ends, ater which the
end was turned once around the wire under the
eye. Two parallels for OO 250.11, one with pearls,
the other with glass beads, were found in Banassa and are kept in the Archaeological Museum in Rabat, Morocco (Exhibition catalogue Morocco 2004, 201, nos 35 and 36, museum inv.nos
PI89.8.9.1 and 99.7.14.2412). Two further parallels for this technique are in the British Museum:
the second-century necklace BMCJ 2731 of unknown provenance exists of cut-out paterns
alternating with such links with an emerald each;
a necklace from Carthage of c.AD 400 completely
exists of such links, each link having a sapphire
en cabochon (polished without facets), a pearl or
an emerald alternately (Dalton 1901, no. 242;
colour photograph in Antike Welt 35 (2004) 74,
ig. 6a). So three out of four known parallels for
OO 250.11 come from Africa; possibly one, in
Aalen, from Germania Superior. The position of
the four emeralds on our necklace OO 250.11 is
conspicuous: all on the same side of the body as
the fastening hook, i.e. on the right if the lady
who wore it was right-handed. The other precious stones on it are four polyhedral garnets
and eight sapphires en cabochon. The unique and
conspicuous fastening of eye and hook is described in detail in the ind catalogue.
The other inds in B 204 do not allow the grave
to be dated precisely; those in OO 250, to AD
317-330.
Date: IVa-d.
Pendants: 4 examples with a total of 12 pendants
Examples: B 154.1 (bronze-wire ringlet from which
hangs a link with a bead), B 238.1 (bronze pendant on a rivet), B 465.9 (lunulate pendant and
six bronze wire pendants on a bead-and-ibulae
pectoral: see remark to B 465), B 465.25 (three
identical Preßblech pendants).
B 465.25
Discussion:
B 154.1, interpreted as an earring by the excavator, deviates from the gold-wire earrings described above, both in material (bronze-wire),
way of fastening (one end turned around the
other), and in the presence of a bronze-wire
pendant with a bead on it. More likely it is to be
interpreted as a pendant, probably on a thread
of now vanished organic material, put apart in
the corner of the coin; the more so, as it was
not lying next to the head. The link is made in
the same way as those of the gold-wire necklace
OO 250.11 and may therefore be dated in Roman
times, although the nearest parallels for this
pendant are to be dated in Böhner’s phase IV, i.e.
the seventh century (Böhner 1958, 116, H; cf. 114,
D1).
The presence of a rivet in the eye of pendant B
238.1 makes it improbable that it was part of a
necklace; it may have been riveted to something
made of leather. It was lying near the right
shoulder. I know of no parallels for this ind; neither can it be dated, as it was the only artefact.
The lunulate pendant on the pectoral from B 465
is the second one in this grave of a woman (l of
coin trace 1.70): the other one is on the long pin
B 465.7, type Vermand. Lunulae were worn by
women and children as amulets of fertility and
growth because of their association with waxing
moon and menstruation (Der kleine Pauly, s.v.
Luna 2; Klumbach 1939; Zadoks-Josephus Jita/
Witeveen 1977). A disadvantage of this
335

interpretation is, that such an amulet will be of
no use, once the person who wore it dies. A possible beter interpretation of the lunula can be
found in Schade (2003, 14-15, Pl. 1.6-7.10, Pl. 2.1):
some third-century empresses had themselves
portrayed on coins in a lunula. She interprets
this lunula as the iconographic parallel of the corona radiata of their husbands. The imperial couple thus became the bearers of the lux aeterna,
and as Sol and Luna they symbolized the aeternitas domus divinae (the eternity of the divine
house). So a lunula in a grave may mean: eternal
life ater death. Pirling (1974, 87-88) records
three lunulate pendants from Gellep, two of
which probably from child inhumations in women’s graves.
The three identical pressed bronze-sheet (Preßblech) pendants with horizontal tubular eye B
465.25 bring Nijmegen in contact with the history of the Empire and have for that reason been
treated before in Steures 2002b. They show two
antithetical male busts with heavy chins and
draped shoulders; between them a frontal poleshaped idol with raised arms shaped as leaved
branches; legend TV (behind the head on the
let), X (behind head on the right) and IIECF or
IIECE (below). There is nothing like these pendants in Merovingian Preßblech (Klein-Pfeufer
1993). The inspiration for these pendants comes
from a barbaric imitation of a Roman medallion,
the only one they really look like: a large gold
medallion, known in one example from Zagórzyn, woj. Kaliskie (or Wielkopolski) in Poland,
where it was found in 1927 as part of a treasure,
since then in the Münzkabinet in Berlin (Regling
1928; Dressel/Regling 1972, 400-402, Taf. XXIX,
265; Seipel 1999, 40 (distribution map), 43 ig. 6,
186-188, cat.no 15; Steures 2002b, 183 ig. 5). It
was found together with many fourth-century
solidi and many worn denarii of the irst and
second centuries AD (showing the same preference for old silver coins as does the denarius of
Marcus Aurelius/Faustina in the mouth of the
lady in grave B 465; Tacitus already noticed this
preference in Germania 5, published AD 98). The
medallion is in solid gold, has a diameter of 7,5
cm and weighs, together with a heavy tubular
eye soldered on secondarily, 242.49 grams. In
the original publication, it is supposed that the
medallion itself without the eye weighs 48 solidi
= 218.40 grams = two-thirds of a Roman pound.
The obverse shows, within a beaded rim, two
emperors’ heads opposite each other, with the
strange legend R/EZ/ISROMA/NO/R/VM, to be
interpreted as REGES ROMANORUM. This
strange legend, together with the clumsy style of
the obverse, speaks for a barbaric origin of the
medallion. The reverse is identical with the reverse of another large golden medallion, of
Valens, who was emperor in the east of the
otherwise undivided Empire 364-378 (Kubitschek 1909, 39 no. 355, Pl. 20; Seipel 1999, 40
(distribution map), 43 ig. 6, 186-188, cat.no 15;
Steures 2002b, 183 ig. 5; Bemman/Quast 2008,
161). One of the emperors on the Berlin medallion must therefore be Valens, the other his
brother Valentinian I, emperor in the west 364375. The medallion must date before 24 August
367, the day on which Valentinian’s young son
Gratian was given the title of Augustus in the
west: its date is narrowed down to the years
364-367.
This puts the Berlin medallion just before
Valentinian’s fortiication of the Rhine, from its
source in the territory of the Raetii up to the
‘Channel-Ocean’ (fretalem Oceanum), in the year
369, as mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus
28,2,1 and repeated 30,7,6. Byvanck, who irst
thought that the North Sea was meant by fretalem Oceanum (Byvanck 1931-1947, I 435), later
changed his mind and supposed it was the English Channel. Valentinian, he wrote, fortiied no
further down the Rhine than Cologne, and then
following the frontier of the territory under direct Roman control, i.e. the road Cologne - Gulik
- Heerlen - Maastricht - Tongeren - Bavay - ports
on the English Channel (Byvanck 1943, 668-9).
Nowadays, however, there is communis opinio
among Dutch archaeologists that Valentinian
visited Nijmegen on 20 September 368 - with a
route of the emperor in the neighbourhood of
336
—
Nijmegen and a daring emendation of novo mansione to noviomago in Cod.Theod. 1.6.6 of 20 September 368 as evidence (Seeck 1919, 234; Stolte
1966; De Boone 1954, 103; PRE s.v. Valentinian I,
second series 7, 2147; Van Es 1981, 52; Mioulet/
Barthen 1994, 47; in Holleman 1994, Valentinian
‘according to Ammianus Marcellinus’ is in these
regions, grumbling over the bad state of the defense works along the frontier). The possibility
of his presence is indeed supported by dendrochronologic evidence from the Late Roman
bridge on the river Maas between Cuijk and Middelaar, some 11 kilometers south of Nijmegen.
This shows a repair phase in winter 368 - spring
369 (Mioulet/Barthen 1994, 47): if Valentinian
himself was not in or near Nijmegen, his executives were.
This would have meant an opportunity for nearby Germanic leaders to receive the usual Late
Roman payment for their neutrality or active
support: Roman gold, especially heavy medallions (Bursche 1999). I suggest that another copy
of the Berlin medallion was actually handed to a
Germanic leader in or near Nijmegen on that
occasion. It was then kept in the family for some
generations, and led a descendant around AD
440 to have the Preßblech pendants made as a
means of tightening the bonds between himself
and his followers. It was not the only medallion
of Valens to ind barbaric imitation: the Vienna
medallion mentioned above was inspiration for
a gold pendant from Norway (cf. Kubitschek
1909, pl. 21, 355 with Salin 1935, 217, ig. 505).
Nor were the Nijmegen pendants the only Germanic ones inspired by the Berlin medallion.
Professor H.W. Böhme kindly drew my atention
to the only known Germanic parallel for our Nijmegen Preßblech pendants with antithetical
imperial busts. It is a large disk ibula from the
earliest inhumation of the small cemetery of
Beelen in Westfalen from the middle (Böhme,
pers. comm.) or second half of the ith century
(Grünewald 1995, 292 and ig. on 290). On the
disk ibula there is a gold Preßblech with two antithetical male busts. The hair descending to the
neck, indicated by hatching, is exactly like that
on the Nijmegen pendants, while the heavy
chins on the Beelen ibula must be derived from
the Berlin medallion. Grünewald thinks it is
something completely diferent: ‘Das Zierblech
ist mit einem komplizierten, mehrfach deutbaren Ornament in Preßtechnik versehen. Eine
Maskendarstellung wird ihrerseits aus zwei
stilisierten Darstellungen von Tiermenschen gebildet.’ This leads him to speculate on the Germanic animal style I.
The frontal idol shown on the Nijmegen pendants between the two heads reminds of polelike wooden idols from northwestern Europe in
the Iron Age and Roman times (Toorians 1995
has a parallel in Roman times in the Netherlands; further aield: Glob 1969, 182, igs. 74-75;
Megaw 1970, nos. 280-282). The maker of the
pendants seems to mean the bonding of a Germanic group around an idol. The gold medallion
that had served as inspiration showed a dynastic
link. The maker of the pendants thus interpreted
borrowed Roman iconography in his own Germanic way.
The legend on the pendants, TV X IIECF, escapes
interpretation for the time being. It is tempting,
though, to read awkward Latin into it: TVX HEC F
= dux haec fecit: the military leader made this. Unfortunately, only hec as an indeterminate form of
the pronoun hic inds a parallel (Schmitz 1991, 77:
hec tumulo fecit Hunudrec); TVX for dux and II for h
do not. All maters considered, it seems more
probable that the text is not awkward Latin but
a nonsense inscription of the kind that is frequently found on barbaric imitations of Roman
coins, especially on those of the ith and sixth
centuries AD (Werner 1935, 108, coins 4 and 7 (V
AD); 114-5, coins 46-58 (VI AD)).
Whether the family of the deceased woman
wrote clumsy Latin or not, it is clear that they
emphatically felt like old-fashioned Romans, witness the antique denarius, the interlaced Star of
David (see below, in the section Fibulae) borrowed from Roman table silverware, and the
Preßblech pendants with their Roman shape and
iconography. And it is clear that they were
emphatically Germanic, witness the long pins,

the composite dish ibula and the idol on the
pendants. The pendants, threefold for a reason
that escapes us, were lying on a place of honour:
on the axis of the coin, just below the feet of
the deceased.
A last question to be considered is: why put
these unique pendants from a men’s world into
the grave of a woman? The only reasonable answer seems to be that the deceased lady was intimately linked with that world in a personal
way, rather than merely being the wife or daughter of a Germanic leader. It will be argued below
that the lady in grave B 465 was a priestess of
the pole idol shown on the pendants: she had a
sceptre in or near her right hand: see section
Unique pieces from female burials: Priestess’ sceptre.

Discussion:
Gender. Beads are universally called women’s attributes. Melon beads, however, were also used as
soldiers’ amulets and as amulets on horses (Höpken 2003, 353-4).
Types. Table 12 gives the types, their incidences and
their frequencies. It should be noted that the
number ater the name of the most frequently
quoted author, Riha, are not her type numbers
but her igure numbers.
Positions. Strings of beads were worn around the
neck, on the breast as part of a pectoral (B
465.8,9,13,14), and at the right wrist; when they
were not worn in the grave, they were mostly lying at the let side of the deceased. This appears
from the following known positions of beads in
relation to the body: once (an amber bead) above
the back of the head (B 620.10), nine times near
the head, apparently around the neck or, in one
case, as part of a spectacular pectoral (B 620.18, B
465.9 (pectoral), B 204.3, B 198.5, B 180.12, OO
273.3, OO 311.2, OO 345.1, OO 304.1), once to the
right of the shoulder (OO 99.1), ive times near the
right arm (B 298.70, B 204.2, OO 9.9, OO 9.10, OO
382.5), once to the let of the head, put inside a
bronze bracelet (B 203.3), once between the
thighs, apparently put on the coin and sunken
later (OO 12.2), once to the let of the lower legs,
apparently put there apart (OO 9.11), once to the
let of the feet, apparently put there apart (OO
207.4), twice in a potery vessel (B 196.6, OO
413.4), and once apart outside the coin (B 197.8).
Numbers. Strings of more than ten beads were
usually mixed (15 examples: B 13.3, B 203.3, B
218.10, B 197.8, B 198.5, OO 9.11, OO 9.9, OO 9.10,
OO 9.14, OO 382.5, OO 273.3, OO 311.2, OO 345.1,
OO 304.1, OO 413.4). W. van der Sluijs (pers.
comm.) comments on the reconstruction of OO
345.1 in the ind catalogue: reconstructing Roman
bead strings is risky because, remarkably, they
were not always of symmetric design, e.g. a necklace may be half blue, half green. This remark is
borne out by the composition of gold-wire necklace OO 250.11, where all four emeralds are on the
same side of the body as the fastening hook.
Strings of only one kind of beads of the same col-
341
—
our and shape occur only four times (B 465.9: dark
blue miniature glass beads, gilt or with gold-coloured incrustation, bronze ringlets and a lunulate
pendant (see above, Pendants; below, the section
Pectoral, and the discussion of the positions of the
inds in B 465); OO 12.2: 49 biconical transparent
blue glass beads; B 204.2: ive jet or black glass
beads each pierced twice, worn as a bracelet; OO
250.10: 49 ring-shaped beads of blue transparent
glass. The double occurrence of a 49-bead (= 72)
string (OO 12.2, OO 250.11) may not be incidental
and recalls number symbolism or even mysticism.)
Six times, the number of beads lies between 6
and 10 (B 620.18, B 196.6, OO 207.4, OO 88.1, OO
129.2, OO 396.1). Three times, it lies between 2
and 5 (B 139.2, B 661.1, B 204.2). Seven times,
there is only a single bead (B 670.2, B 620.10, B
778.7, B 778.10, B 180.12, OO 99.1 (worn by a
man?), OO 339.14).
Materials. Most beads are made of glass. Other
materials are: amber (B 620.10, B 197.8, B 196.6,
OO 413.4), jet (B 204.2-3, B 740.2, OO 207.4),
?rock-crystal (B 197.8), rolled silver sheet (B 196.6),
bronze and ivory (OO 413.4), and stone (B stray
139).
Glass beads are either transparent or opaque. Transparent glass beads have the following shapes:
globular, latish globular, lat-cylindrical, latoval, ring-shaped, tubular, biconical, disk-shaped,
barrel-shaped, polyhedral (cubes the corners of
which have been removed, so that a body of fourteen planes emerges), irregularly latish, heartshaped, almond-shaped, and hexagonal prisms.
The predominant colours of transparent glass
beads are green and blue; yellow is rare. Opaque
glass beads are of the following shapes: short
cylindrical, segmented (i.e. long tubular with
transverse ribs and grooves), lat, latish globular,
cylindrical with two grooves, lat cylindrical, and
hexagonal prisms. The colours are more numerous: white, light green, greyish green, greenish,
green, bluish, blue, mixed blue, dark blue, yellow,
light brown, brown, dark (no colour distinguishable), black.
Both transparent and opque glass beads sometimes have a decoration of glass wire and/or
knobs of diferent colours: B 670.2, B 778.10, B
180.12, OO 304.1.
Some models. Three melon beads occur (B 140.4, B
203.3, OO 9.12; the irst in faience, the later two
of transparent blue glass), possibly reused stray
inds from earlier centuries (cf. Pirling 1966, 116,
117 ig. 13, 24; Pirling 1974, 83). B 203 and OO 9
with their bracelets and strings of beads are
clearly female burials. Glass melon beads already occur in Celtic contexts and were made
until the early Middle Ages. The enigmatic cremation burial B 140 with its melon bead, shears
and soldiers’ ibula, however, brings to light a
characteristic of melon beads in the irst (from
Claudian times: S.M.E. van Lith, BJ 1994, 320)
and second centuries AD: as a soldiers’ amulet
and around the necks of military horses. The
only known workshop for making faience melon
beads is in a soldiers’ barracks in Cologne-Alteburg (Höpken 2001; for a melon bead in a horse
burial: Theune in Pirling/Siepen (2006, 566).
Gilt glass beads are either of transparent colourless glass, originally gilt under an outer layer of
glass, type TM 387b (B 203.4, centuries I-X) or
opaque dark blue glass with gold-coloured
encrustation (B 465.9 and 14; a variant of the
black glass type TM 27, mid ith-century). The at
least 234 latish globular miniature opaque dark
blue glass gilt beads B 465.9 have two unpublished parallels from Aalden-Hoge Hof, municipality of Zweeloo, province Drenthe, NE Netherlands (Assen, Drents Museum 1950/IX 3 and
1950/IX 36): black glass gilt beads with irisation
where the gilding is worn of (W. van der Sluijs,
pers. comm.; Sluijs 2007, type TM 387b, Goldüberfangperlen = gold-slipped beads). Like grave
B 465, the Zweeloo beads are to be dated to Vb
(M. Erdrich, pers. comm.).
The two barrel-shaped dark blue translucent glass
with white glass thread of OO 304.1 have an unpublished, possibly ith-century parallel from Beek
in the Liemersmuseum (W. van der Sluijs, pers.
comm). The dark blue translucent glass bead of
OO 304.1 with six yellow eyes with black have
342
—
Late Roman parallels (Riha 1999, no 1177; Guido
1978, Pls. II, IV).
The jet beads B 204.2-3 and B 740.2 are known
as trilobite beads (Riha 1990, 91: Typ 27, 1345).
Riha (1990, 91) quotes Keller, who thinks that
imitations in black glass come from Pannonia or
Raetia and are fourth-century. OO 207.4 has two
jet beads of cylindrical shape.
Dates. Riha (1990, 91) writes that Haevernick
dates trilobite jet beads like B 204.2-3 and B
740.2 to IIIcd-IVab. Pirling (1966, 118) dates two
graves with amber beads in IVab and IVB; she
dates a grave with a horn bead, comparable in
shape to our bone beads in OO 413.4, to IVB.
Pirling (1974, 84) dates beads with a decoration
of glass wire to IVB. Pirling (1979, 61) remarks
that beads are frequently found in graves without potery or glass vessels, and she supposes
that they were mostly given in IVcd. Böhme
(1974, 41) dates strings of beads of one colour
each mainly to IV, especially to IVcd, and the
larger beads with glass wire decoration to V.
The presence of segmented beads B 298.70 in a
grave dated by its coin series to AD 317-320
shows this model at least to be earlier. The same
holds for beads OO 88.1, associated with a coin
of AD 317-325. Guido (1978, 92) dates segmented
beads from Gallo-Roman examples of I BC to
examples in England, beginning in II and frequent IIId-IV. According to Riha (1990, 88) the
segmented beads become more numerous IIIdIV; the transparent examples from Augst are accompanied by coins of IVB date.
The cylindrical glass bead B 778.10 with zigzag
decoration, which looks as if it is incised but probably has lost a glass wire decoration, belongs to
a group of opaque cilindrical beads that occur
from AD 70-IIab up to V (TempelmannMaczyńska 1985, XXII, types 304-309). Similar
beads with glass thread and blob decoration are
in OO 304.1. They are exotic beads of the Roman
period, without precise date, according to Guido
1978.
Late beads. A curious case is grave B 661, where
four glass beads were found: two tubular, two
barrel-shaped, l 0.4-1.5, green and brick red.
From the same grave comes an eighth-century
copper sceata. Opaque brick red glass beads occur not earlier than IVd, but they remain en vogue
for centuries (Siegmann 1997), and tubular green
ones are again popular in VIIIab. So the beads
and coin belong together (W. van der Sluijs, pers.
comm.) and we have in B 661 one isolated
eighth-century grave in cemetery B. Anyway, the
presence of two eight-century sceatas B 319.intr
and B 661.2 are proof of activities in the eight
century on the terrain of cemetery B. The other
inds in B 319, where the other eighth-century
sceata was found, date that grave unequivocally
to IVab.
Red brick glass beads like the ones in OO 345.1
do not occur before IVd. The greyish blue transparent beads in the same string of beads OO
345.1 have their best parallels in Liebenau grave
P10/A2, which is in Siegmann’s phase 1a, i.e. IVdVa (Siegmann 2002-5, volume 4, s.v. P10/A1).
The presence of these greyish blue and brick red
glass beads in OO 345 makes it the latest datable
grave of cemetery OO, dated here, because of
the continuity of cemetery OO, to IVd, i.e. AD
376-400.
W. van der Sluijs (pers.comm.) comments: All
beads belong to well-known small Late Roman
types. The few exceptions are: three ?reused
melon beads, the trilobite beads B 204.2-3 and B
740.2, the bluish grey bead or spindle whorl
from B 180, the gilt or gold-coloured encrusted
beads from the ith-century grave (B 465.9) and
grave OO 304 with two beads with molten-on
glass wire and the bead with molten-on yellow
dots and zigzag wires, to be dated 300-400.
Bead complexes from the following graves belong to her early group (Van der Sluijs, 2007): B
13, B 198, B 203, B 218, B 298?, B 740, OO 9 (both
early and late), OO 12, OO 88, OO 129, OO 207,
OO 311, OO 382, OO 396.
Bead complexes from the following graves belong to her late group: B 197 (‘possibly already
Frankish’), B 465, B 670 (Van der Sluijs compares
it to bead 31 in the girdle of the ‘Zweeloo princess’: Van Es/Ypey 1977, Vons-Comis 1988), OO 9
(both early and late), OO 304, OO 345 (‘possibly
343
—
already Frankish’)
Date: IVa-Vb, most graves being dated IVab; possibly one case VIIIab.
Pectoral
The pectoral from grave B 465 has been reconstructed from inds B 465.8,9,13,14. It is described in the ind catalogue of B 465. Böhme
(1974, 160-1, ig. 53) shows it in more simple
form. The parts of the pectoral are discussed in
the sections Beads, Armbrustibulae, Composite dish
ibulae with Preßblech decoration, and Pendants.
Date: AD 434-450.
Fibulae:
A Germanic and other ibulae from the time of the
cemeteries
B Earlier Roman ibulae, deliberately put in the Late
Roman graves
C Earlier Roman ibulae, from the grave illing
(intrusions?) or stray inds
A Germanic and other ibulae from the time of the
cemeteries
Armbrust ibulae with faceted foot as wide as the bow:
6 examples
Examples: B 143.4, B 465.8, B 465.11, OO 207.12,
OO 362.5, OO 412.2.
Discussion: Armbrust ibulae with their wide spring
derive their name from their supposed similarity
to the medieval crossbow, which is called Armbrust in German. Böhme (1974, 7-8) calls the
Armbrust ibulae with faceted foot as wide as
the bow the most frequent ibula of the region
between Elbe and Loire in the fourth century; in
VB one such ibula occurs in Gellep grave 968.
The ways of wearing it in Nijmegen are the following: three times they occur as the only ibula
in the grave; two graves containing Armbrust
ibulae combined them with other ibulae. As the
only ibula: B 143.4 was lying at the height of the
right shoulder of a small person; apart from this
female atribute there was a male one as well:
an axe outside the coin, to the right of the hip.
OO 207.12 had three ingerrings on its bow and
was lying together with other personal ornaments to the let of the feet in the coin. OO
412.1 was lying on the right shoulder as the only
artefact in the grave. Combined with other ibulae: B
465.8 was lying together with three small beads
on the let next to the lower jaw, the point of its
needle pointing upwards. B 465.11 was lying on
the middle of the breast, the point of its needle
pointing upwards. (To the right of the head was
lying composite dish ibula B 465.13.) In the discussion of the positions of the inds in B 465, it is
suggested that they were part of a spectacular
pectoral. The iron Armbrust ibula OO 362.5 was
lying on the middle of the upper body, while on
the right shoulder there was lying OO 362.3 and
on the let shoulder support arm ibula OO
362.4.
Date: IVB-VB.
Support-arm ibula with rod-shaped bow and rectangular foot, with axe-support: 1 example
Example: OO 362.4.
Discussion: The only ibula of this type from Nijmegen was lying on the let shoulder of a person who had tutulus ibula OO 362.3 on the right
shoulder and Armbrust ibula OO 362.5 on the
middle of the body: so we are dealing with a
woman. Böhme (1974, 51-52) classiies this ibula, as a derivate of the crossbow ibula, with the
male atributes, but he does know six examples
from women’s graves, all east of the river Weser:
see his ind list 10, p. 356-7 and map 10. His proposed date of Vab for this type does not it in
with the date of AD 334-348 for grave OO 362,
derived from potery and a coin of AD 330-340.
Date: IVb.
Tutulus ibulae: 4 (or 5) examples
Examples: B 620.14, B 798.1, B 798.2 (ground plate
with spring of a bowl or tutulus ibula), OO
362.3, OO stray 67.
Discussion: So far, tutulus ibulae have not been
found in pairs in Nijmegen. Fibulae OO 362.3 and
B 620.14 are of Böhme’s second type, which he
344
—
B 620.14
calls type Nijmegen ater B 620.14 and dates to
IVab (Böhme 1974, 19-24). They have been preserved almost completely: in the irst, a conical
top piece may be missing; in the later, two layers of organical material are missing. They consist each of a bronze ground plate with bronze
spring, and a silver top part (illed with lead in at
least one case) alternating with other material,
around a stem riveted in the ground plate. B
620.14 was found on the let shoulder of a girl
and was the only ibula in this inhumation; OO
362.3 was lying on the right shoulder, while there
was a bronze support-arm ibula on the let
shoulder, and an Armbrust ibula on the middle
of the chest.
Part of the ground plate with spring of tutulus
ibula B 798.1 is preserved, as is the decorated
top piece: the middle part is vanished; together
with a pin of type Fécamp they were lying on the
let shoulder. The decorative disk with which the
top piece closes is not correctly depicted by
Böhme (1974, 22, ig. 7 and Pl. 86,3): his drawing
was presumably made before the disk was
cleaned and restored. This disk looks most like
that of Vermand grave 24, which belongs to
Böhme’s type Oudenburg, dated to IVC (Böhme
1974, 22, ig. 7; 24, Pl. 138, 1a). The ground plate
B 798.2 (position in relation to the body unknown) is smaller than that of B 798.1 and therefore probably belongs not to a tutulus but to a
composite dish ibula with a (vanished) Preßblech
(cf. Böhme 1974, 285, Pl. 86,6). The lower part of
tutulus ibula OO stray 67 is of Böhme type Nijmegen. It is mentioned and depicted by Böhme
(1974, 286, Pl. 86,14).
The decorative plate of B 798.1 is decorated with
four anchors, two cordons and waves. It is
tempting to see this as a symbolic image characterizing the lady who wore it: in the eyes of
the person who chose the ibula for her, she may
have been someone quiet amidst diicult
circumstances. The cordons seem to contribute
to the symbolism: the cables of the anchors. It
reminds the author of the moto of the Dutch
founding father, prince William of Orange (15331584): Saevis tranquillus in undis = Quiet amidst the
raging waves.
Date: Type Nijmegen IVab; type Oudenburg IVC.
East Germanic-Sarmatian sheet ibulae (‘Blechibulae’):
4 examples
Examples: B 288.1 (silver, lost), B stray 1 (bronze; a
complete example and the bow of a second
one), OO stray 297 (silver).
Discussion: Three out of four Nijmegen sheet ibulae with semicircular head and foot fanning out
are stray inds; the only one found during excavations, a silver example, has been lost. Van
Buchem mentions B stray 1 and OO stray 297
amongst Frankish ibulae (Van Buchem 1941, 122,
nos. 1415 and 1414 respectively, Pl. XIX 7 and 6).
They can however be dated in Late Roman
times, as the Scotish Traprain silver treasure
shows. This treasure is dated by its latest coins
of Honorius (west, 395-423; Curle 1923, 5, 84, Pl.
XXXII, XXXIII). Its date is further curtailed by the
latest coins of the setlement in which the scrap
silver treasure was found, of Arcadius (east, 383408; Curle 1923, 110). This ibula type dates
therefore not later than Arcadius’ time.
The Traprain treasure is also helpful to assign
the sheet ibulae to an ethnic group. The sheet
ibula in the treasure is one of only two personal
ornaments in it; the other one is a Sarmatian
hand mirror (Curle 1923, Pl. XXXII, XXXIII; cf.
Sulimirski 1970, 153 ig. 55, 169 ig. 63, 195 ig.
345
—
73). A Sarmatian hand mirror was found in
Gellep grave 4607, in a part of the cemetery consisting only of IVcd graves (Pirling 1988, 455).
This same combination of a Sarmatian hand
mirror and such a sheet ibula with a somewhat
more pointed foot was found in a woman’s
grave near Reims; they are considered proof of
the presence of Alano-Sarmatians in Gaul
(Pirling 1988, 460 Abb. 6; Kazanski 1986). Pirling
calls the ibula East Germanic-Sarmatian. This
type of sheet ibula is considered East-Germanic
in the Reallexikon der Germanischen Altertumskunde
(s.v. Fibel und Fibeltracht, K. Späte Völkerwanderungszeit und Merowingerzeit = Martin 2000,
132 (542), ig. 129, 2); however, all 13 examples
depicted there have litle knobs at the edge of
the head, which are absent from the Nijmegen
and Traprain ibulae. Therefore, the Nijmegen
and Traprain ibulae and two examples from the
Crimea (Salin 1935, 9 no. 13a, 11 no. 14) seem to
be the earliest ones in the type series. Finally, exact parallels for our ibulae are in the Troyes museum, and are considered proof of the presence
in Gaul of Alanians, a Sarmatic, i.e. a south Russian ethnic group (Sulimirski 1970, 188, Pl. 57,
58); their capital Orléans was besieged by the
Huns AD 451.
To round of: these sheet ibulae from both Nijmegen-Inner City and Nijmegen-East are East
Germanic-Sarmatian, dating to IVcd-Va, and are
especially connected with the Sarmatian ethnic
group of the Alans. Alans were mentioned twice
as horsemen by Vegetius together with the Huns
(Epitoma rei militaris 1,20 ; 3,26).
People were coming from southern Russia to
Gellep, Nijmegen, Reims, Troyes, Orléans, and
their plunder was found as far as Scotland: the
Sarmatians were here as Roman auxiliary troups.
There were praefecti Laetorum et Sarmatorum in
central and northern Gaul (Notitia Dignitatum XLII
65-70; Brulet 1995, 104; see remark on the axes
above).
Date: IVcd-Va.
B 465.13
Composite dish ibulae with Preßblech decoration: 2 or
3 examples
Examples: B 365.1, B 465.13, B 798.2?
Discussion: The bronze Preßblech decoration was
glued to the slightly concave bowl-shaped base
with resin. The Preßblech of B 365.1 is lost and
four scars can be seen where it was glued. The
ground plate B 798.2 (position in relation to the
body unknown) is smaller than that of the accompanying tutulus ibula B 798.1 and therefore
probably belongs not to a tutulus but to a composite dish ibula with a (vanished) Preßblech (cf.
Böhme 1974, 285, Pl. 86,6). Neither ibula can be
assigned to a type as deined by Böhme, so their
date cannot be more precise than the entire period of this kind of ibula: IVa-Vb (Böhme 1974,
28).
Böhme (1974, 26) assigns B 465.13 with the interlaced Star of David to his type Rhenen, thus
called ater the two examples found in Rhenen
graves 356 and 844 (Böhme 1974, Pls. 60,2 and
67,10). He dates Rhenen grave 356 to the middle
of V (Böhme 1974, 39). Rhenen, with its as yet
unpublished Late Roman/early medieval cemetery, is some 25 km NW of Nijmegen. Preliminary publication: Van Es/Wagner 2000. Böhme
calls the Star of David unthinkable without the
IVC Kerbschnit belt sets and dates the type in
Vab. And, I might add, it is also unthinkable
without the interlaced Stars of David on Roman
silver tableware made in several areas of the Ro-
346
—
man Empire in the fourth century: the luted
bowl of Mildenhall, dated IVc (Brailsford 1947,
Pl. 6), and bowl 52 of the Kaiseraugst treasure,
put in the ground in 352/352 (Kaufmann-Heinimann/Furger 1984, 10 and 36-37). The later one
was probably made in Naissus, present-day Niš
in Serbia, as were two other Kaiseraugst pieces
with interlaced motives, nos 41 (a luted bowl as
well) and 60.
Composite dish ibula B 465.13 of type Rhenen
was lying to the right of the head and above the
vanished right shoulder of the priestess in grave
B 465: it may have fastened her dress on the
right shoulder. In the discussion of the positions
of the inds in B 465, it is suggested that it was
part of a spectacular pectoral.
Date: IVd-Vb; type Rhenen VB.
Gold open-work disk ibula: 1 example
Example: B stray 238
Discussion: This gold decorative piece, depicted in
colour photograph by Bloemers et al. (1981,
frontispiece on p. 4), is assigned by Vierck (1974,
357 and 356, ig. 17,4) to a series of Byzantine
and ‘byzantinizing’ jewels from the stylistic
group around the goldsmith Eligius (AD 588660), because of its open-work tendrils. Eligius,
who was bishop of Noyon from AD 639, worked
as a goldsmith in the Paris court of the Merovingian king Dagobert I. (Ater his death he was
canonized and is known in English as St. Eloi, patron of goldsmiths.) This makes this stray ind,
bought from an art dealer and reportedly found
near the Broerkerk, a conspicuously late piece
for the Inner City cemetery. The ind report may
be false.
Date: AD 608-639, assuming Eligius was an accomplished goldsmith at the age of 20 and
stopped this work when he became a bishop.
Frankish bow ibula: 1 example
Example: OO stray 299.
Discussion: The Frankish bow ibula depicted by
Van Buchem (1941, Pl. XIX 5, p. 122, no. 1413)
comes from the Hunerberg, so possibly from
cemetery Nijmegen-East. Vallet (19972, 684) calls
it the standard female ibula in northern Gaul in
VIa: straight foot, semicircular head decorated
with ribs and spiral motives, and elongated by
ive knobs. The model corresponds to ibula 12.8
in Siegmund (1998, ig. 81), which belongs to his
phase 3, AD 485-530.
Date: AD 485-530.
B Earlier Roman ibulae, deliberately put in the Late
Roman graves
There are too many earlier Roman ibulae
present in the Late Roman graves of Nijmegen
to consider their presence accidental, i.e. to
think that they happened to get into the illing.
We see the same phenomenon with irst- and
second-century coins, discussed in Chapter 3.
Aucissa ibula: 2 examples
Examples: B 132.1 (bronze), OO 48.3 (iron)
Discussion: Aucissa ibulae are hinge ibulae, typical of Roman soldiers and made in pre-Flavian
times, so in Iab(c) (Haalebos 1986, 43). OO 48.3,
of which the position in relation to the body is
unknown, may have been dug up unintentionally and thrown into the grave with the illing. B
132.1 was lying to the right of the top of the head
and may have been a found example, reused intentionally.
Date: Iab(c).
Wire ibula: 2 examples
Examples: B 204.5, B stray 317.
Discussion: B stray 317 comes from a feature earlier than IV near grave B 680; B 204.5 comes
from a grave with many female atributes and
was lying near the let leg. (Its name in common
parlance, soldier’s ibula, is hardly mentioned in
the literature, apart from Van de Weerd (1944,
332, no. 13A) and the Reallexikon der Germanischen
Altertumskunde (s.v. Fibel und Fibeltracht 516,
Abb. 112,1.) The round hole in the foot inds a
parallel in a wire ibula from Maurik (Haalebos
1986, 93, ig. 43, 34). Haalebos (1986, 51-52)
dates the wire ibulae AD 70 to IIcd. Example B
204.5 may be a found and reused one. Alternatively but less probably, it may have unintention-
347
—
ally come into the illing of the grave and sunk to
the level of the grave goods aterwards.
Date: Ad 70-IId.
Knee ibula: 1 example (lost)
Example: OO 186.10.
Discussion: Knee ibulae, thus called ater the
conspicuous bend in their bow, were made in
the irst century AD (Haalebos 1986, 30-31). The
lost example OO 186.10, which was found on the
lower body on the let and was accompanied by
seven pieces of potery from IVab, must have
been either a found and reused one or an intrusion.
Date: I.
Hinge ibula with lateral knobs: 1 example
Example: B 517.intr.
Discussion: There seems to be no exact parallel
for B 517.intr. It may be assigned to Van
Buchem’s group 20B: strongly proiled bow with
lateral knobs (Van Buchem 1941, 96-98, Pl. XI
1-22) and Haalebos’ hinge ibulae C (Haalebos
1986, 46-47, ig. 32, 4-5), dated by him from
Claudian times to II. So it may be that B 517.1,
found in unknown position in relation to the
body, is either an intrusion or something intentionally thrown in the grave as it was being illed.
Date: IB-II.
C Earlier Roman ibulae, from the grave illing or stray
inds (an Aucissa ibula and a wire ibula, discussed
above in section B, belong to this category)
Eye ibula: 1 or 2 examples
Examples: B 231.1, B stray 304.
Discussion: Eye ibulae mainly come from Claudian times (Haalebos 1986, 35-41). B 231.1 can
therefore be considered either an intrusion from
earlier times or something intentionally thrown
into the grave as it was being illed. B stray 304,
found on the Mariënburg, is called ‘a very big
eye ibula’ in the documentation.
Date: IB.
Rosete ibula: 2 examples
Examples: B 227.3 (fragment), B 299.2 (fragment).
Discussion: The fragmentary rosete ibulae belong to an early Roman type (Van Buchem 1941,
74-76, Pl. IV), which seems to have been used
mainly by indigenous Gallic women (Haalebos
1986, 73; his note 145 refers to B 227.3). For neither example the position in relation to the body
is known: one may surmise they are intrusions
or intentionally thrown objects in the illing of
the grave. Their fragmentary state argues for the
irst possibility.
Date: IB.
OO 101.11
Trumpet ibula Almgren 101: 1 example
Example: OO 101.11.
Discussion: This conspicuously decorative Germanic silver trumpet ibula comes from an unknown position in the grave, and with its date of
Id it will be either an intrusion or something intentionally thrown in the grave as it was being
illed in.
Date: Id.
Other ibulae: 4 examples
Examples: B 690.4 (pin of a ibula), B 829.1 (no
data), B stray 54, B stray 195.
Discussion: No drawing exists of B stray 54. B
stray 195 is, according to Van Buchem (1941, p
98, no. 650, Pl X 34), a hinge ibula with strongly
proiled bow, found on the Mariënburg; Daniëls
(1955, 244, n. 3) contradicts this and thinks that
the ibula with inventory number BE.IV.51A is the
348
—
one found on the Mariënburg; if so, there is no
drawing. B 829.1 is lost and there are no data.
Bracelets:
A Sapropelite bracelets
B Glass bracelets
C Bracelets of twisted or twined bronze wire, with a
small bell
Related with these: small bells with tongue
D Undecorated bracelets with expanding fastening
E Bronze bracelets: strip, solid penannular and snakeshead bracelets
F Hollow bronze sheet bracelets with an iron core
G Bone bracelets
Combinations of bracelets in our cemeteries
usually are a sign of prosperity: they occur in ive
rich graves, in two reasonably rich graves, and in
two graves with hardly or no other grave goods.
The graves concerned are: B 620 (several metal
wire bracelets in a rich girl’s grave), B 701 (several examples in a wooden chest in a rich grave),
OO 12 (several examples in a reasonably rich
grave), OO 9 (several examples in a rich grave),
OO 207 (several examples in a reasonably rich
grave), OO 252 (diferent materials, same type in
rich grave), OO 195 (one at each forearm in a
grave with grave goods), OO 382 (several examples in a rich grave), and OO 311 (several examples in grave with one grave good).
A Sapropelite bracelets: 3 examples
Examples: B 196.7, OO 129.3, OO 252.10.
Discussion: The three bracelets discussed here
were not found on a wrist. Pirling (1966, 118-119)
mentions a bracelet of this sot dull-black material from a grave dated by coins to the years ater
AD 298. Under a microscope, the material
proved to be cannel coal or sapropelite: a stone
formed by the accumulation and compression of
dead water-organisms under anaerobic conditions. The material is discussed by M. Teichmüller in Pirling (1974, 227) and in Der Neue Pauly
s.v., where its provenance from Bohemia and
Moravia is mentioned. Pirling (1974, 87) mentions four sapropelite bracelets to be dated in
IVB or IVAB; they were never found on the wrist.
Pirling (1979, 62) mentions a sapopelite bracelet,
datable to either IVab because of potery or to
IVB because of glass beads found with it.
Date: IVAB.
OO 9.8
B Glass bracelets: 3 examples
Examples: B 180.11 (black), OO 9.8 (transparent
dark green), OO 252.8 (shining black, opaque).
Discussion: Pirling (1974, 86-87) mentions a glass
bracelet from a child’s grave in a part of the
Gellep cemetery with only IVcd graves. Pirling
(1979, 62) dates a new glass bracelet also in IVcd.
The Nijmegen graves are to be dated 316-318,
301-350 and 301-350, respectively.
Date: IVab.
C Bracelets of twisted or twined bronze wire, with a
small bell, 6 examples
Examples: B 13.2, B 172.3, B 197.7, B 203.3, B 620.7,
B 699.1.
Discussion: Three out of the four graves mentioned are children’s graves, as appears from
their dimensions: the bracelet of twisted metal
wire is a litle girl’s atribute. Pirling (1966, 118)
mentions a bracelet, twined from three bronze
wires with fastening consisting of hook and eye,
in a fourth-century grave. Pirling (1966, 180-181)
dates them up to Vab. Pirling (1974, 85-86) dates
349
—
fourteen new examples to IVB and one around
AD 400. Pirling (1979, 61-62) mentions one more
example, which she dates ater AD 350 because
of its W-E orientation. Swit discusses the bracelets with twisted square section (2000, 128, ig.
151, top right) and the two-strand cable bracelets
without (2000, 124; distribution map p. 125, ig.
146) and with wrapped terminals (2000, 123, ig.
144 botom right; distribution map p. 126, ig.
148).
Date: IVAB.
From B 699.1 hangs a small bell with a tongue.
Related to these bracelets are the following
inds:
Small bells with clapper: 4 examples, two of which
hanging from a bracelet
Examples: B 185.1, B 683.1, B 699.1, B 740.1.
Discussion: Three out of these four graves are
children’s graves; the association with twisted
bracelets makes it probable that it is a small
girls’ atribute. Pirling (1966, 126-127) mentions a
small bell from a child’s grave (IIId-IVa), remarking that bells are found more oten in Roman
graves (KölnJbVFG 4, 1959, 25), and supposing an
apotropaic purpose. Also in the Roman catacombs, twisted bracelets with small bells are interpreted as small girls’ atributes. Willemsen
(2003, ig. 52, 79-82) discusses an engraving
from Boldeti (1720) on which they are depicted
together with dolls. The small bell with concentric circles botom let on this engraving is a
striking parallel for the small bell B 185.1 from
Nijmegen.
Date: IVAB.
D Undecorated bracelets with expanding fastening: 8
examples
Examples: B 402.1, B 402.2, B 592.2, B 620.9a
(iron), B 751.4 (?, iron), OO 207.5, OO 207.6, OO
473.4.
Discussion: Undecorated bracelets with expanding fastening consist of metal wire bent in an
oval shape whose ends overlap several cm, ater
which they are twisted around the wire next to
it. They were made to allow for growth or passing over the hand by sliding the ends nearer to
one another and thus widening the bracelet.
They were probably bought for girls, who kept
wearing them into adult age, as appears from
the lengths of the coins in which they were
found: child’s grave, length unknown - 140 - 160
- 162 - 170 - 194 - 200 - 204 cm (the values above
160 being well over the average length of women of this time). B 620.9, from the sarcophagus
of the Grutberg, deviates in three ways from the
other examples: it is made of iron wire, it has
two metal beads outside the slide fastenings,
and 8-shaped iron links hang from it. Remains of
three ine bone bracelets, which had been preserved in the iron corrosion, have been let in
place at restoration. The iron bracelet B 751.4,
which has not been cleaned, has three complete
and three broken glass beads on it, and is probably also an iron-wire adjustable bracelet. Pirling
(1966, 118) mentions one adjustable bracelet
from IVB. Böhme (1974, 45, Taf. 95,11) mentions
a variant made of thick wire with thin ends. Swit
discusses these bracelets (2000, 127; distribution
map p. 125, ig. 146).
Date: IVAB.
E Bronze bracelets: 28 examples (7 strip bracelets,
8 solid penannular bracelets, 8 snakeshead
bracelets, 5 other bracelets)
Examples of strip bracelets: B 172.3, OO 12.9, OO
195.1, OO 195.2, OO 341.1, OO 382.6, OO 413.5.
Examples of solid penannular bracelets: B stray 29,
OO 12.4, OO 12.5, OO 88.2, OO 207.7, OO 473.4,
OO stray 295-6.
Examples of snakeshead bracelets: B 154.2, B 185.2,
OO 12.7, OO 12.8, OO 37.4, OO 311.4, OO 311.5,
OO 311.6.
Examples of other bronze bracelets: B 701.12, OO
207.8, OO 382.7, OO stray 295-296.
Discussion: Swit (2000, 117-185) treats fourthcentury bronze bracelets. As with the crossbow
ibulae, she refers to all kinds of decorations by
means of numbers, showing drawings without
ever deining the decorations or referring to, let
alone giving, the complete list from which she
350
—
draws. Nevertheless, her decoration numbers
are given here. On strip bracelets we have decorations a2 (Swit 2000, 129; distribution map 141
ig. 170), a5 (129; distribution map 140 ig. 169),
a14 (129; 132 ig. 156 botom right; distribution
map 142 ig. 172) and h3 (145; distribution map
152 ig. 189). On snakeshead bracelets terminals
of Swit’s type 1 (153; distribution map 169 ig.
215, something that looks like an abstract version of the naturalistic type 10 (but that is from
Raetia and Noricum: 153; distribution maps 170
igs. 217-218), and type 31 (173, distribution map
224). Some decorations found on Nijmegen
bracelets are not treated in Swit 2000.
The Nijmegen bronze bracelets were never
welded fast. There are closed bracelets, bracelets which can be opened and permanently open
bracelets.
There are two closed bronze bracelets. The ends
of the strip bracelet OO 382.6 have been riveted
together. OO 311.3 has a double twisted fastening that cannot be expanded (in contrast to the
adjustable bracelets discussed under D). Both
are strip bracelets with engraved decoration.
The other strip bracelets which can be opened
derive their rigidity from their fastening. Engraved decoration on the entire exterior surface
is found on bracelets of lat-oval section (OO
88.2, OO 195.2, OO stray 296) and on strip bracelets; in four out of these ive, the fastening consisting of hook and eyelet has been preserved
(OO 12.9, OO 207.8, OO 195.1, OO 341.1, OO 413.5;
eyelet preserved on OO stray 296). B 701.12 possibly has an eyelet.
The permanently open bracelets derive their rigidity from their round or square section; they
frequently have decorated ends. One has lancetshaped ends (snakesheads?: B 185.2), seven have
stylized snakesheads as terminals (B 154.2, OO
37.4, OO 12.6-7, OO 311.4-6). Four permanently
open bracelets (called penannular solid bracelets
by Swit 2000, 130 ig. 153 top let; distribution
maps 131, ig. 154-155) are completely undecorated or almost so: OO 12.4,5,7 and OO stray
295. Also undecorated but lat and band-shaped
as well is the permanently open bracelet OO
207.7, which was worn together with three other
thin bracelets. An incomplete thin ribbed bracelet is unique: B 172.3.
Date: IVAB for all three kinds.
F Hollow bronze sheet bracelets (with an iron core?): 3
examples
Examples: OO 9.13, OO 29.12, OO 311.7.
Discussion: An incomplete hollow bronze sheet
bracelet with ingeniously hammered decoration
and probably an iron core: OO 9.13; bronze tube
OO 29.12 and lat-rectangular iron pieces OO
311.7 possibly also are parts of such bracelets.
Pirling (1974, 86) has two such bracelets in one
grave, datable to IVB by a coin of AD 337. Cf.
Swit (2000, 180 ig. 228).
Date: IVcd.
G Bone bracelets: 4 examples, 3 of which from one
grave
Examples: B 620.9b-d (three), B 701.13.
Discussion: All four bracelets are in a very fragmentary state. They occur in two rich graves,
which both also contain another bracelet. They
are very thin and have a round, lat-oval or Dshaped section. As the three examples in B 620
were (partially) preserved by corrosion, other
examples elsewhere may have been lost.
Date: IVAB.
Finger-rings
A Gold inger-rings
B Silver inger-ring
C Bronze inger-rings
D Iron inger-ring
E Opaque glass inger-rings
Only three inger-rings are mentioned for Gellep
(Pirling 1966, 119; 1979, 62-63, remarking that
inger-rings do not belong to the usual inds).
The Nijmegen cemeteries have so far produced
twelve rings. Böhme (1974, 120-122) remarks
that inger-rings occur both in female and in
male graves. There are no parallels for the Nijmegen rings in the studies mentioned.

B 680.5-6, B 680.7
OO 250.13
A Gold inger-rings: 3 examples
Examples: B 680.7 (with gold bezel), OO 250.13
(with gem), OO stray 313 (adjustable inger-ring,
found on a spoil heap during the excavations
near the Margriet pavilion).
Discussion: The worn gold inger-ring B 680.7
with gold bezel, on which the upper bodies of a
man and a woman are depicted, has the Greek
legend OMONOIA = concord. The woman on the
let, in proile, raises her right forearm to the
breast of her husband on the right, whose body
is shown frontally but who turns his head towards her and apparently does not reciprocate
her caress. The ring has been discussed by the
excavator Brunsting twice: in a newspaper and
in an archaeological review (Brunsting 1952a;
1953). He considers it to be a wedding ring that
had been worn for a long time. The conspicuous
number of seven gold globules with which the
bezel is soldered to the hoop, he suggests, might
refer to the seven week-gods of the Septizonium, the seven planet-gods, in Roscher’s words
Lenker des menschlichen Schicksale: Sun, Moon,
Mars, Mercurius, Juppiter, Venus, and Saturnus.
He does ind parallels but no clue for a date.
OMONOIA rings and an OMONOIA gold girdle
are discussed by Kathrin Schade and interpreted
as wedding atributes; their iconography is compared with that of married couples on sarcophagi (Schade 2003, 124-127, Pl. 15.3-5 (rings),
Pl. 17.2 (girdle), Pl. 16.1-2 (sarcophagi)). Her observation that in iconography emotional utering
is given to the female half and that the man remains passive, its in very well with the depiction
on the Nijmegen ring. But even her study gives
us no clue for a date of the Nijmegen ring (other
than: earlier than her Theodosian examples), as
it has no real parallel.
The gold inger-ring with gem OO 250.13 with its
special form has no parallel I know of. A comparable human igure on the bevelled glass stone:
Gellep grave 740 (Pirling 1966, part 1, 175 ig. 6).
Pirling assigns grave 740 to her phase III, to be
dated VIbcd (Pirling 1966, part 2, 22, 93, Pl. 65).
The other inds in OO 250, however, put the date
for the Nijmegen ring no later than IVA.
The adjustable gold-wire inger-ring OO stray
313 is unique amongst the inger-rings, but can
be compared to the adjustable bronze-wire
bracelets of the same structure and is therefore
to be dated IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
B Silver inger-ring: 1 example
Example: OO 207.9.
Discussion: From the bow of Armbrust ibula OO
207.12 hang two open bronze inger-rings and
one closed silver inger-ring. The silver ring, inner d. 1.7, has a hoop w 0.2, which broadens to
the shoulders with an engraved triangle each
and to a thicker round bezel, d 0.5, with an engraved x.
Date: IVab.
352
—
E Opaque glass inger-rings: 3 examples
Examples: B stray 194 (2x), B stray 199.
Discussion: One of these rings has a decoration of
three times an O. No further data.
Rings of unknown function: 13 examples (18 rings)
Examples: B 620.19 (fragment of a small bronze
ring, position in sarcophagus unknown), B 670.1
(small bronze ring plus half a second one), B
704.10, B 778.8 (small bronze ring), OO 12.10
(thin bronze ring), OO 49.1 (bronze ringlet, no
data), OO 186.9 (bronze ring, no data), OO
195.3-4 (two bronze rings), OO 277.3-4 (two
bronze rings), OO 473.5 (iron ring).
OO 102.4
C Bronze inger-rings: 5 examples
Examples: OO 9.14 (with bezel), OO 29.2c (ingeror belt-ring), OO 102.4 (with gem), OO 207.10-1
(two out of three rings, hanging from a ibula),
OO 304.2.
Discussion: Grave OO 29, in which not only bronze
ring OO 29.2c occurs, but also iron ring OO 29.1,
is a male burial, as appears from the belt set. OO
102.4 has a glass gem in which an animal to the
let is indicated with a series of drill holes. OO
207.9-11 are three small inger-rings, hanging
from the bow of an Armbrust ibula Böhme 37e,
i.e. the standard ibula of the Frisia area. One is a
silver closed ring, two are bronze open rings,
consisting each of a hoop widening from 0.05 to
0.2. The triple bezel of OO 304.2 consists of three
oval planes divided from one another by incised
lines; on the middle plane there is a semi-globular thickening.
Date: IVabc.
D Iron inger-ring: 1 example
Example: OO 29.1.
Discussion: Iron inger-ring OO 29.1 was found in
a male inhumation, as appears from a belt set. It
has not been cleaned and seems to have a bezel.
Date: IVd.
Sapropelite (also known as cannel coal or lydite) makeup box: 1 example
Example: OO 250.17.
Discussion: Make-up or jewelry box OO 250.17 is
made of sapropelite, a material discussed above
in section A of the bracelets. Its material and dimensions (d 11.4, h when closed 3.9) make it a
unique piece. A comparable smaller example
made of real lydite (= black lignite, called ater a
site near the Lydian city of Gagis) was found in
Gellep grave 1223 and dated by Pirling to IVab
(Pirling 1966, part 2, 144, Pl. 102:18ab, Pl. 118:4;
Pirling/Siepen 2006, 305). In the same study,
however, she dates it to IIId-IVa and interprets it
as a make-up box because of a lydite spatula lying near it, probably used for applying make-up
(Pirling 1966, part 1, 125). Such an indication is
missing for the Nijmegen example. The fact that
it was empty and that the grave also contained a
wooden chest, in which jewelry was usually kept,
may mean that this was a make-up box as well.
The function of unguent-box, however, is excluded: the intricate incised decoration of the
interior botom would be invisible under the unguent and could not be cleaned hygienically. So
the most probable function seems to be a box
for a powder-puf. When the owner used it, she
would see the decoration enhanced by the powder lying in the incised lines.
Date: IVA.

Bone combs: 3 examples (one lost)
Examples: B 620.16, B 834.7 (lost), OO 400.4.
Discussion: Both preserved combs are triangular
in shape and consist of three layers of bone, held
together with metal pins: B 620.16 had ten
bronze pins, of which one is lost; six iron pins are
preserved in OO 400.4. Three layers does not
mean three plates: comb B 620.16 has seven
bone parts; one plate of the middle layer of OO
400.4 is twisted, protrudes and shows a straight
side. Some beginnings of the teeth, sawn in the
middle layer, are preserved in B 620.16. The outer surfaces of both combs are decorated with
dot-and-circles along the sides. Böhme (1974,
122) calls this model form A, to be dated in IVab.
According to the documentation there was also
a comb B 834.7: if it ever existed, it is now lost.
Date: IVab.
and Glass Mirror Covers, about whose date and
provenance she is silent.
The silver-plated bronze mirror OO stray 48,
found in the Hugo de Grootstraat, belongs to
Lloyd-Morgan’s group Rc (no. 2), Roman Lid Mirrors (Lloyd-Morgan 1981, 74). On p. 69 she seems
to imply that this group is irst-century; in that
case, the mirror comes not from the fourth-century cemetery OO, but from the irst-century
cemetery, which it overlaps.
Date: IVab.
Cosmetic paletes: 3 instances
Examples: B 59.15 (porido verde), B 180.8, B
180.9.
Discussion: Cosmetic paletes are not mentioned
by Pirling for Gellep, nor by Böhme for the ElbeLoire area. Cosmetic palete B 59.15 is a reused
round piece of costly opus sectile, porido verde
antico (metamorphic labradorite poririte,
provenance: Marathonisi in the southern
Peloponnese; determination H. Kars). The two
possible cosmetic paletes B 180.8 and B 180.9
are round and of white granular limestone; these
too may be reused architectural material.
Date: IVab.
B 620.17
Mirrors: 3 examples
Examples: B 59.13 (lost), B 620.17, B stray 283?,
OO stray 48.
Discussion: Of those found in the excavation, only
mirror B 620.17 with its lead seting is preserved
in a heavily restored state (Kempkens 1999, 7).
Böhme (1974, 48) writes that mirrors with lead
seting are known from Roman graves of the
third and fourth centuries, but he mentions this
example as the only one between the Elbe and
the Loire. Pirling (1966, 1974 and 1979) mentions
no mirrors in Gellep. Lloyd-Morgan (1981, 106)
assigns this mirror to her group Y, Glass Mirrors
B 26.1
Wooden chests: 14 examples plus three loose keys
and a ?bolt of a lock
Examples: B 26.1, B 207.6, B 293.4, B 320.1, B
701.9, OO 24.2, OO 103.4, OO 144.11?, OO
250.18+14 (decorative nail), OO 250.19? (wood
remains with red paint; nails), OO 252.11, OO
301.1, OO 305.1?, OO 339.10 (presumed), OO
354
—
339.11, OO 339.12 (presumed), OO 361.6; B 140.7
(iron keys), B 227.2 (bolt of a lock?), B stray 261
(bronze key).
Discussion: The most important literature on
these wooden chests is Buschhausen 1971,
Gáspár 1986 and Radnóti 1957. Dinkler-von
Schubert 1980 points out that these chests were
known as arcae not as scrinia, as Buschhausen
1971 calls them. It may be added that the Latin
word arcanus (meaning hidden, concealed, secret,
private) is connected with arca. Medusa heads on
the chests were meant to keep everyone but the
owner from looking inside.
Measurements of seven chests are known:

The measurements of B 320.1 (see there) can
only be guessed at, but they are of a diferent
order: some 10x6 cm.
On wood joints and iron corner reinforcements the
following remarks may be made. Gáspár (1986,
36), in her book on such chests, refers to Sokolskij, who had remarked that wood joints in antiquity were such that no metal reinforcements
were needed. This opinion is not supported by
the Nijmegen material presented here: we do
ind wood joints three times, but much more often bent lozenge-shaped iron corner reinforcements are used to join side and back. Wood
joints are found in B 293.4, B 701.9 and OO
339.11. B 293.4 has dovetails in the front corners
of the lid. In B 701.9 two strips on the inside of
the front (top right) have been chiselled out,
which served to hold two laths that together
formed a small compartment for small objects.
When the chest was restored (Kempkens 2001),
the compartment was made over the entire
depth of the chest. OO 339.11 has a dovetail top
right between side and front. Moreover, its lid
has a hollow proile that closes over the raised
inner border of the chest. Iron corner reinforcements are present on four or ive chests: B 26.1,
B 293.4, B 207.6(?), OO 250.4 and OO 339.11.
Their presence is mysterious, because they are
not needed on wood joints. Moreover, they are
needed only on heavy chests meant for heavy
contents; nothing of the sort has ever been suggested for these chests, nor will it be suggested
below. Their coarse character and the sometimes large nails that held them (lat head 1x1 on
OO 339.11) excludes that they were meant as
decoration. A possible explanation is that they
were needed to bear the weight of the lid when
it hung completely open.
Further nails were found in one possible chest of
56x48, in grave B 6.
Remains of iron hinges were found in three
chests: B 293.4, B 701.9 and OO 339.11. In B 701.9
one was preserved and restored. In B 293.4 two
have been preserved in corroded condition: lat
strips of iron that were apparently mounted on
the back with two nails each, l 9-13.2, w 2-2.2. At
their top is a hole, through which goes the eye of
another strip. These strips, broken of in all cases, were apparently mounted vertically on the
back of the lid. Two iron hinges of OO 339.11
each consist of two partly folded iron strips,
mounted with two iron nails; the vertical one
goes with its central part around the hinge pin,
the horizontal one does so with two side parts
each. Two large bronze decorative nails with
rectangular shats and heavy lat-globular heads
covered with silver decorative plates held the
front holes of each horizontal hinge strip.
A discussion of locks is to be found in Gáspár
(1986, 40-58). Iron locks, mounted on the inside
on the wood have been found in B 26.1, B 701.9
and OO 339.11. The shape of the keyhole in the
bronze sheet mounting of B 26.1 and B 701.9, a
narrow vertical slit with rounded ends, implies a
turning lock in which the key was probably revolved 360o. The iron lock of B 701.9 is preserved, but neither this nor the hinges were included in the 2001 restoration, since they were
355
—
only located in the museum depot in 2002. The
plate that was part of the lock on the inside of
the chest is 10 cm high, and its width tapers from
6.7 at the top and 5 at the botom. The iron lock
consists of a strip hanging from the inside of the
front of the lid plus this internal lock plate nailed
onto the wood and curved in such a way that the
iron strip could slide between it and the wood. A
square hole in the lock plate has an upstanding
bronze pin at the botom right corner, which
would snap into a corresponding hole in the
strip. The (missing) key conceivably drew the
strip towards the wood and away from the
bronze pin, thus allowing the chest to open.
Chest OO 339.11 has a keyhole of bearded shape.
All three belong to Gáspár’s lock type VIII.
Keys were found with chests OO 250.18 and OO
252.11. Key OO 250.18a is a turning key with
partly hollow shat, that must have ited over
the tongue of a lock of Gáspár’s type VIII. OO
252.11e is a slide key and presumably belongs to
a lock of Gáspár’s Type III, variant 2. This key is
put through the keyhole into the bolt, turned 90o
and ited under the tumbling pins that keep the
bolt in its place. The key is then lited together
with the tumblers, ater which the bolt is slid
sidewards together with the key. Turning keys
without a lock to which they belonged are the
two iron ones B 140.7 and the bronze B stray 261.
The small bronze object B 227.2 with rectangular
hole and protrusions possibly is the bolt of a lock
with a tumbler in the rectangular hole.
The bronze sheet mountings were decorative and
were ixed with bronze decorative nails, and/or,
in the case of loose pieces with igures on them,
a white substance; excavator Brunsting in his
notes calls it gypsum, whereas restorer Kempkens, in the case of B 701.9, names it lead or tin
with lead/tin disease (Kempkens 2001, 1.7). Willer (2000, 366) discusses the alloy used for the
bronze sheet of a comparable chest: 86% copper, 7% tin, 7% zinc, no lead. ‘This alloy would be
named red brass nowadays, an alloy with good
properties for forging, which makes a bloat-free
cast possible, a necessary condition for hammering it out to a thin sheet.’
The complete scheme of bronze sheet mountings is
known for four chests: B 26.1, B 701.9, OO 339.11
and B 293.4. The irst three mentioned are
decorated according to the scheme of Gáspár
group VI (1986, 55-56, ig. 44). These groups do
not imply a chronology.
B 293.4 was decorated in a scheme not depicted
by Gáspár: two continuous corner mountings
with three protruding and two indented compartments; above them, on the corners of the
lid, were mountings corresponding to the protruding compartments. These corner mountings
of the lid and the protruding compartments underneath are decorated along their inwardpointing rims by cuting out seven semicircles
and piercing two holes behind each semicircle. B
293.4 also has a rectangular keyhole plate and
above it, on the lid, a corresponding rectangular
plate where the handle must have been. On OO
339.11 the thin undecorated bronze sheet is
mounted on the front corners in two groups of
three horizontal strips with three small bronze
nails each; two narrower corner strips were on
the front corners of the lid. In the middle of the
top rim is the keyhole plate. Above it, on the
front of the lid, is a bronze sheet rectangle with
two incised concentric circles between two
bronze eyelets in which the handle hangs. The
omega-shaped handle has bent proiled ends.
On B 26.1, eight bronze sheet corner plates are
placed on the front corners in such a way, that
square ields with concentric circles and ive
decorative nails decorate the front. Also, there
are three pentagonal and four round plates
decorated in relief. The pentagonal ones have a
rosete, which has a frontal human head in its
centre, the round ones a winged Amor standing
to the right under a tree.
B 701.9: Six corner plates connect front and sides:
two on the lid, four on the corners. The inside
edges are notched with alternating triangles and
rectangles; a keyhole-shaped hole is cut behind
each triangle. Top and botom edges of the corner plates are punched with small diagonal
crosses. On the middle of the top edge is the
keyhole plate, decorated in the same way and
356
—
B 701.9
mounted with decorative nails showing frontal
lions’ heads in relief within a beading. On a loose
rectangle to the let is a Christian representation:
the chaste Susanna. On the middle, round plate
a Medusa head with parted hair and a plait in
the middle. Between the top corner plates and
the keyhole plate are two vertical rectangular
plates with Christian representations: on the let,
Daniel in the lions’ den, to the right the raising of
Lazarus. These three rectangular plates are the
oldest known Christian representations in the
Netherlands. They have the common theme
‘God saves from oppression’, a theme discussed
by Van Laarhoven (1992, 20-27) as characteristic
of the earliest Christian iconography of biblical
themes. The Medusa head, from pagan mythology, is conspicuous amidst the Christian representations but can be regarded as apotropaic.
(Neuss 1933, 45-47, who also calls the lions’
heads apotropaic; Buschhausen 1971, 9; ClaußThomassen (1991) treats the famous bronze
sheets from Mainz-Kastel with - far clearer parallels for the Christian imagery on B 701.9.)
Steures (2004a) shows the Nijmegen and MainzKastel parallels together.
Of the other chests, the scheme is not completely
known; corner and decorative plates were used
here too. The following decorative bronze sheets
deserve mention. OO 24.2: rectangle with cut-of
corners and concave sides, along which oblique
punched bows; in concentric circles, a decorative
nail with a thin silver plate on an thin bronze
plate with Medusa head. A fragment of OO
250.18 shows a fragment of a punched round
plate with a Medusa or lion’s head. The facetted
green glass plate OO 250.14 was mounted on an
iron nail and may have been part of chest OO
250.18.
Where contents could be determined, they concern (apart from a coin in OO 339.11) female ornaments, perfumes, dressing accessories, and
repair sets. B 320.1: two bronze rings, a bronze
buckle with incised tongue, a piece of bronze
sheet, a strap end (V-shaped piece of bronze
sheet with two rivets on it), a piece of bronze
wire or bracelet. B 293.4: sewing-needle, silver
pin. B 701.9: glass balsamarium, silver pin, two
fragments of a spiral-shaped bracelet, bone
bracelet. Two other chests without preserved
contents were accompanied by female ornaments: with OO 250.18 necklace, earring, makeup (or jewelry) box and chain of beads; with OO
252.11 bracelets, balsamarium and pin.
Pirling (1974, 92) mentions two chests in one
grave, one of which, near the head, contained
pins, and the other, in the foot end, contained
beads, coins, a bracelet and a key.
The presence of dress accessories suggests that
the chest was used predominantly for the storage of veils and scarves (e.g. OO 250.20 is a piece
of textile found in chest OO 250.18). In all cases
where the contents told something about the
gender of the deceased, ive out of ten chests,
this was a woman. Gáspár (1986, 39), who discusses chests in Pannonia, however warns that
the idea that chests are purely female is untenable.
The position of the chests in the graves was as
follows. Once (B 26.1) above and east of the
head; once (B 293.4) to the let of the head end;
once (OO 339.11) to the right of the head; once (B
701.9) in a large niche to the right of the hip;
once, in a child’s grave (B 320.1), ± 25 cm from
the foot end on or in the coin; twice (OO 24.1,
OO 250.18) in the foot end of the coin, and
three times (B 207.6, OO 103.4, OO 252.11) outside the coin on the foot end; so in six out of
ten cases near the foot end.

For the distribution of the chests, see
Buschhausen (1971) and Böhme (1974, 49-50).
About the chronology of the chests the following
may be remarked. Chest OO 339.11 contained a
coin from AD 332-333 and so was deposited in or
ater those years. Pirling (1966, 126) mentions
three chests from Gellep, to be dated c.AD 300,
IVab and IVB. So they are to be dated to IVAB.
Date: IVAB.
Iron shears: 2 examples
Examples: B 140.2, B 465.23.
Discussion: Shears were found in one male (B 140,
with a hinge ibula with long hinge arms and a
melon bead, both soldiers’ atributes) and one
female burial. Pirling (1966, 210) mentions four
shears from Gellep: one in a male burial, two in
female burials, and one uncertain. Böhme (1974,
126-127) remarks that one-piece shears occur as
oten in Germanic male as in female burials, that
they are oten near the feet of the deceased, and
sometimes near the head or right shoulder. In six
instances it is combined with comb and razor
within a case, which suggests that at least some
of the shears were meant for hair and beard
dressing. Finally, he remarks that they only occur
in rich burials. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 417-8)
points out that shears occur in burials that are
diferent from the usual graves, e.g. as they were
cremations in the middle of inhumations. This
holds for our grave B 140; and the female inhumation B 465 is rich and late, in a time that most
graves did not get grave goods anymore. Their
inal remark, that shears were probably Germanic rather than Roman, its in with the mixed Roman and Germanic nature of the artefacts in B
465, especially the pectoral suggested in the remark to B 465.
Date: IVa-Vb.
Ear-pick: 2 examples
Example: OO stray 52-3
Discussion: Literature on ear-picks may be found
via Cahn/Kaufmann-Heinimann (1984, 122, no.
39). Ear-picks not having been found in regular
excavations in cemetery OO, it is doubtful
whether these object do come from the Late Roman cemetery.
Bronze sewing-needles: 5 examples
Examples: B 293.5 (in wooden chest), B 465.19, B
stray 196b, B stray 254. OO stray 51.
Discussion: The presence of sewing-needle B
293.5 in a wooden chest shows that such chests
could contain, apart from personal ornaments,
also repair sets for textile. This suggests in its
turn that the largest volume of the chests was
used for the storage of clothing. (Böhme (1974,
48) mentions needle-cases with iron sewingneedles with threads atached, in the area to the
right of the Rhine.) The other inds in B 293 date
the grave to IVAB; those in B 465, to AD 434450.
Date: IVa-Vb.
Glass game counters: 2 examples
Examples: OO 12.3, OO 37.5.
Both Nijmegen game counters come from female burials. They are of opaque blue or black
glass, are round, have a more or less lat underside and a latish convex top. These calculi were
used in sets, both in board games (Rieche 1981),
and on wooden abaci or calculating boards. Such
a playing set is known from Gellep, where 24
decorated playing disks in two colour sets were
found, which in view of their number will have
been used in the ludus XII scriptorum (Pirling 1966,
125-126, colour plate B opposite p. 124). Giving a
single calculus, useless for either calculation or
gaming, seems to be a symbolic ritual referring
to chance or fate, which play a great role both in
games and in (early) death. The theme of board
games with this symbolic meaning in graves is
discussed by Vermeule (1979, 80-2) and Junker
(2003, 11 and 36 n. 41). Both graves OO 12 and
OO 37 are dated IVAB by many other inds.
Date: IVAB.

Unique pieces in female burials
Bronze spatula: 1 example
Example: OO 9.15
Discussion: Only one drop-shaped end of a spatula was found.
Iron stilus: 1 example
Example: OO 252.12
Discussion: The complete iron stilus with point
and erasing blade OO 252.12 was found in the
top illing of a lady’s grave. It may be an intrusion, or it may have been thrown in intentionally
as the grave was being illed in. If so, it was a
symbol of the literacy of the lady.
Date: AD 350.
B 620.15
Tambourine sticks: 4 examples from one grave
Example: B 620.15
Discussion: Van Buchem (1958b) already noticed
parallels for our four tambourine sticks from the
sarcophagus of the Grutberg: at Heßloch and
Kaiseraugst. Since then, eight more examples in
the northwestern part of the Empire (between
northern Italy and Nijmegen) from the third and
fourth centuries have become known, all found
in rich graves of girls or young women. They are
discussed by Martin (1991, 51-57) as parallels for
the tambourine sticks of Kaiseraugst grave 814.
These ten examples are: Nijmegen B 620 (this
study; Fasti Arch. 12, 1957, no. 8280; Van Buchem
1958ab; Böhme 1974, 285, Taf. 84,10; Swinkels/
Deckers-Hageman 1997, 31-34; Steures 2003),
Samson grave 9 (Dasnoy 1968, 291), Eprave-
Croix-Rouge (Dasnoy 1968, 300), Vermand’Calvaire’ (Viollier 1911), Villers-sous-Erquerie
(Baudon 1910), Gellep 552 (Pirling 1966, 127-128,
Pl. 52, 1-4), Heßloch grave of 1934 (Biehn 1936),
Koenigshofen (Hat/Thevenin 1968; Hat 1970,
324-6; exhibition catalogue Besançon 1993, 25),
Kaiseraugst 814 (Martin 1991, 51-57, Taf. 52, 1-24)
and San Pietro Incariano (Beschi 1974/75). An
eleventh example was found in Brunssum, some
100 km south of Nijmegen (Bogaers 1966).
The Nijmegen tambourine sticks come from the
grave of a young girl (8-10 years old, or even
younger, dentists say who have seen her teeth in
the museum). The sticks are made from pear or
apple wood, still favourite materials for making
musical instruments such as recorders, because
these materials are easily worked. The following
description is based on the reconstruction drawing by the late J. Ypey; its correctness appeared
from observations by the author on the surviving fragments before two tambourine sticks
were restored by Jo Kempkens in 1998-1999
(Kempkens 1999, 20-20.2). Length 37.3 cm, diameter 3.5 cm. A symmetrically proiled middle
part serves as a handle. Two rectangular apertures, 1.9 x 8.4 cm, have been cut out on both
sides of this handle. Somewhat beyond the middle of each aperture, at 6.3 cm from each end of
the stick, are two heavy bronze bowl-shaped
ratles, their downturned rims directed away
from each other (d 4.2-4.7 cm, h 0.75-0.9 cm) on
a transverse iron rod (l 3.9, d. 0.4 cm) whose
ends have been latened into disks in order to
keep the rod in its place. On both ends of each
aperture are bronze sheet bands, ends overlapping 1 cm, each kept in place by one bronze
nail; width near the handle 1.2 cm, near the ends
1.7 cm. So there are four bands per tambourine
stick. There are 13 fragments of wood preserving
the complete diameter and bound by or showing
impressions of the bronze sheet bands, plus two
fragments showing impressions. So the (minimum) number of tambourine sticks from the
sarcophagus of the Grutberg is four. The number
of preserved ratles, six, i.e. three pairs, is strange, as there must have been eight pairs to four
359
—
tambourine sticks. Thickness and weight of the
jingles (100 grams per pair: Rimmer 1981, 240)
preclude that the missing ones would have corroded away completely: the tambourine sticks
appear to have been destroyed before their remains were put in the foot end of the sarcophagus. This was conirmed by the position of
broken pieces of the sticks, and the position of
one of the bronze sheet bands: near the knees.
There are no indications that the four tambourine sticks would have been connected to one
another; a small piece of textile clings to one of
the bronze bands.
Rimmer (1981, 240) remarks that the Nijmegen
tambourine sticks are heavy and un-childish. It
may be added that they weigh at least 300
grams apiece (100 grams per pair of ratles), so
at least 1200 grams for the four sticks, and that
they can only be handled with ease with one
stick in each hand. The middle part is evidently
meant as the grip. Holding two in one hand
crossways is impractical even for the hand of an
adult. The conclusion seems to be, that two
adults played the instruments at the burial ceremony. The junction into pairs with a short chain
in the case of tambourine sticks found at
Heßloch and Kaiseraugst points in the same direction (and shows how they were handled: vertically or diagonally in two ists, some 10 cm
apart). In view of this, the suggestion of Martin
(1991, 56) that the instruments were put in these
graves because each of the deceased girls liked
to play them accompanying herself during a
dance, may be rejected. Scipio Aemilianus writes
in fragment Malcovati 30: vidi (..) puerum bullatum
(..) cum crotalis saltare, quam saltationem impudicus
servulus honeste saltare non posset. (‘I saw a boy
with a bulla [i.e. son of Roman citizens] dance
with percussion instruments, a dance an impudent slave boy could not do with decency.’)
In view of Scipio’s words it also is to be excluded
that her parents or other family members from
this elite would have handled them. The Copa, a
poem in the Appendix Vergiliana, shows us a female dancer of low esteem playing these
tambourine sticks ad cubitum = to make people
lie down in her brothel-like inn (Steures 2003).
Looking at the Copa vs 3 (lasciva) and vs 33 (with
an ofer of sex) and Scipio Aemilianus’ fragment,
we may well understand what the sound of tambourine sticks alluded to: sex.
In the Nijmegen case, the instruments were destroyed on purpose before being put in the
grave. So they seem to have been made especially for the burial ceremony: hired dancers
would not have allowed them to be destroyed if
they were their own instruments.
All maters considered, the other suggestion of
Martin (1991, 56) seems to be more probable:
that this kind of instrument played a role at a
wedding feast, and that they would have been
put in the graves of the deceased girls to make
good for the wedding they would never have.
This was common practice in antiquity, as with
the statue of Phrasikleia (Boardman 1978, 73),
with loutrophoroi (In ‘t Veld 1991, pace Kurtz/
Boardman 1971, 152), and, in Late Roman cemeteries, possibly diadems (Martin 1991, 23-28).
The subject of the ‘non-atained wedding’ is further discussed by Stefanie Martin-Kilcher (2000).
I do not subscribe to her view (2000, 71) that
such a tambourine stick is meant in Anthologia
Palatina 280, where Timareta dedicates her ball,
her dolls and τύμπαvα to Artemis. A τύμπαvov
is a round instrument, either an all-metal ketledrum or a tambourine with a drum-skin. Moreover, the τύμπαvα in the poem, like the ball and
the doll, are atributes of Timareta’s girl’s age
and therefore dedicated the virgin goddess Artemis.
Date: AD 317-318.
Boar’s tusk: 1 example
Example: B 298.68.
Discussion: NB This and the following paragraphs
on miniature pair of scales and North Sea shells
have been published separately as Steures
(2004b).
B 298 is a female inhumation, as appears from
ten bone pins and a chain of glass beads. It also
contained two ine dark coloured beakers, a
miniature pair of scales, a series of 55 coins and
360
—
a series of North Sea shells.
Böhme (1974, 116-7) enumerates a number of
boars’ tusks from graves between the river Elbe
and the Loire as well as in England without
interpreting them. He does remark that boars’
tusk amulets probably had the same meaning as
boar’s tusks on helmets. The same criticism can
be made of Arends (1978, 149, 152-3, 163), who
studied a number of amulet categories in the
Alamannic area between AD 450 and 700. His
only conclusions are: boar’s tusks igure in medium to poor graves in the sixth and seventh
centuries, as frequent in male as in female graves, and more oten in pockets of the clothing
than as pendants. Three other authors do interpret boar insignia. Beck opens the irst chapter
of his monograph Das Ebersignum im Germanischen
(Beck 1965, 4) by remarking that boar insignia
are related to weapons both in literary tradition
and in pre- and protohistoric inds; that, however, belts, buckles and ibulae refer to the chthonic-vegetative aspect of the boar insignia.
However, he ignores boar’s tusk amulets to the
point of not even mentioning the word Amulet
in his index. Pauli (1975, 129) points in the same
two directions, by stating that boar’s tusks in
Celtic weapon graves refer to power and prowess, and by adding that their more general
meaning appears from their presence in children’s and women’s graves. That meaning might
be growth and fertility: Fingerlin (1981) shows
that lunate amulets made from two boar’s tusks
belong to horse gear of Germanic tribes in both
Early and Late Roman Imperial times. The same
use has been found in the cases of a Roman and
a modern amulet (Hansmann/Kriss-Retenbeck
1977, 133, 245-6, igs. 522 and 542); this use of
the amulets has been related to their lunate
form with its associations of growth (waxing
moon) and fertility (menstruation). A disadvantage of this interpretation is, that such an amulet
will be of no use, once the person who wore it
dies. A possible beter interpretation of the
lunula can be found in Schade (2003, 14-15, Pl.
1.6-7.10, Pl. 2.1): some third-century empresses
had themselves portrayed on coins in a lunula.
She interprets this lunula as the iconographic
parallel of the corona radiata of their husbands.
The imperial couple thus became the bearers of
the lux aeterna, and as Sol and Luna they symbolized the aeternitas domus divinae (the eternity of
the divine house). So a lunula or a boar’s tusk in
a grave possibly means eternal life ater death.
And, of course, a boar’s tusk is a good symbol
for aggression, or, puting it more positively, for
energetic activity.
It is argued below that the mollusks in the shells
from the same grave were eaten at the initiation
dinner of Sabazios worshippers. Boar’s meat is
delicious and Apicius (8,1; 1,1-9; 7,7-8) gives
many recipes. Like the shells and the chestnuts
discussed below, the tusk may be a memento of
this highly symbolic dinner.
Date: AD 317-318.
Miniature bronze pair of scales: 1 example
Example: B 298.69
Discussion: Miniature bronze pair of scales: arm
6.5 cm with central suspension eye, and two
eyes in disks of 0.8 cm at the ends (the central
hole being higher than the side ones); upper side
of arm serrated on one side; the scales, d 2.1 cm,
each have three holes, in one of which a small
leather thong; remains of a leather purse and a
thread on the underside of one of the pans.
The shortness of the arm of the pair of scales excludes the possibility that it is a precision balance: the longer the arm, the more precise the
balance. Moreover, the central suspension hole
must be on the same level as the side holes from
which the scales are hung if the pair of scales is
to be precise.
Steuer (1987, 424) describes the Roman pairs of
scales, of which our example is a rude miniature,
as follows:
“Otmals weisen die Balken auf einer Armhälte,
selten auf beiden, eine skalenartige Einteilung
durch Kerben oder Bohrungen auf, die zum Verschieben eines zusätzlichen Diferentialgewichtes gedacht ist. Eichmöglichkeit und Koppelung der gleicharmigen Waage mit den Vorteilen
der Schnellwaage werden die Ursache für diese
361
—
zusätzliche Ausrüstung sein. (...) Aus der ganzen
Zeitspanne der Römischen Kaiserzeit werden
Waagen in Kastellen und Siedlungen gefunden.
Als Grabbeigabe sind sie aüßerst selten und gehören dann in die spätrömische Zeit.”
The imitation of the serration excludes the possibility that this miniature pair of scales is meant
as a coin balance, even though a series of ityive coins from periods with diferent denominations is present in the same grave. Steuer (1987,
425) writes about the group to which our miniature pair of scales belongs, as follows:
“In der Gegend von Köln und Bonn konzentriert,
mit wenigen Parallellen aus anderen Gebieten,
so in Südengland [and now also in Nijmegen]
indet sich aber als Grabbeigabe während des 3.
und 4. Jahrhunderts eine Art Miniaturwaage. Sie
kommt meist zusammen vor mit Miniaturausführungen von Tieren und Werkzeugen. Diese
Waagen und Werkzeuge als Grabbeigaben sind
mit dem Mithras-Kult in Zusammenhang gebracht worden.”
These groups of so-called Mithraic symbols from
rich female inhumations in Cologne and Bonn
comprise three kinds of objects; in the classiication of Manning (1966, 50): 1. miniature
agricultural tools; 2. animals (lizards, crested
snakes, toads or frogs, once a tortoise, once a
pair of oxen); 3. ‘symbols’ (oxen’s yokes, ladders,
pairs of scales, keys). Cumont (1896, II 525-6)
had already pointed out that these miniatures
have nothing to do with Mithras: only the snake
and the ladder belong to his iconography. Lehner
(1915, 51) agreed. Still, the name ‘Mithraic symbols’ (in parentheses) has stuck (Haberey 1949;
Linfert-Reich 1974; Wamser et al. 2000, 358-9,
cat.no. 87; Kiernan 2009, 195-210).
Steuer (1987, 425-6) continues about the miniature pairs of scales:
“Sie gehören als Grabbeigabe ausschließlich zu
Frauengräbern, so daß u.U. auch die wenigen
Frauengräber mit regulären Feinwaagen in
diesem Zusammenhang gesehen werden müssen. Bei den Miniaturwaagen handelt es sich um
bewußt nachgeahmte Feinwaagen, da bei einigen von Ihnen auch die Kerbenleiste für das ver-
schiebbare Tariergewicht vergröbert mit abgeformt ist. Aufällig ist zudem, daß die Gräber mit
Miniaturgerät, darunter die Waage, meist auch
Münzen enthalten. (...) Die Deutung dieses lokalen, auf die Kölner Gegend beschränkten Kultbrauches ist ofen und hilt vorerst für die Bewertung der Münzwaagen nicht weiter.”
Manning (1966, 53), who publishes the only
group known then of these miniatures with alleged provenance outside Germania Secunda (‘a
tumulus in Sussex’), interprets these miniatures
as objects from the cult of Sabazios, on the basis
of comparison with symbols on a bronze Sabazios hand in London (= Vermaseren 1983, no. 75).
Although Manning is not the irst to call the Cologne miniatures Sabazios symbols, he is the
irst to argue their connection to Sabazios. Haberey (1934, 277), writing on inds in the Late Roman cemetery near the Severinstraße in Cologne, calls them in passing ‘(Sabazios?-)
Symbole’. However, Haberey did not repeat his
suggestion in several publications in which he
reported the ind of such miniatures (Haberey
1949, 1960, 1962) and even once expressly refused to name a god (Haberey 1949, 104).
Sabazios is a Thraco-Phrygian god, known since
the ith century BC, but whose mystery cult became popular in Roman Imperial times. His cult
is mainly known from bronze hands with many
symbols on them. Agricultural tools are all but
absent from the Sabazios hands (apart from a
pruning knife and a shovel: Vermaseren 1983,
nos 3, 15, 69?, 72). Manning’s interpretation of
the agricultural tools is based on two passages
in Diodorus Siculus, 4,4,1 and 3,64,2. Sabazios is
called a second Dionysos there, he has yoked
oxen for the irst time, and he has invented
many useful agricultural tools.
Manning atributes the symbolic meaning of
soul scales to the miniature pairs of scales. In
this, he is in agreement with Lane (1989, 33),
who discusses the pair of scales as a Sabazios
symbol:
“Another frequent symbol, occurring on 27
hands and three plaques, is the pair of scales.
Here it would seem that the obvious

interpretation is that of weighing the worshipper’s merits, or conversely his sins. Perhaps a
large and obvious pair of scales was kept in every Sabazius-sanctuary and used at some point in
the ritual.”
The authors of the corpus of Sabazios monuments (Lane 1980; Vermaseren 1983; Lane 1985;
Lane 1989) refer to neither Manning’s article nor
the Cologne miniatures. But a statistical base for
Manning’s interpretation can be given with the
help of the index to the corpus of the Sabazios
hands (Vermaseren 1983). There are 96 Sabazios
hands in the corpus; 27 of these have on their
backs a representation of a pair of scales and of
animals. Table 13 gives the combination of
representations of pairs of scales with those of
animals on Sabazios-hands, in comparison with
combinations of miniature pairs of scales with
miniature animals, ladders and agricultural tools
in the Cologne female inhumations (the later on
the basis of the table in Manning 1966, 56; stray
inds in the Cologne Niessen Collection have not
been counted (Loeschcke/Willers 1911); loose
balance arms and pans have been counted as
one pair of scales per grave).
Linfert-Reich (1973) discusses the groups of Cologne miniatures as if they consist of agricultural
tools only (and reptiles mentioned in passing).
She suggests that they were meant for working
the Elysean ields in the hereater, and ends with
the sweeping statement:
‘Spekulationen mit dem Mithras- oder Sabazioskult, oder gar unbekannten Kölnischen Sekten
brauchen also für unsere Geräte nicht bemüht zu
werden.’
However, Linfert-Reich ignores much of the evidence and, furthermore, the Elysium has always
been a paradise of meadows where work was
out of the question, whatever the changes in the
ideas on the hereater. Manning is right in suggesting a connection between the Cologne
groups of miniature scales, ladders, agricultural
tools and animals and the Sabazios cult. That
Sabazios was worshipped in Cologne appears
from the ind of a Sabazios hand there (Vermaseren 1983, no. 50).
It seems to be obvious to think of a Cologne variant of the Sabazios cult, because the agricultural
tools are lacking on the Sabazios hands. On the
other hand, it seems to be exaggerated to call it
a sect, because everything in it can be tracked
down to the iconography of and literature on
Sabazios. I subscribe to the interpretation put
forward independently by Manning and Lane:
the Nijmegen miniature pair of scales is to be
interpreted as an instrument to weigh the soul
of the deceased lady and comes from the Cologne variant of the Sabazios cult.
Ater the above had been writen, Mr L. Swinkels
of Museum Het Valkhof, where the inds are kept,
drew my atention to Verhoeven/Ector (1984).
They publish two miniatures, a balance arm and
a yoke, from Veldhoven (some 60 km southwest
of Nijmegen), reach similar conclusions and also
speak of a local Cologne variant of the Sabazios
cult. They suggest a link between the date
around 270-280 for many Cologne miniature
groups and the court of the Gallic emperor Postumus at Cologne (258/9-260), apparently leaning on Haberey (1962, 402). This relation seems
improbable, for the following reasons. The balances are found also in graves of the irst half of
the fourth century (see Table 14 in the section on
North Sea shells below). From their own Table
on p. 147 it appears that the largest and most
famous group of miniatures, from Roden-
363
—
kirchen, dates from the time of Gratian, AD 367383. Moreover, at least two of the graves with
pairs of scales have been brought in relation
with large villae rusticae outside Cologne, not
with an urban elite (Cologne-Lindenthal: Noelke
1984; Rodenkirchen: Haberey 1949, 102). The
miniature agricultural tools are beter understandable in the context of a villa rustica than in
that of an urban court elite. But above all: nothing in Postumus’ propaganda par excellence, the
coins, points in the direction of Sabazios, whereas he honours many other gods, amongst whom
another god with a mystery cult, Serapis (RIC V
II, 328-368, esp. 331).
Mr Maarten Dolmans kindly drew my atention
to the presence of Sabazios miniatures in the
Municipal Museum of Roermond, some 75 km
due south of Nijmegen. They come from a Roman cemetery near Roermond. Nijmegen and
Roermond may now be added to the distribution map of Sabazios miniatures in Verhoeven/
Ector (1984, 140). Their table on p. 147 shows the
date of these miniatures: from Probus (coin of
AD 276-282) to Gratian (coin of AD 370-380).
Kiernan (2009, 195-210) discusses the Cologne
miniatures under the name of the so-called “Mithrassymbole” and sums up the interpretations put
forward: as symbols of Mithras; as weights; as
symbols of Sabazios (“This theory has most recently been adopted by Steures (2004b) in his
discussion of the Nijmegen grave, and is currently the most popular interpretation of the Mithrassymbole.”); a Germanic tradition as magical
amulets and jewellery; as symbols of fertility and
wealth; and some new ideas. In his conclusions
on the Mithrassymbole he writes (p. 210): “These
models are a very speciic and localised type
grave good, not votive oferings. The Mithassymbole themselves have been something of an archaeological puzzle for well over a century, and
there is still no deinitive explanation for them.”
Date: AD 317-318.
North Sea shells: 1 example (several species in one
grave)
Example: B 298.71-73
Pullet carpet-shell (Venerupis pullastra Montagu,
1803; Dutch tapijtschelp; perhaps best known under its Italian name of vongola), 1 fragment of
right valve; cockle (Cerastoderma (Cardium) edule
Linnaeus, 1758; Dutch kokkel), 6 fr of let valve, 5 fr
of right valve, 3 fr undeterminable; 1 common
whelk, incomplete (Buccinum undatum Linnaeus,
1758; German Wellhornschnecke, Dutch wulk).
Discussion: The common whelk, the largest shell
(4-10 cm) to be found on the North Sea beach,
has been found in four or ive female inhumations from Cologne to Nijmegen from the second
half of the third century and the irst half of the
fourth. It is always accompanied by a coin series,
in three cases by a miniature pair of scales, in
one case by other miniatures, and in three cases
by bivalve shells: see Table 14. The Cologne and
Gellep graves are richly provided with grave
goods.

Though the whelk and the molluscs are edible
and as such discussed in many cookery-books
and lists of mollusc merchants, it is never found
as food on a plate. The position in a bag near the
right hand in Cologne, Von Werthstraße grave 6,
and in Nijmegen on the right arm suggests that
the shells were empty when they were put into
the graves and that they were very important to
the deceased ladies. The only practical use whelk
shells ever had for man is their function of horn,
the predecessor of the fog-horn on the North
Sea. This practical use is excluded here as the
whelks still have their apex and therefore no
mouthpiece to blow on (Von Werthstraße,
Lindenthal, Gellep). In view of their appearing
together with miniature pairs of scales and coin
series a symbolic meaning seems to be the most
probable. Three studies on amulets, one general
and two archaeological, give no speciic clues for
North Sea shells (Hansmann/Kriss-Retenbeck
1977, 136; Pauli 1975, 128; Arends 1978 discusses
cowri shells in Alamannic graves).
As the miniature pair of scales in the same Nijmegen grave has above been tentatively interpreted as a soul balance from the mystery cult of
Sabazios in its Cologne variant, a symbolic interpretation of the whelk and the bivalve shells in
the same sphere seems to be the most atractive. The aim of mystery cults was to approach
the divine as near as possible via diferent levels
of initiation (Klot 1999, 8). Every horn-shaped
snail shell with its clearly visible whorls one on
top of the other can be used as a symbol for
these levels of initiation, and most of all the
largest one to be found in this region: the common whelk. In the same vain it is writen on the
website of the Jabikspaad (a Frisian connection to
the pilgrim’s route to Santiago de Compostela,
with a common whelk as logo):
‘In the kabbalah (the Jewish secret doctrine)
the horn-shaped shell is the image of the diferent levels in reality that are connected in the way
of a snail shell. This symbolism can be applied to
the pilgrim as follows: the lowest whorl is the
bodily level. (...) The middle whorl is the moral
level. (...) The topmost whorl is the spiritual level. (...)’ (Translation D.St.)
And the bivalve shells? Mystery cults knew the
obligation for the initiates to keep silent to the
uninitiated. I suggest that the bivalve shells are a
symbol of this clamming up. (Klot 1999, 7. The
365
—
usual etymology of mystery given by Klot, ibid.,
from μύω = to close the eyes, is wrong. If anything,
mystery cults opened the eyes of the initiates, the
highest level of initiation in Eleusis being
έπoπτεία = watching. The associated verb is
μυέω = to initiate.)
As all the molluscs concerned are edible and
Sabazios-worshippers held ritual dinners (Klot
1999, 38 and igure on 39), it seems to be obvious that these molluscs were eaten at the initiation dinner.
Mystery cults ofered their initiates the prospect
of a happy hereater, to the exclusion of the
non-initiated (Klot 1999, 30). In Aristophanes’
Frogs, Dionysos descends into the underworld; in
verses 454-6 a choir of initiates in the underworld sings: ‘for us alone who have been initiated the sun, the holy light shines’. Gluck’s immensely popular Dance of the blessed spirits from
his Orfeo, another (mythical) descent into the underworld, perpetuates this idea. People who believe in this provide their deceased loved ones
with a proof of initiation in order to guarantee
their happiness in the hereater. Both from Dionysiac and Orphic mystery contexts we know of
graves containing gold tablets with texts inscribed that were to serve as initiation certiicate, and as such as a passport giving entry to
the realm of the happy few in the underworld
(Klot 1999, 30-31; Maddoli 1996, 497-8). Applied
to the graves in Cologne, Gellep and Nijmegen:
the position of the shells together with a coin
series near the right hand or arm, and in Gellep
next to the cremation remains, suggests that
each lady believed she needed the shells in her
hand luggage on the journey to the underworld.
The shells, I suggest, as a passport that proved
her initiation, the coins for a long journey or for
another purpose not understood yet.
Date: AD 317-318.
Sweet chestnuts: 1 example
Example: B 298.69b
Discussion: The above interpretations of the miniature scales, the shells and the coins in B 298
were already expounded in Steures (2004ab).
Nothing was known then about a ind of plant
remains in the same grave: the three documentations on which the present ind catalogue of
cemetery B is based do not mention them. As a
small leather thong was mentioned (and drawn
with pencil) in the miniature scales B 298.69, Mr
Ronny Meijers of Museum Het Valkhof had been
asked in September 2002 to have a look at the
scales. He answered that there was no thong remaining, but that he saw impressions of plant
remains and a twined thread on the underside of
one of the scales.
It was not until August 2007, that Prof. C.C.
Bakels in a chance meeting told me that the excavator, Prof. Brunsting, had given her plant remains from B 298; she did not know for sure
what they were but thought of chestnuts. The
same aternoon, she handed me a (cigar) box
containing a slip of paper in the handwriting of
the late Prof. Brunsting. The slip contained a list
of inds of grave LN 88 = B 298, ending with the
words: ‘1 bronze pair of scales. By the proximity
of the bronze, plant remains were preserved’
(transl. D.St.). Two days later, Prof. Bakels had
writen the present Chapter 9, Plant remains in B
298.
The chestnuts were lying against the miniature
pair of scales in its leather purse, so just like the
shells they were not placed onto a plate or dish,
and were most probably not meant as food for
the deceased lady. Anyway, sweet chestnuts
were not popular as food. Apicius (5,2,2) has no
more than one recipe, in which they seem less
important than the lentils they go with, and Athenaios’ Deipnosphistai (2,54c-d) even contest
their edibility.
So what do chestnuts mean in this symbolical
context? Chestnut wood (always sweet chestnut
or Castanea sativa Mill.: the horse-chestnut or Aesculus hippcastaneum L. entered southern Europe
not before the 16th century) was known as
weather, water and soil resistant (Theophrastos,
Historia Plantarum 5,4,2; 5,4,4; 5,7,7) and therefore popular as material for props in vineyards
(Columella 4,33,1-5). Their charcoal was used for
smelting iron ore (Theophr. o.c. 7,9,2). Enough

B 298 The miniature set of scales, the shells and the ornaments in grave B 298 show the deceased to be an eccentric lady
from Cologne, who worshipped Sabazios.
material for symbolism around endurance and
the four elements of air, water, earth and ire.
Conclusion of the last four sections: The miniature
pair of scales is to be interpreted as a soul balance from the mystery cult of Sabazios in its Cologne variant. I suggest that the shells were put
in the grave as a memento of the initiation dinner and as a passport giving access to the happy
part of the hereater. As both scales and shells
have parallels mainly in Cologne, I assume that
the lady in the Nijmegen grave was a Sabaziosworshipper from Cologne, and that the same
holds for the Gellep lady. As opposed to the rich
graves of her fellow worshippers in Cologne and
Gellep, the Nijmegen grave is not conspicuously
richly furnished. The boar’s tusk, without a parallel in this context, is possibly to be interpreted
as a symbol of life ater death and/or energetic
activity.
Priestess’ sceptre: 1 example
Example: B 465.16 (a triple ring) and B 465.18
(bronze-sheet knob with mineralized wood in it).
Discussion: The section on the three identical
bronze-sheet pendants with pole idol (see
above, section Pendants, B 465.25) ended with a
question and its answer:
‘A last question to be considered is: why put
these unique pendants from a men’s world into
the grave of a woman? The only reasonable answer seems to be that the deceased lady was intimately linked with that world in a personal
way, rather than merely being the wife or daughter of a Germanic leader.’
One more object from her grave has to be mentioned here in order to suggest her position in
that men’s world. Near the vanished right hand a
bronze sheet knob illed with wood remains was
found, consisting of a conical upper part closed
with a disk at the top, and a cylindrical lower
part (h 2.2 cm, d top 1.9-2.7 cm, d tube 1.8-2.0
cm; cf. Böhme 1974, Taf. 85, 5). It clearly is the
367
—
decoration of the knob of a staf.
The shape of the small knob with its sharp edge
excludes the possibility that it was a walking
stick. It seems probable that the staf was held
not at the knob, but in the middle part of the
shat. Staves are signs of dignity for priests, high
oicials and rulers. As the later two possibilities
may be safely excluded, I suggest that the deceased lady was a priestess of the idol shown on
the pendants. The triple ring B 465.16 with its
inner diameter of 1.9 cm seems large for a lady’s
inger. It may have been around the sceptre.
The only parallels of wooden sceptres with end
knobs and with metal parts around the middle
known to me come from Britannia, especially
sceptres known in the Gallo-Roman temple in
Wanborough, Surrey: apparently priests’ atributes (O’Connell/Bird 1994, 94-6, Pl. 11, 107-121; cf.
Henig 1984, 136-141, Pl. 62).
The only (male) priest of such a pole idol we
know of is that of the goddess Nerthus = Mother
Earth, mentioned in Tacitus’ Germania 40. This
priest sometimes drove the goddess in a chariot
drawn by cows through many tribal territories.
Something similar happened as late as AD 369372, when the Visigoth king Athanaric had an
idol carried around through the setlements of
the Christianized Goths (Sozomenos hist. eccl.
6,37): such a priestess seems to be possible in
the ith century.
Date: AD 440-450.
Silver agrafe with four hooks and christogram: 1 example
Example: B 690.3.
Discussion: Squarish silver plate, reconstructed l
2.3 cm, with originally four hooks bent downwards and inwards extending from its four corners. The two hooks on the right were partly
(top) or completely (botom) broken of. Its top
surface (h 1.6, w 1.4) has an incised decoration of
a christogram (ligature of X and P) in a rectangle,
in such a position that the christogram stands
when the hooks are on the let and right. It was
found on top of the head, while next to the right
temple there were two silver pins with polyhe-
B 690.3
dral heads. The object has oten been depicted
because of the christogram and got diferent
names: Brunsting 1969, 24 (‘hair ornament’), Van
Es 1972, 202 ig. 47 (‘small bronze plate’),
Noviomagus 1979, 68 ig. 80 (‘silver pin’), Bloemers et al. 1981, 120 (idem), Van Es 1981, 261 ig.
203 (‘small silver plate’), Willems 1990, 84 (‘silver
pin’: new photograph, which clearly shows the
hooks on the let). The object itself got no atention, and the authors did not ask how this staple-like object could be fastened in the hair. The
problem is treated in Steures 2004a and in the
present section of this study.
Four parallels are known: one with a christogram, one whose shape and decoration are similar to B 690.3 but without a christogram, and
two that correspond only in shape.
The parallel with christogram is an unpublished
tin-plated bronze agrafe with four hooks from
Collection C.S. in Munich, which was shown at
the exhibition on Constantine the Great at Trier
in 2007 (Schmidt 2007). It probably comes from
Spain and its date is given as IVA, probably for
typological reasons, because it is compared to
the labarum: double punched square, double
punched circle, christogram in the centre (standing when the hooks are above and below), and
dot-and-circles in the four corners. The later
would then be rudimentary imperial portraits
368
—
(imagines clipeatae), and the double circle a stylized laurel wreath, according to the reconstruction of the labarum by W. Hahn (1999).
The best parallel up to the year 2007 was found
as ind no. 6462 on the botom of a funerary pit,
a closed ind to be dated around AD 350, near
the Roman villa at Montmaurin (Haute-Garonne,
between Toulouse and the Pyrenees). The
excavator, G. Fouet, discusses this silver agrafe à
quatre crochets (‘agrafe with four hooks’) three
times (Fouet 1958, 168 ig. 28; 1963, 285 ig. 5,
289-291; 1969, 184, Pl. XLIX, LVIII). No parallels
are known to him. The decoration on its square
middle part is partly punched, partly incised: in a
cadre of four triangular pairs of horns there is a
circle (d 0.9 cm) divided by a cross. The quadrants have stylized symbols: crescents, possibly
an axe, possibly a star. Fouet shows the striking
similarity of this decoration and that on the reverse of coins of the Volcae Tectosages, who
lived between Toulouse and Narbonne; and that
of a circle divided by a cross on textless altars in
the Pyrenees for a Jupiter-like god, one of which
was found in the same villa (Fouet 1963, 285 ig.
5,6, 290).
Fouet (1963, 292, note 51) considers his agrafe
6462 to be a particular form of the staple-like
dress-hook known as agrafes à double crochet
(double-hooked agrafes), the origin of which
goes back to La Tène III in the irst century BC.
These occurred in the Gallo-Roman culture, e.g.
four times in the same Montmaurin villa. The
double-hooked agrafes have their most frequent
appearance in Merovingian times, esp. in the 7th
century, in an area Fouet describes as ‘from Belgium to Lyon and from Normandy to the Rhine
areas’ (Fouet 1963, 277). Martin (1991, 78), however, thinks that the four-hooked agrafes are the
forerunners of the double-hooked ones.
Schulze-Dörlamm (2002, 137) writes that agrafes
of Late Roman time were only worn by the
provincial Roman population of Gaul, and that
they were used in the early middle ages exclusively by the Romanesque population of the
Merovingian empire.
Her opinion is untenable, as we also know of ex-
amples from the Netherlands, three of which of
unknown date and provenance in Nijmegen
(Roes 1954a, Pl. XIX, 81 and 84 (84 should be 82);
Roes 1954b, 331 ig. 140 botom: Friesland; 332
ig. 141: Domburg). Audin (1955, 158) describes
the distribution area ‘from Frisia to Switzerland
and the area around Lyon’. Gellep grave 1121
contains a brooch mounted on such an agrafe à
double crochet, accompanied by a twined bracelet,
datable IVc - Vab (Pirling 1966, 132, Taf. 91,
23abc). Audin (1955, 158-9) and Jeannet (1957,
151) made the objection that textile and hook of
the agrafe à double crochet would have ruined each
other if someone would have worn it. On the basis of his excavations in Lyon where he found ten
agrafes, Audin (1955, 159) is convinced that they
were used in order to close shrouds.
The two other parallels for the Nijmegen agrafe
with four hooks, from Abbeville female burial 52
and from Yverdon ‘Pré-de-la-Cure’, are depicted
by Schulze-Dörlamm (2002, 139, Abb. 3) ater the
original publications.
In view of the Montmaurin parallel, which is
irmly rooted in southern France, it seems probable that our Nijmegen example has the same
date and provenance. Southern France was
christianized much earlier than the Netherlands:
the Nijmegen lady may have come from that
area. As the christogram was a decoration on an
ornament, it was meant to be seen: the lady proclaimed that she was a Christian. That cannot
have been a problem in the fourth century, in
which all emperors were Christians (originally
even Julian, who got his nickname the Apostate
not for nothing). It is striking that the Nijmegen
and the Montmaurin four-hooked agrafes both
carry religious symbols, but from two very different religions.
In view of the likeness of the Nijmegen agrafe
and its four parallels to the present-day bandage
hooks of thin metal and elastic with which rollerbandages are ixed, it seems likely that they
were applied in order to ix two layers of the
same piece of textile that had been drawn irmly
one over the other: the textile itself ixes the
hook and one will not easily loose it. It is not
369
—
necessary to suppose with Fouet (1963, 278;
1969, 184) that the agrafe was sewn to the edge
of the textile: in that case two hooks would have
been beter replaced by sewing-holes.
In view of the horizontal position of the Nijmegen agrafe three textile objects seem to be possible: bandage, head-shawl and headband.
Bandage can be excluded: one does not leave
pins under a bandage if they have angular heads,
as there were two on the right temple. For the
same reason a head-shawl may be excluded: the
heads of the pins were meant to be seen as ornaments. Remains that the agrafe was used in
order to ix the two ends of a headband on the
front top side of the head (cf. Fouet 1963, 278).
We know of more instances of headbands being
closed there (e.g. Bianchi Bandinelli 1970, 33 ig.
38: Demeter/Kore from Ariccia). So the lady wore
a head dress that was kept in its place with the
two pins, a headband and the agrafe.
The position of the Nijmegen agrafe on the top
front of the head its in with Schulze-Dörlamm’s
supposition that a ith-century example (of
completely diferent shape and decoration) from
Mainz was used in order to close a diadem on
the forehead (2002, 138-140, Abb. 4). The Abbeville agrafe was found on the middle of the
breast: it closed clothes or a shroud. The Munich
agrafe with four hooks and a christogram in vertical position cannot have been meant for a horizontal headband and must have closed a garment in vertical direction, though it is not clear
what kind of garment that was if not a bandage
on the arm.
Date: c.AD 350.
Small textile bag with handle: 1 example
Example: B 185.4-6.
Discussion: The small handbag with a handle B
185.4 was found in a girl’s grave, as appears
from the dimensions of the coin (140x55 cm)
and the presence of bronze bell B 185.1. Three
round links of an iron chain are visible, d 1 cm,
on a heap of two textiles, now carbonized. Textile 1 is folded, c.5x5 cm, and textile 2 consists of
two card-wet bands, l 13 cm and 3.2 cm. It may
have been a small bag with a band handle,
hanging from a chain around the waist.
The presence of textile bags or sacks, now completely vanished, has been supposed in view of
the position of shells, coins and bone pins in B
298. Also in B 298 there were remains of the
leather case of miniature pair of scales B 298.69.
Miniature pantomime mask: 1 example
Example: B 197.6.
Discussion: The main text of the description in
Van Boekel (1987, 798-9) is copied below; notes
and detail description are let out.
“Miniature mask of a woman with high onkos.
The woman has an oval face, a rounded chin, a
prominent curved nose, and full lips. The small
mouth is closed. Eight thick curls frame the
face and a thick curl (or ear-ring?) is visible on
either side of the face near the cheeks. The relief on the woman’s skull is not sharp. Horizontal
bands are rendered by two rounded cavities encircled by ribbons above the hair-roll. The onkos
is devided into two oblong parts with concave
fronts and rounded tops, reminiscent of animal
ears. Two small suspension holes are pierced in
the skull behind the smooth back of the onkos.
The mask’s back is concave.
The mask is completely covered with white
slip on which many small traces of elaborate
painting remain. Green paint is visible on the
front of the onkos. Traces of blue-brown and redbrown paint are found in the concave front of
the let part of the onkos, the let cavity in the
head-dress, and on the lips. The head-dress preserves traces of brown and brown-red paint
(PCC Brown C and Brown/Red B5, respectively.
Yellow-brown paint (near PCC Yellow/Brown A3)
is visible on the forehead and on the face along
the let eye. Traces of brown paint (slightly darker than PCC Brown C6) are seen on the let part
of the hair and head-dress, and on the let protruding lock (or ear-ring).
The mask can be ascribed to the Trier-Süd ceramic centre (...) and is dated to AD IVA by the
ind-circumstances (...). Type I, A.”
Van Boekel (1987, 790) interprets it as the depic-
370
—
tion of a pantomime actor because of the closed
mouth. About its function in the grave she writes
(1987, 790):
“The masks are a Dionysiac-Bacchic symbol
and therefore have an eschatological signiicance, namely, the guarantee that the deceased
will be accepted in the Bacchic thiasos in the Underworld to lead a new, happy existence.”
In 1996, she is more cautious and writes the following caution before the same interpretation:
‘Perhaps a religious meaning may be connected
with these grave inds.’ (Van Boekel 1996, 26).
Her interpretation is supported by a similar one
of the many miniature theatre masks from the
Greek necropolis of the island of Lipari, north of
Sicily, from the fourth and third centuries BC
(Bernabò Brea 1981, 21-5; Bernabò Brea/Cavalier
2001, 19-22).
Date: IVab.
Distaf?: 1 example
Example: OO 12.11.
Discussion: The thin round iron rod with wooden
handle, preserved length 12.8, d 1 cm, from a female burial possibly is a distaf, the stick on
which wool was wound for spinning by hand,
and that was held in the let hand by a righthanded spinner. There are two usual interpretations for the symbolic deposition of distafs in
female inhumations. The irst interpretation, of social standing, is discussed comprehensively by
Elisabeth Trinkl (2000) and succinctly by Van Es
(1981, 212). Trinkl’s most important sentence
goes:
“Vor allem im Sepulkralbereich werden die
Geräte der Wollverarbeitung ein Synonym für
die domina, die zeitlebens ihren Plichten nachkam und alle Agenden im und um das Haus organisierte.”
Van Es discusses an amber distaf in an inhumation at Esch (some 60 km west of Nijmegen) as
an atribute of women of the propertied class:
“Perhaps they managed not only the kitchen
and the larder, but also they supervised textile
production by the female staf. The amber distaf from a Cologne workshop could point in that
direction. It does not look like a real tool, but
rather like a symbol of the dignity of the mistress, just like the rank of the sergeant-major is
underlined by his baton.” (Transl. D.St.)
This use of a wand as the atribute of the matron
as head of the household is indeed mentioned
by Ammianus Marcellinus (14,6,17), who ridicules
the habit of parading the entire household
through the streets of Rome behind the matron
holding a virga, as if she were at the head of an
army.
Generally, no spindle-whorls are found in graves
with distafs: indeed a sign that the distaf is an
atribute of the highest rank within the household.
The second interpretation, a transcendental one, is
expressed by Renate Pirling (1976 = 1994, 85-89)
in an article with the signiicant title Klothos Kunkel (Clotho’s distaf): gagate and amber distafs
would be an allusion to the Parcae, the three
godesses of destiny. Clotho is the one who spins
our life’s thread. Two examples of a terracota
statuete of a woman with distaf are known
from the Netherlands. Van Boekel (1987, 578584) treats them under the heading Women with
distaf/Parcae. The one in the Gallo-Roman temple of Aardenburg atests to use in religious
rites; the other in the Roman villa of Hoogeloon
probably had a role in private domestic worship
(Van Boekel 1987, 580).
These two interpretations do not exclude one
another and so may be applied at the same time.
Date: IVAB.
ATTRIBUTES FOR BOTH GENDERS
Coins: 70 graves, 14 stray, 209 coins
Examples: see coin lists ater Chapter 14.
Discussion: Coins play an important role in dating
the graves and the interpretation of the two
cemeteries. As there are many diferent aspects,
they are discussed in diferent chapters of this
study. In Chapter 3, Explanatory notes to the ind
catalogue, in the section titled First and second-century coins and ibulae: intrusions? (p. 12), it is argued
371
—
that early coins (and ibulae) were put into the
graves intentionally; in the section titled Assessing the dates of the graves in real years (p. 12-15), the
way the coin periods were used for fairly exact
dates is discussed. In Chapter 12, Typology of dress
accessories, the two eighth-century sceatas are
discussed in the section on Beads because of the
association of one of them with eighth-century
beads in grave B 661 (p. 307). Finally, coin periods and mints are discussed in Chapter 14, Interpretation, in the section titled Chronology - The beginning.
Ater the inal chapter, there are three coin lists:
Coin list 1: per grave in the order of the grave
numbers;
Coin list 2: per grave in the order of their latest
coins;
Coin list 3: per coin ater its latest minting date.
Metal belt sets in diferent variants: 43 examples
Examples: listed below with each variant.
General discussion: In his monograph on belts and
their metal mountings of the fourth and ith
century AD in the Roman Empire, Sommer
(1984, 4) presents a classiication in two series.
In series 1, buckle and strap end are the outmost
ends of the belt. In series 2, independent metal
mountings form the outmost ends: small ribbed
tubes (Astragaltüllen) and/or endplates; in that
series, the buckle is mounted separately at some
distance or made part of the endplate, while the
strap end is mounted on a narrower elongation
belt, which is riveted onto the main belt.
The terminology used below is: buckle frame (the
curved part of the buckle, through which the belt
is led), tongue (the movable pin that goes
through a hole in the belt) and plate (the metal
piece riveted to the belt; it may be connected to
the buckle frame by means of a hinge, or may be
ixed, i.e. cast in one piece with the buckle
frame). If, on the other hand, the belt is riveted
back to itself, it passes around a rod.
First-century soldier’s buckle: 1 example
Example: OO 66.2.
Discussion: The shape of the fragmentary buckle
OO 66.2, which consists of a rod and a peltashaped bow, is known from irst-century fortress
contexts (Bishop/Coulston 1993, 97, ig. 59,15;
Bishop/Coulston 2006, 108, ig. 62). It also occurs, however, in fourth-century Spain (Sommer
1984, Pl. 14,7), so it cannot be dated with certainty.
Date: I-IV.
Buckle Sommer 1A with bag-shaped plate in variants a
and c: 7 examples
Examples: Sommer 1Aa (with round D-shaped or
oval bow): B 654.2, OO 242.5, OO 283.3 (silver),
OO 368.1. Sommer 1Ac (with two animal heads
biting inwards on the bow): OO 373.2a (1Ac3,
dolphins’ or ducks’ heads), OO 402.1 (1Ac1, lion’s
head, degenerated here to ribs). Deviating: OO
29.2a with two rudimentary animals’ heads biting outwards.
Discussion: Sommer (1984) discusses the buckles
with bag-shaped plate on p. 18-21 and depicts
them on Pl. 1, nos 1, 4 and 7. He classiies them
with his chronological group 1 (Sommer 1984,
59), which he dates, for northern Gaul and the
Rhine area, between AD 310 and the ities of the
fourth century (Sommer 1984, 76, 79). The variant represented by OO 29.2a, with bag-shaped
plate combined with two rudimentary animals’
heads on the buckle frame biting outwards, does
not occur in Sommer’s group 1, and inds a parallel for the heads in Sommer’s series 2, variant
1c, dated AD 407-450. The coins found in grave
OO 29 show that it indeed comes from the years
in between: the latest coin is of Valentinian II
(378-383). OO 29.2a is therefore to be dated to
IVd.
Date: Sommer 1Aa and 1Ac: AD 310-360; OO
29.2a: IVd.
Buckle Sommer 1Cb, with rectangular plate and saddleshaped to oval bow: 6 examples
Examples: 1Cb1 with smooth buckle frame ends: B
14.3, B 14.4, B 132.2, B 167.1, OO 271.5; 1Cb4 with
richly decorated plate: OO 366.1.
Discussion: Sommer (1984) discusses these buckles on p. 22-23 and depicts them on Pl. 2,6 and
372
—
Pl. 3,4-6, repsectively. He classiies 1Cb1 with his
chronological group 1 (Sommer 1984, 59), which
he dates, for northern Gaul and the Rhine area,
between AD 310 and the ities of the fourth century (Sommer 1984, 76, 79). On p. 62 he classiies
1Cb4 with his chronological group 2, dated AD
364/70-407/8 for northern Gaul and the Rhine
area.
Date: Sommer 1Cb1: AD 310-360; Sommer 1Cb4:
AD 364-408.
Buckle Sommer 2B, with open-work fence-like plate: 1
example
Example: B 723.6.
Discussion: Sommer (1984, 34) classiies these
buckles in variants a-f, characterized by decorations; these are not present on B 723.6. He puts
three of these in his chronological group 1 (Sommer 1984, 59), which he dates, for northern Gaul
and the Rhine area, between AD 310 and the ifties of the fourth century (Sommer 1984, 76, 79).
Date: AD 310-360.
Belt set Sommer series 2, variant 1, shape c: 1 example.
Example: B 61.1.
Discussion: This belt set, corresponding to Ypey’s
BB1 (Ypey 1969, 113-114, ig. 18), is described in
detail in the ind catalogue. Ypey remarks on his
distribution map (ig. 21), that his series B with
loose buckle (as opposed to his series A, in which
the buckle is part of the endplate) does not occur
in the Danube area (cf. Sommer 1984, 110, map
7). Ypey (1969, 94) connects his type A with the
campaigns against the Quadi beyond the Danube of the years 373-380, in which many Frankish soldiers from northern Gaul took part. He
concludes (Ypey 1969, 114) that belts of his series
B did not yet exist at the time of those campaigns and therefore date ater 375. Both his
types A and B, he supposes, originated in northern Gaul and the Rhine area.
Böhme 1974 (61-62, 285-286, 361; Pl. 84, 11-18)
classiies this belt set with his type Vieuxville,
which sometimes has three but usually two end
plates with ribbed tubes (Astragalröhre) slipped
onto them. On p. 155, he classiies his type
Vieuxville with his phase II, c.AD 380-420. In a
discussion on the problem, which Germanic
groups (laeti established in the Empire or foederati
crossing the border) had decisive inluence on
the material culture of the Roman area north of
the Loire, Böhme (1974, 205) rejects the laeti on
the grounds of chronology and status, and considers among others the Nijmegen grave with
this belt set that of a Roman oicer of Germanic
origin. He suggests calling them foederati. In
1997, Böhme retracted this opinion: see below.
Sommer (1984, 7-9) classiies belts with narrow
end plates, on which ribbed tubes (Astragalröhre)
have been slipped, with his series 2, variant 1,
shape c, which his distribution map 7 (Sommer
1984, 110) shows to occur in northern Gaul, the
Rhine area, and the north-west of Germania Libera. He does not date this series of belts as a
whole (apart from the caption of his distribution
map: chronological group 3); instead, he discusses buckle and strap end separately, and puts
them in chronological groups, which he subsequently dates. The endplates with Astragaltüllen
are, curiously enough, not further discussed. The
buckle with animals’ heads biting outward (rudimentarily present on our buckle) and the short
ixed plate is Sommer’s shape 3, type f, apparently variant Haillot (although the characteristic
punched decoration is absent here; Sommer
1984, 39-40, 132, Pl. 17, 3-5). This kind of buckle is
in his chronological group 3, which Sommer dates
AD 407-450 (Sommer 1984, 65, 78-79). The strap
end belongs to Sommer’s shape B, type c, variant
2 (Sommer 1984, 49-53, Pl. 21, 1-6): amphorashaped, no indication of handles, no end decoration; this is also in his chronological group 3, dated 407-450 (Sommer 1984, 65, 78-79).
A more precise date for the Nijmegen belt set can
be derived from the reuse of two pieces, which
show cut-out (Kerbschnit) decoration on their
back sides, which were invisible when the belt
was worn: one of the endplates and one of the
middle-sized belt stifeners. Ypey (1969, 114) remarks, that both pieces apparently were part of
earlier belt sets and used as repair pieces in a
time when Kerbschnit was no longer in fashion. I
373
—
therefore propose to date the Nijmegen belt set
to Vb.
On the use of belt sets of his series 2, variant 1,
Sommer’s conclusion on p. 86 is negative: it cannot be assigned to a formal uniform corresponding to an oicial Roman dress code. So it is not
possible to identify it with the cingulum militiae
known from ancient literature. Nevertheless,
four tables of sites (e.g. Table 3 on p. 90: series 2,
variant 1c) lead him to the conclusion that these
belts were worn by frontier soldiers; which kind,
is again impossible to say. But also barbarians
wore this kind of belts: in 12 graves (=34%) with
such belts barbarian atributes like comb, shears,
tweezers and lint-and-steel were found; 43
graves between Elbe and Rhine, apparently of
Germanic soldiers returned home ater Roman
service, contain this belt set (Sommer 1984, 101,
notes 108 and 114).
On the place of manufacture, inally, Sommer
(1984, 103) remarks that his map 7 on p. 110
shows that they were made in the provinces Germania II and Gallia II.
Böhme (1997, 101) retracts his 1974 opinion: he
now rejects the name of foederati, and says that
‘most such grave inds’ in northern Gaul can be
explained by the presence of Germanic peoples
connected with military contingents and by
groups of followers of headmen from the right
bank of the Rhine, which came into Roman service and were completely integrated in the imperial army. ‘So these new troups were oicial Roman soldiers known as auxilia, not independent
free groups of warriors acting independently.’
Date: Vab.
Belt stifeners: 3 examples
Examples: B 180.4 (buterly-shaped), B 714.1
(propellor-shaped), OO 29.2ef (iron strips).
Discussion: Belt stifeners, both propellor-shaped
and strips, belong to Sommer’s belts of series 1,
variant 3 (Sommer 1984, 5-6). Sommer gives no
date, apart from a depiction on the Arch of Constantine (AD 315) and a grave in Russia (c.AD
340). Grave B 180 is a female inhumation, as appears from a bracelet and a bead, and to be dat-
ed AD 316-318, as appears from two coins of the
years 303-305 and 316-317. Iron belt sets like the
strips OO 29.2ef are of barbaric origin, according
to Sommer (1984, 101). Fingerlin (2002) discusses
many propellor-shaped belt stifeners.
Date: IVab.
Strap ends of diferent shapes: 3 or 4 examples
Examples: B 143.6?, B 320.5, OO 29.2b (Sommer
shape D type a), OO 248.2.
Discussion: B 143.6 (bronze sheet with 2 rivets;
small tube), found at the height of the waist,
may be a belt stifener and a strap end; no parallels known. B 320.5 is a bent strip of bronze with
two rivets, found, together with a buckle whose
plate is not preserved, in a girl’s grave, which
also contained a wooden chest. OO 248.2 is a
smooth lancet-shaped thin piece of bronze
without rivets or holes, vaguely resembling amphora-shaped strap ends. Only OO 29.2b belongs to a well-deined type: Sommer shape D
type a (Sommer 1984, 55, Pl. 23,2-3), a strap end
folded from bronze sheet with a tube-shaped
fold, richly decorated with niello-illed engravings. Sommer (1984, 63) puts it in his chronological group 2, dated AD 364/70-407/8 for northern Gaul and the Rhine area. The strap end
was found with a large iron buckle and two iron
belt stifeners, showing the grave to be Germanic (cf. Sommer 1984, 101). The latest coin in grave
OO 29 is of Valentinian II (378-383).
Date: IVC.
Two rings against each other (belt fastening?): 2 or 4
examples
Examples: B 180.7, B 320.2?, B 465.22, B 687.5?.
Discussion: Three inds come from female inhumations. B 465.22 consists of a bronze and an
iron ring against each other and was lying to the
right of the hip. B 180.7 was lying in an unknown
position and consists of a larger iron and a
smaller bronze ring. These are possibly fastenings for textile belts (belt end passed through
both rings and passed back between the two
rings). Parallels from late antiquity are, however,
unknown to me.
374
—
Another possible belt fastening of this type is B
320.2: two rings in a wooden chest that contained other clothing accessories. The same may
hold for the two rings B 687.5, found near the
feet; they might be the fastening of a belt lying
at the feet. Alternatively, these may have been
rings that connected the straps of a leather belt.
Date: IVa-Vb.
Iron buckles: 6 examples
Examples: B 140.3 (female, barbarian), B 180.5 (female), OO 29.2d (male), OO 60.2 (unknown), OO
338.1 (unknown), OO 361.5 (unknown).
Discussion: Sommer (1984, 101) calls iron belt sets
barbarian. This is true for female grave B 140, in
which shears were also found. There are, however, no other barbarian atributes in female inhumation B 180, with coins of AD 303-5 and
316-7. The IVC belt set from grave OO 29 has
been discussed above, in the section Strap ends.
The large oval buckle from grave OO 60 is dated
to IVAB by the presence of a beaker Symonds 61.
The D-shaped buckle from grave OO 338 is accompanied by coins dated AD 330-ater 340. The
buckle from OO 361 dates to IVab, as appears
from the potery found with it.
Date: IVabc.
gether with a small iron axe (Siegmund 1999
type FBA 2.3, AD 400-440). B 54.6 is a bronze
ring, which had an iron tongue before it was restored; it was lying in a niche to the let of the
waist and is dated IVab by potery. B 320.3, the
shape of whose plate cannot be reconstructed,
was in a wooden chest in a girl’s grave and was
dated IVab by potery. Bronze buckle B 465.17
with oval plate was lying to the right of the waist
in the grave of a priestess dated AD 434-450. It is
to be dated to mid V (M. Erdrich, pers.comm.;
parallel in Rhenen grave 356, dated to VB:
Böhme 1974, 39, 268, Taf. 60). B 704.10 is a fragmentary buckle, lying to the right of the head
outside the coin together with seven bronze
rings; the high status of this grave appears from
the plank-built chamber and a wooden bucket.
OO 30.4 is a bronze (buckle?) mounting: strip,
ends riveted together; it is dated by potery to
IVab. OO 26.6 is lost; it was a bronze buckle, to
the let of the feet; the grave, containing coins
from AD 260-70, is dated by IVab potery. Finally,
OO 347.1 is a D-shaped buckle frame with
carelessly incised decoration and an iron tongue,
found in the middle of a grave otherwise without artefacts.
Small rectangular bronze buckles: 2 examples
Examples: OO 287.2 (to the right of the feet, in the
coin), OO 371.1 (to the let of the waist).
Discussion: The buckle near the right foot in OO
287 may belong to a separately deposited belt; it
is dated by a Gellep 105 (IIId-IVB). The belt in OO
371 was accompanied by coins dating AD 330-341
and is therefore to be dated to IVB. There are no
good parallels in Sommer (1984): those on Pls.
13-15 are clearly larger.
Date: IVB.
Belt pendant: 1 example
Example: OO 373.2b.
Discussion: No exact parallel is known to me for
this folded strip-shaped strap end with dot-andcircles, one of which camoulages a rivet. Shape
and decoration are reminiscent of two pendants
from Liebenau grave II/230 (Böhme 1974, Pl. 29,
5-6), discussed at length by Werner (1964) as
Donar amulets. It is dated by an accompanying
buckle of type Sommer 1Ac3 with ducks’ heads
and a Gellep 109 dated IVab.
Date: AD 310-360.
Remaining buckles: 9 examples
Examples: B 54.6, B 143.5, B 180.6, B 320.3, B
465.17, B 704.10, OO 26.6, OO 30.4, OO 347.1.
Discussion: B 143.5 is a D-shaped buckle of which
no plate is preserved; it was lying to the right of
the waist outside the coin in a boy’s grave to-
Iron knives: 17 examples
Examples: B 59.8, B 140.1, B 143.7, B 180.10?, B
465.20, B 481.4, B 659.1, B 687.4, OO 101.9, OO
101.10, OO 144.9, OO 200.9, OO 271.6, OO 290.8,
OO 366.2, OO 433.4, OO 478.5.
Discussion: Pirling (1966, 123-4) lists iteen iron
375
—
knives from Gellep (three in male, three in female burials, the rest not to be determined),
most of them with short and wide triangular
blades, to be considered miniature models of
butchers’ knives or sacriicial knives. She dates
them throughout IV. Pirling (1974, 91) adds nine
new examples (one in a male, one in a female
burial). Again, triangular blades are predominant, with long handles, she now adds. She
dates three knives to IVB, and one to IVcd.
Pirling (1979, 67-8) has two new knives, one dated IVab, one IVB. Böhme (1974, 128-30) mentions many diferent types of iron knives between Elbe and Loire. The Nijmegen types with
lancet-shaped blades occur mainly in northwest
Germany and northern France (the later in female burials). The distribution according to gender in Nijmegen is: three male burials (B 143, OO
271, OO 366), four female (B 59, B 140, B 465, B
180), eight not to be determined.
It is diicult to recognize a patern in the positions of the iron knives in the Nijmegen graves.
Two were lying near the let hand: B 465.20
(priestess), B 687.4. Near the upper legs: OO
366.2. In the middle of the grave: OO 433.4. In
the foot end: B 481.4, OO 271.6 (male). Apart
from other inds in a cremation: B 140.1. To the
right outside the coin: B 143.7. In a niche: OO
101.9 (at the hight of the waist, not known right
or let, in a terra sigillata bowl which also contained bone remains). To the let of the head: OO
290.8. In an unknown position: B 659.1, B 59.8, B
180.10, OO 478.5. The patern seems to be:
hanging from a belt or with a burial meal.
The shapes of the knives are as follows. All
blades end in a point; 16 out of 17 have two convex sides, asymmetrical in four cases, symmetrical in eight (and one unknown: B 180.10 possibly
is the point of a blade). They cluster in three
widths: wide, medium and narrow. A wide blade
(ratio length:width = 1.9-2.4) have OO 290.8, OO
271.6, OO 433.4 and B 687.4. A medium blade
(ratio l:w = 2.8-3.1) have B 481.4, B 143.7, B 659.1
and OO 366.2. A narrow blade (ratio
length:width = 3.8-4.6) have B 140.1, B 59.8, B
465.20 and OO 101.9. OO 478.5 has a completely
diferent shape, with a convex cuting edge and
a concave back.
No correlation can be found between position in
the grave, (a)symmetry and width of blade. The
question whether the four forms served diferent purposes must remain open.
Date: IVa-Vb.

ind number per grave)
Examples: B 59.11 (sole), B 59.12 (sole), B 183.7

323.1, OO 339.9, OO 371.5 (leather remains near
the let foot), OO 382.9 (leather remains with
small iron hobnails).
Discussion: In the fourth century, shoes with hobnails form a minority, so the absence of hobnails
does not necessarily imply absence of shoes (Dr
C. van Driel-Murray, pers. comm.).
One male burial (OO 283) and ive female ones
(B 59, B 198, OO 217, OO 339, OO 382) have
shoes; the gender in the eight other graves could
not be determined. During the excavations, the
patern of the hobnails was never ixed by
means of plaster or synthetic material. The pattern has been preserved in B 316.1: according to
Groenman-Van Waateringe a marginal row
along the entire sole, under the forefoot a second marginal row, a lozenge and three straight
rows, under the heel two long rows and a short
one.
The positions in which the shoe remains were
found are as follows. We do not know it in four
cases (B 198.3, OO 3.1, OO 206.1, OO 283.5). The
deceased may have had the shoes on in two cases, although both are uncertain: B 183.7 (near the
feet, in the coin) and B 59.11 and 10 (B 59.11
near let foot, B 59.12 near right foot). In two
cases they were lying between the feet (OO
207.14 and OO 290.9a-b). In one case there were
leather remains near the let foot (OO 371.5). In
the last three cases the shoes were not near the
376
—
feet: in or on a wooden chest (OO 339.9), in a
large coarse pot Gellep 105 (OO 63.5) and under
the coin (B 316.1). So we know that the deceased did not have his shoes on in ive out of
eight known cases, and it may be six out of seven.
Philpot (1991, 167) remarks that in Britannia
there are few graves with hobnails in the civitas
capitals and many in the country, where apparently the rite concerned occurred more oten.
Further, that it appears from a large series of
inhumations in Lankhills in the period AD 310410, that the shoes were not put near the feet in
the beginning of IV, and that they were usually
worn or put near the feet later on. On p. 173 he
remarks that some have interpreted the presence of shoes that were not worn by the deceased as an expression of the belief that the
deceased needed the shoes in the hereater,
probably even for the journey to the underworld
(Cf. Driel-Murray 1999, 2001 and 2002). Philpot
himself prefers the idea that the grave was seen
as a room the deceased lived in.
Date: IVab.
Decorative nails and rivets: 9 examples
Examples: B 198.2 (two bronze rivets), B 364.2
(bronze decorative nail), B 496.1 (bronze rivet),
OO 9.17 (bronze decorative nail), OO 144.10 (iron
rivet with Medusa head), OO 168.12 (bronze split
pin), OO 207.13 (small bronze rivet with shat),
OO 302.2 (bronze rivet).
Discussion: There is considerable variation in decorative nails and rivets not associated with
wooden chests: iron nails about which nothing is
known (OO 339.9); simple decorative bronze
nails with lat-convex head (B 496.1) or convexconcave head (OO 9.17); a bronze rivet with hollow proiled plate and square shat (OO 302.2); a
bronze ring with a split pin on it (OO 168.12,
function unknown). Of three decorated nails, B
364.2 has a round proiled head and a square
shat, and the other two have a lat head with
igurative decoration in a diferent metal. The
bronze OO 207.13 with gold foil on it has a rosete within a proiled rim. The iron OO 144.2 has
a bronze plate with raised rim and in the centre a
Medusa head with globules to represent the hair
(there is also a Medusa head on wooden chest in
B 701).
Date: IVAB.
Unique pieces
Bronze heart-shaped pendant: 1 example
Example: OO 19.2.
Discussion: The pendant, w 5.7, h 5.3 cm, with a
proiled knob at its lower end and at its top a
suspension strip that curves back to a hole in the
middle where it forms a fastening by means of a
rivet with curled end. This is a piece of horse
gear. Pendants of this type occur on the same
terrain of the Hunerberg in Flavian pits in the canabae (cf. e.g. Bishop/Coulston 1993, 106, ig.
65,2). It must be remarked that this grave only
contained unique pieces: a crucible-shaped
beaker further unknown in Nijmegen but
present in Gellep (Gellep 496); and a small lead
disk, possibly a spindle-whorl. So the pendant
may have been put intentionally in the grave
rather than being intrusive in the illing.
Date: IC.
Bronze basin: 1 example
Small hemispherical basin with rounded base, h
4.3-4.7; d 15.5. The rim is thickened and rounded
on the inside of the vessel. The basin has concentric grooves from spinning on the lathe inside
and out. Only the inside of the vessel is tinned.
Soldered on the outside, 1.5 cm below the rim, is
a lozenge-shaped escutcheon with an eye on the
top, on which a ring ( 2) is hanging.
Example: B 181.4.
Discussion: Photograph by J. Cloosterman, 21
March 1978; Daalen et al. 2005, 31) in the right
hand of its inder J.R.A.M. Thijssen. A silver bowl
of about the same shape and dimensions occurs
in Gellep grave 932 (Pirling 1966, catalogue 112
and Pl. 77, 2ab). Pirling (1966, 127) suggests it
was meant for cult use. Pirling (1974, 80) mentions a bronze plate, fashioned from the base of
377
—
a larger vessel and dates it IVB. The other inds
in B 181 date that grave to IVAB.
Barate et al. (1984, 119-122, with further literature) publishes a silvered pewter basin of similar
form and somewhat larger dimensions in
Chalon-sur-Saône, bearing a Christian inscription, and points out the popularity of the shape
in potery, glass and metal in IV and Va. Decorations on the shape may be pagan, secular or
Christian, and a secular use of the Chalon basin,
despite its Christian inscription, is quite possible.
Date: IVAB.
Stone spindle whorl: 1 example, lost
Example: B stray 255.
Discussion: No data.
Cameo: 1 example
Example: B stray 144.
Discussion: Female head with diadem. Daniëls
(1955, 252) refers to Verslag 1922, 10, no. 34c. No
further data.
Lamps: 3 examples
Examples: B stray 55, B stray 241, OO stray 38.
Discussion: B stray 55 is a lamp with two spouts
and one handle of white potery with a brownish
black coating, h 5, w 7. Cf. Menzel 1969, nos.
485-7. B stray 241 is a lamp Loeschcke IV with
volutes on the sides of the spout. Anchor and
dolphins on its mirror could be interpreted in a
Christian sense, but this is improbable. OO stray
38 is an open lamp Loeschcke XIB, dated by to
I-III. Pirling/Siepen (2006, 407-8) mentions ive
such lamps from Gellep, dated to II. They were
used to burn tallow or wax.
Lead lamp: 1 example
Example: B stray 259.
Discussion: Lead open lamp. No further data.
Bronze statuete: 1 example
Statuete of Hercules mingens
Example: OO stray 46
Discussion: The statuete was published in Zadoks/Peters/Witeveen 1973, 10, no. 10.
Organic
Wooden plank: 2 examples
Example: B 410.4, B 829.2.
Discussion: No data.
Textile remains: 15 examples (plus textile handbag
B 185.4 treated above)
Examples: on B 61.2, on B 162.1, B 185.3, many
scraps in B 465 and B 620, OO 26.9, OO 29.11,
OO 242.8, OO 250.20 (not analysed), OO 271.10
(on buckle), OO 362.7, OO 366.3, OO 366.4 (on
knife), OO 371.5, OO 400.5, OO 402.2, OO 433.5.
Discussion: The condition of the textiles is poor.
The fragments are very britle and are semi-carbonized.
The objects are of interest because they represent various types of weaves and give an indication of the type of textile technology to be found
in the region at this time. There is no indication
that these textiles were imported pieces (type of
ibre, spin, weave, and so forth). Based on the
inds from other contemporary and near-contemporary Roman sites, it is clear that these
pieces are representative parts of the textile horizon of this area and date.
The oldest ind, B 620 (the sarcophagus of the
Grutberg), was studied at the ROB in the sixties,
most probably by J. Ypey. That description
comes irst. Three have been studied by G.M.
Vogelsang-Eastwood; her report follows ater
that on B 620. The other ones have not been
studied.
B 620
One textile remain clings to bracelet B 620.7,
three to bracelet B 620.9, called here B 620.9a-c;
one to tutulus ibula B 620.14; one to a bronze
sheet band of one of the tambourine sticks B
620.15.
B 620.7: Fibre: vegetable (lax?). Size: not noted
down; very small. Spin: z/z. Twist: not noted
down. Count: c.16 in the presumed warp, c.11 in
the presumed wet. Weave: tabby. Use: no indication.
B 620.9a: Fibre: unknown. Size: not noted down;
very small. Spin: z/z? Twist: not noted down.
378
—
Count: c.20 in the presumed warp, c.25 in the
presumed wet. Weave: tabby. Use: no indication.
B 620.9bc: Presumably the same length of cloth.
Fibre: unknown. Size: not noted down, very
small. Spin: z/z. Twist: not noted down. Count:
c.11 in the presumed warp, c.13 in the presumed
wet. Weave: tabby. Use: no indication.
B 620.14: Three layers of presumably the same
length of cloth. Fibre: vegetable, presumably
lax. Size: not noted down, very small. Spin: s/s.
Twist: unknown. Count: c.24 in the presumed
warp, 26-30 in the presumed wet; one of the
fragments has c.16 thicker threads in the presumed warp, c.24 iner threads in the presumed
wet. Weave: tabby; one of the fragments shows
doubling of the presumed warp and was presumably part of the selvedge. Use: no indication.
B 620.15: Fibre: unknown. Size: not noted down,
very small. Spin: s/s. Twist: not noted down.
Count: c.10 in the presumed warp, c.8 in the presumed wet. Weave: tabby. Use: no indication.
B 185.3
The only facts noted down are as follows. Size:
pieces of 0.4-0.6 cm. Weave: twill.
OO 366.3
The ind is made up of two textiles, the irst textile (a) is a large fragment made up of several
layers of cloth. The second textile (b) is somewhat smaller and was apparently resting on the
irst piece. It would appear that they are from
the same length of cloth. The cloth is now carbonized. There are areas of green on the material which would appear to be a copper deposit
from another object, rather than indicating the
use of a dye or pigment.
Fibre: animal?. Size: (a) 7.7 x 3.5 (b) 3.8 x 2.3 cm.
Spin: z/z (some paired threads, this may relect a
weaving fault rather than the deliberate use of
paired threads). Twist: medium/medium. Count:
24 in the presumed warp; 16 in the presumed
wet. Weave: 1/2 twill (it should be noted that no
selvedges are present so it is not clear whether it
is actually a 1/2 or a 2/1 twill. Nevertheless, the
presence of plied threads in one direction indicates that this was the wet, and thus a 1/2 twill
form. In one area of the web there is evidence of
the use of thicker thread (S,3?z) which appears to
turn back on itself. However, due to the poor
condition of the cloth at this point, this detail is
not clear. Use: There is no indication of how this
cloth may have originally been used.
OO 366.4
This ind is made up of a single textile which is
now a light brown in colour. There is no indication of any colour or decoration. The size of the
object makes it very diicult to draw any conclusions about the nature of this ind.
Fibre: animal? Size: 2.0 x 1.8 cm. Spin: z/z. Twist:
loose. Count: c.12 in the presumed warp; 22 in
the presumed wet. Weave: wet(?)-faced tabby
weave. Use: There is no indication of how this
cloth may have originally been used.
Animal bones, not on plates: 2 examples
Examples: B 182.9 (two bones, chicken?), B 497.
intr. (bone frgms, cow?); B 497.intr. (sheep/goat).
Discussion: B 182 is a cremation grave, in which
there is a demonstrable earlier intrusion: B 182.
intr. is a wall fragment of a irst-century Belgian
beaker. The animal bones B 182.9 may therefore
be an intrusion as well. The bones in B 497 were
in unknown position, so probably they too are
an intrusion in the illing of the grave.
Cow’s molar: 3 examples
Examples: B 504.intr., B 505.1, OO 319.2.
Discussion: The only interpretation in ancient literature of teeth as amulets is found in Pliny NH
28, 257/8 and Julian Or. 7, 206. They tell that
teeth of horse and wolf were used as an amulet
for small children in order to alleviate the eruption of their teeth (RAC sv Amulet A VII). This
seems a strange meaning for an amulet in a
grave. Moreover, grave B 505 measures 200 cm,
B 504 155 cm. Their interpretation must remain
open, if they are not intrusions.
Deteriorated organic remains: 2 examples
Examples: OO 242.5a, OO 373.2.
Discussion: OO 242.5a is made up of four larger
and several small lumps of carbonized organic
379
—
material. On one piece there are traces of what
appears to be a weave, but under a microscope,
it would appear that it is an organic material
which has deteriorated in narrow strips (leather?).
Leather remains: 4 examples
Examples: OO 12.12, OO 271.9, OO 366.1a, OO
381.1?.
Discussion: No data.
Shapeless metal
Shapeless lead: 8 examples
Examples: OO 19.3 (small lat round lead disk), OO
122.2 (lead, no data), OO 195.5 (lead, lat piece),
OO 223.2 (puddle of lead), OO 249.4 (folded lead
strip), OO 249.5 (strip), OO 271.8+11 (fragments
of lead sheet), OO 359.1 (drop of lead).
Discussion: All lead was found in cemetery Nijmegen-East (OO). The puddle of lead OO 223.1
(outside the coin, to the let of the head) and
the drop of lead OO 359.1 (to the let of the head,
no trace of a coin), if they are not simply
intrusions, suggest that lead was molten during
both inhumation ceremonies, but the reason remains unknown. Disk OO 19.3, d 2.4, th 0.2, may
have had a central hole: spindle whorl or amulet? OO 122.2 was outside the coin, to the right
of the head, but its shape and function are unknown. The torn piece of lead OO 195.5 was lying on the middle of the upper body and may
have been put there intentionally. OO 223.1 (outside the coin) and 2 (on the waist) were folded
pieces of lead sheet. They were folded open in
the laboratory of Museum Het Valkhof in order to
look for graiti. There were none; hammer traces are visible. That lead may be intrusive in the
(top) illing of the graves is proven by OO 249.5,
where it is wrapped around the lint of a modern
rile or pistol.
For the ancient use of lead, cf. Der Neue Pauly s.v.
Deixio.
The special use of lead for curse tablets, sometimes put into graves with the implicit request to
the deceased to hand them to the underworld
deities (Gager 1992), was reason for opening the
folded lead sheet OO 223.1-2; there was no text.
A rolled strip of lead with punched text and symbols, reportedly found in a Marienburg grave in
1998 and depicted in Van Enckevort et al. (2002a,
106: drawing; 2002b, 24: photographs) is called a
curse tablet there. It turned out to be a forgery,
ater the present author had writen an
unpublished paper in 2002 to voice his mistrust
of this and other christograms reportedly found
in and near Nijmegen in the years 1995-1999
(Toebosch 2005, Horssen 2006). All the others
appeared to be forgeries as well (Holleman 2000
presents them as genuine inds in a Dutch newspaper; Meijers et al. 2005 technically proves
them to be forgeries; Horssen 2006 combines
the arguments of the present author with the
scientiic proof).
Shapeless bronze: 27 examples
Examples: B 139.3 (bronze remains), B 143.6
(bronze sheet with 2 rivets; small tube), B 180.
coin (two irregular strips of bronze), B 196.8
(pieces of bronze sheet), B 198.4 (tube: spring
tube of a ibula?), B 205.intr. (bronze slag), B 256.
intr. (folded strip of bronze sheet), B 312.1
(bronze wire), B 320.4 (bronze sheet with rivet),
B 320.6 (piece of proiled bronze wire or bracelet, bent out of shape), B 486.1 (piece of bronze),
B 620.20 (bronze knob), B 706.5 (small bronze
tube in a split pin), B 778.9 (bronze tube, possibly a bead), OO 9.16 (bronze plate, no data), OO
49.2, OO 101.12 (scrap of bronze mounting), OO
107.1 (shapeless piece of bronze sheet), OO
144.11 (curved lid or corner reinforcement of
bronze sheet), OO 144.14 (drop of bronze), OO
176.14 (fragment of bronze), OO 208.1 (piece of
bronze), OO 229.1, OO 247.1 (scrap of bronze
sheet), OO 366.5, OO 404.1 (shapeless piece of
bronze), OO 473.6 (bronze sheet folded double).
Discussion: Further comment is relevant for the
following. B 143.6 (bronze sheet with 2 rivets;
small tube), found at the height of the waist,
may be a belt stifener and a strap end. B 620.20
is a knob found at the neck of the young girl in
380
—
the sarcophagus of the Grutberg. B 320.4 was in
a wooden chest with a strap end: a clothing accessory? B 320.6 is a piece of bronze wire, possibly a bracelet. The mysterious small tube B
706.5 in a split pin was the only metal object in a
niche and had been put there intentionally. The
tube B 778.9 was lying in a botle together with
beads and pendants and probably is a bead. B
180.coin are mountings for a wooden object.
OO 144.11, a curved lid or corner reinforcement
of bronze sheet, is, apart from the sapropelite
box discussed above, the only indication we
have for a round box of perishable material.
Shapeless iron: 13 examples
Examples: B 465.12 (two halves of a bent iron rod
with textile bands around it in two places), B
465.21 (bent iron rod), B 741.7, OO 71.4 (lat disk d
7.0), OO 88.5, OO 90.2, OO 94.3, OO 223.1, OO
250.16, OO 271.12, OO 283.6-8, OO 307.1, OO
339.13, OO 352.1 (link?), OO 415.2, OO 428.1, OO
469.3 (scrap of iron sheet).
Discussion: Further comment is only necessary for
the following. In the case of B 465.12 and B 465.21
one should take into account that this grave with
its many unique pieces has been identiied as that
of a priestess. The two iron objects may be part of
her pontiicals, but cannot be identiied with certainty. B 465.21 might be the broken-of bend of
bent rod B 465.12, which was kept in a bent position by textile bands wrapped around it in two
places. The symbolic meaning might be: sot
powers overcome hard power. The breaking-of
must have taken place when the textile bands
were already being mineralized. OO 311.7 possibly
is a bracelet. OO 415.2 is an iron object, bent and
with a square nail hole, found on or above the
lower body of a person who wore a crossbow ibula on the right shoulder.
13 Typology of the graves
Niches: a minimum of 137 graves and a maximum
of 146 had a niche (9 graves uncertain), 8 of
which, all in cemetery B, certainly with an empty
one, indicated below with (e). Italics: graves with
certain orientation and one niche with certain
relation to the body; these data have been used
in drawing up Tables 15 and 16. The details of
each grave may be looked up in the ind catalogue in Chapters 5 and 6; the age and gender of
the deceased (wherever known), in Chapter 7.
Examples: 92 graves with one niche, on the N: B 7 (e), B

3 graves where the niche was the only part of the grave
found and its orientation therefore unknown: B 817,
OO 168, OO 188;
9 graves where the presence of a niche is uncertain: B
184, B 358, B 566, B 805, OO 162, OO 278, OO
393, OO 447, OO 482.
Discussion: A niche is a hole dug horizontally from
the side of the grave trench. It usually is some 50
cm higher than the loor of the grave (varying
from 10 cm lower than the grave loor up to 88
cm above it). Many Nijmegen niches seem to be
level with the grave loor; seem, because they are
not well documented. Most niches contained
grave goods, i.e. drinks and/or meals.
An old article on niches in Late Roman inhumation graves is Haberey (1934). He reports that
many niches in the Severinstraße Late Roman
cemetery in Cologne were subdivided by wooden planks into diferent levels (not a trace of that
custom in Nijmegen); that 31 out of 210 graves
had niches (i.e. 15%; the percentage in Nijmegen
is 10-11%); that they usually measure some
40x50 cm (25x35 up to 70x70); that they were
also found in Cologne graves in clay and in gravel soils; and that their distribution area includes
Worms, Ehrang and Bregenz. We may conclude
that this area is the Roman northwest on the
continent. Haberey considers graves with niches
to be miniature chamber tombs.
There is a striking diference here between Cologne and Nijmegen on the one hand and Gellep
on the other. In Nijmegen, 137 out of 1323 graves
have niches, i.e. 10.3%; at the time of Haberey’s
article, Cologne had 15%. In Gellep, no more
than 39 graves out of 1258 inhumations had
niches, i.e. 3.1% (Pirling/Siepen (2006, 13-4).
The ratio behind the Nijmegen niches comes out
best when they are sorted according to three criteria: 1. is the head of the deceased to the east
(an E-W grave) or to the west (a W-E grave)?; 2.
is the niche to the let or the right of the body?;
3. at the height of which body part is the niche?
Table 15 shows, e.g., that the niche is to the right
of the head in 17 E-W graves, i.e. in 28% of the
total of 61 E-W graves with one niche each; and
that one E-W grave, i.e. 2%, has a niche to the
let of the head. Tables 15 and 16 show that the
preferred side of the grave is the north (81% in
E-W graves, 70% in W-E graves). This means that
the niches were mostly made where the
gravedigger could see what he was doing, the
daylight falling in from the south; and that the

position to the right or let of the deceased was
less important.
As to the dates, no Nijmegen niche is later than
AD 367 or more probably AD 355: they all fall
within the irst potery period, deined in Chapter 14. This irst potery period is characterized
by abundance, and the niches were meant to
stow away this abundance. The second potery
period is characterized by scarcity, so niches
were no longer needed.

Discussion: Nails with square shat and latish
head occur so oten that their presence was taken for granted by the excavators. They were
generally not counted by the excavators, but 32
graves got the remark ‘no nails’. This is surprising, as 407 out of 834 graves in cemetery B contained nails, i.e. 49%, and 221 out of 489 graves
in cemetery OO, i.e. 45%.
What was considered the normal amount of
nails appears from remarks on deviations, mentioned above in parentheses: six times 1 nail,
twice 2, once ‘some’, twice ‘many’, once 38): the
unconscious norm is an unspeciied number between 2 and ‘many’; 38 is clearly noted as an
exceptional case.
Ater having excavated 190 graves in cemetery
OO, the excavators decided to study the number
and positions of the nails in the remaining
graves and started, from trench 211 in 1981, making excavation drawings with special atention
to nails. Counts on these drawings and bar diagrams (not shown here) of these counts show
two main and two sub-groups. Main group 1:
twenty-ive graves have 1-11 nails, the mean in
that group being 2-6. Main group 2: eleven
graves have 13-17 nails, with a mean of 13. Subgroup 1: two graves with 19-20 nails. Sub-group
2: two graves with 23-24 nails.
In many cases, the presence of nails is the only
indication of a coin. The remark ‘no trace of
coin, but nails are present’ occurs 28 times out
of 162 graves without coin trace.
The models of the coins reconstructed from
the nail paterns are discussed in the next paragraph but one.
Remaining iron parts of coins: 7 examples
Examples: B 138.1 (iron mountings), B 670.coin
(large nail), OO 273.4 (iron mounting strip), OO
273.5 (nail with square shat, l 7.5), OO 278.1
(long iron nail), OO 305.1 (two iron cramps).
Discussion: There are two enormous nails: B 670.
coin and OO 278.1 OO 278.1 resembles a ship’s
nail in the Romano-Celtic shipbuilding tradition:
bent twice into the model of the hooked nail
(Marsden 1994, 13 ig. 3). Could part of a ship
have been in grave OO 278? At Oosterbeintum in
Frisia and on many places in Scandinavia, ship’s
nails were found in early medieval cremations:
parts of demolished ships were apparently used
in pyres there (Oosterbeintum graves 335, 393,
433: Knol et al. 1996, 44; Scandinavia: pers.
comm. Dr R. Bockius). This possibility can safely
be excluded for inhumation grave OO 278 with
its clear coin trace. The only possibility remaining is that someone familiar with shipbuilding
made this coin: no surprise in a city on a river.
Coins: 864 examples by P.A.M. Zoetbrood
General discussion: In 583 graves of cemetery B
and in 281 of cemetery OO, coins were recognized. The following text on coin types focuses
384
—
on cemetery OO, where in 136 graves the coin
construction has been studied (see Chapter 2,
Introduction to cemetery Nijmegen-East (cemetery OO),
section Ways of excavating).
Although the wood of the coins had completely decayed, apart from very few fragments
near iron objects, a clear outline could be
recognized in most cases. The presence of nails,
in most cases in clear relation to coin traces,
airmed the use of coins. In the other graves of
cemetery OO there is not a trace of a coin, be it
discoloration or nails.
Relation to the grave. Generally, the grave is not
much larger than the space needed for the cofin. In 82% of the graves originally recognized,
the trench was 10-70 cm longer than the coin.
Also 82% of the graves originally recognized
have a width between 20 and 75 cm more than
that of the coin.
In almost all graves, the coin, if any, was placed
in the middle of the grave, also in the larger
graves. In six graves only, the coin was put
against the long side of the grave (OO 148: in N
half; OO 57: against SE side; OO 90: against the N
side; OO 288: against the E side). It appears that
the grave diggers sometimes did not know the
size of the coin to be expected: a sign that
grave digging was a cratsman’s work. Graves
without a trace of a coin were smaller and shallower than those with coin.
Shape. The information in 64 graves was too incomplete to determine the shape of the coin.
Most of these were incompletely excavated or
disturbed. Some of those 64 did have nails. For
266 graves two coin shapes can be distinguished: rectangular (75%) and tapering (6%);
18% had no trace of a coin.
In seven graves, there were clear coin traces
but no nails (OO 36, OO 100, OO 130, OO 306, OO
310, OO 311, OO 418). A relation between the
shape of the grave and that of the coin could
not be established.
Length, width, height: Table 17 puts the data of
length and width together.
Table 17: Lengths and widths of coins in
cemetery OO
Length (N=193)
Width (N=214)
Domain
56-240 cm
33-55 cm
Most are between
160-220 cm
-
Peak between
180-210 cm
40-50 cm
There is of course a relation between length and
width of the coins. Coins shorter than 160 cm
usually have a width under 45 cm and mostly
near 30 cm. In the majority of the coins, the
length of 160/165 up to 220 cm corresponds to a
width between 40 and 55 cm.
As against length and width of coins, which can
be measured fairly precisely from the discolorations caused by the perished wood, the original
height of the coins cannot be taken with any
conidence. The remaining heights of the
discolorations lies between 5 and 55 cm.
Construction. There were traces of wooden coins
in 281 graves of cemetery OO. The wood itself
has perished completely, apart from fragments
in direct contact with metal objects. As a rule, a
fairly clear outline was recognized. In the majority iron nails were found, varying from a few up
to dozens, found in clear relation to the line of
the coin. As opposed to the discolorations,
their positions do give some information about
the construction of the coins.
Firstly we must conclude that wood junctions
were used, as we have coin traces without any
nail (OO 100, OO 125, OO 229, OO 288, OO 306,
OO 311, OO 379, OO 418).
In a number of graves, no nails were used for
sides and botom, but some were found at a
higher altitude: for the lid? (at both ends: OO 75
and OO 277; at one end: OO 275, OO 309 and OO
312). The small number of nails in many graves
shows that there too wood junctions must have
been used, and nails only where needed.
Only in the graves with excavation numbers 192327 (see Appendix 1b for their numbers in the
present catalogue), the positions of the nails
385
—
were noted in three dimensions. Only for 50 of
these graves ive types of junctions (types 1-5)
between botom and sides can be distinguished;
the other 86 graves contained no coin traces or
no nails, or did not permit a reconstruction even
though both were present.
For the other graves, with excavation numbers
1-189 and 901-919, there is no certainty, as the
altitude of the nails is unknown. Still, paterns
can be recognized in the distribution of the nails,
which either suggest or exclude that a grave belongs to the ive types of construction: the
uncertain examples treated with each type.
Coin type 1: 19 examples + 8 uncertain ones
Examples: OO 24, OO 74, OO 128, OO 132, OO 156,
OO 186, OO 196, OO 216, OO 222, OO 223, OO
240, OO 241, OO 242, OO 246, OO 274, OO 279,
OO 335, OO 341, OO 360.
Uncertain examples: OO 3, OO 5, OO 96, OO 101,
OO 255, OO 314, OO 345, OO 400.
Discussion: Coins whose sides are nailed against
the botom board with single nails in the long
sides roughly opposite each other. In a majority
of these cases, the corner is formed by nailing
the long sides to the end side of the short side
boards. In some cases, also the short side board
is nailed against the botom board. Oblique horizontal nails in corners are a slipshod (sometimes extra) way of joining long and short sides.
No vertical nails were found in the lower half of
the grave.
Discussion of the uncertain examples: The single nails
in the long sides are roughly opposite each other; nails in the short sides also in the cases of OO
3, OO 5, OO 101, and OO 314. This group looks
like coin type 1, but it does not contain coins
where nails were found at all corners. Anyway,
they do not belong to types 2-5.
Coin type 2: 14 examples + 13 uncertain ones
Examples: OO 72, OO 122, OO 164, OO 194, OO
232, OO 243, OO 244, OO 248, OO 278, OO 283,
OO 287, OO 340, OO 363, OO 387.
Uncertain examples: OO 4, OO 31, OO 325, OO 326,
OO 333, OO 346, OO 349, OO 371, OO 381, OO

Discussion: Coins whose long sides are nailed
against the botom board in one, two or three
pairs opposite each other. This distribution in
pairs suggests that the botom board was carried by clamps. In cemetery OO, there is no certain evidence for such clamps, but graves B 318,
B 331, B 481, B 595 and possibly B 397 do have
them. Like in group 1, in a majority the corner is
formed by nailing the long sides to the end side
of the short side boards. In some cases, also the
short side board is nailed against the botom

board. No vertical nails were found in the lower
half of the grave.
Discussion of the uncertain examples: Nails in four
corners and one, two or three pairs of nails in
the long sides; nails in the short sides hardly occur: one pair in OO 4, OO 31, OO 326, OO 333, OO
346, OO 371, OO 383, and OO 401; two pairs in
OO 349, OO 381, and OO 423; three pairs in OO
325 and OO 434. OO 326 and OO 346 have one
nail in a short side each. This group of coins
looks like type 2 and anyway not like types 1 or
3-5. But, as the altitude of the nails is not known,
the ‘pairs’ may not be pairs at all.
Coin type 3: 9 examples + 8 uncertain ones
Examples: OO 89, OO 90, OO 94, OO 112, OO 161,
OO 210, OO 338, OO 361, OO 362.
Uncertain examples: OO 26, OO 53, OO 98, OO 104,
OO 107, OO 208, OO 318, OO 347.
Discussion: Coins whose botom board is nailed
onto longitudinal beams from the top down.
Vertical nails with their points down show that
the botom board is nailed onto the beams on
both sides and sometimes also in between. In
the majority of these coins, the long sides are
nailed against the beam and/or the beams; in
half the cases, the short side is also nailed
against botom board or beam. In one case only
the long side is nailed in the corner against the
short one.
Discussion of the uncertain examples: Nails are found
in the four corners and in the long sides. Nails in
the short sides hardly occur; a nail in a short side
at OO 26, OO 53, and OO 104. This group cannot
belong to types 2-5; similarity to type 1 is possible only if no corner nails were used near the
botom board.
Coin type 4: 6 examples + 7 uncertain ones
Examples: OO 71, OO 231, OO 249, OO 272, OO
339, OO 386.
Uncertain examples: OO 30, OO 58, OO 63, OO 102,
OO 148, OO 153, OO 198.
Discussion: Coins whose botom board is nailed
from below onto the long and short sides: vertical nails pointing upwards. In this group of six
coins there are two pairs of similar construction: OO 272 and OO 249 as against OO 339 and
OO 386. The outline of the coin of OO 231 is
uncertain, but there are four nails pointing upwards. OO 71 has two such nails.
Discussion of the uncertain examples: Only in the four
corners there were nails that joined the long
sides against the short ones.
Coin type 5: 2 examples
Examples: OO 131, OO 280.
Discussion: Two small coins have one nail pointing upwards in each corner.

Stone: 20 examples
Examples: B 6.1 (tufa), B 43.2, B 48.2, B 94, B
395.4-5 (lat pieces), B 402.5 (stone at foot end),
B 421.2, B 435.4-5, B 504.1 (piece of white
limestone), B 504.2 (Namur crinoidal limestone
also known as stinking limestone), B 536.2
(building fragment: block of composite stone), B
stray 306 (lat fragment of sandstone), B 537.intr.
(limestone fragment 16x10x4.5 with ridge), B
699.0 (slate-stone slab), B 701.7, B 702.7, OO
186.8, OO 232.4.
Discussion: It should be remarked that stone,
apart from the ine layers of gravel in the icepushed ridge, does not naturally occur in or near
Nijmegen, so all stone was brought here by man.
B 48.2, B 43.2, B 395.4-5, B 701.7 and B 702.7 are
lat pieces of stone that covered potery vessels
(to the existence of B 43.2 has been concluded
because beaker B 43.1 was empty; it was not noticed for itself). B 421.2 is a lat piece of stone
that was lying next to cooking-pot B 421.1, which
it had apparently covered originally. In grave B
94 a ield stone together with two tile fragments
covered all grave goods. B 402.5 was a ‘rather
large oblong piece of stone’ against the foot
end, counterpart of complete tile B 402.4 against
the head end. B 699.0 is a unique piece: a slatestone slab 101x73x10 cm, on which the coin
(84x35 cm) of a girl stood. B 504.1 and 2 are large
blocks of white limestone and grey so-called
stinking limestone, which were found along the
long south edge of the grave, together with a
tegula fragment with cement on it: reused building-materials. The same holds for B 537.1 and B
536.2.
Brick: 24 examples
Examples: B 20, B 29.1-2 (two complete imbrices),
B 57.2a (fragment of imbrex), B 57.4 (two tegula
fragments), B 94, B 233 (two tiles), B 402.4 (complete tegula), B 409.2 (imbrex fragments), B
504.3 (tegula fragment), B 547.intr. (imbrex fragment), B 622, B 650, B 663, B 681.3-4, B 689, B
702.6 (complete imbrex), B 759.intr., B 794.intr.,
B 795.2-6 (imbrices), OO 62.4-5 (eight iting imbrex fragments and one non-iting), OO 150.1,
OO 203.3, OO 366.6, OO 431.1 (tile fragment), OO
stray 16 (an apparently complete tegula with
stamp LXG; not found in museum store).
Discussion: Brick can have four functions in the
graves: covering a group of grave goods, covering individual grave goods, covering the grave or
the inhumation, and lateral limit of the grave.
Covering a group of grave goods: In B 94 two iting
388
—
fragments of an imbrex and two tegula fragments together with a ield stone covered all
grave goods in the western (foot) end. The complete imbrex B 702.6 covered four out of ive
grave goods in a niche (in the northwest, to the
let of the feet).
Covering individual grave goods: Individual grave
goods were covered by imbrex fragments in the
case of OO 62.4-5 and OO 203.2. In B 681 three
tegula fragments each covered an individual
grave good in a niche on the north side. One of
these has a fragmentary brick stamp: (branch) G.
This must be a stamp of Legio X Gemina, which
occupied Nijmegen AD 71-104; to be precise: one
of the stamps 68, 69, 70 and 74, in Brunsting/
Steures 1995 and 1997, all of which have a
branch before the G.
Covering the grave or the inhumation: Complete imbrices B 29.1-2 covered a very small grave of
70x20 cm. They possibly did not serve as grave
marker above the ground, as they were still
complete; see also the ind circumstance of B
795.2-6 below. A marker underground, in case
one would like to dig a new grave in the same
plot? In the case of B 795.2-6 three complete
and several fragmentary imbrices were lying on
the longitudinal axis of the coin. As a beaker
was found on a higher level, they cannot have
served as grave marker above ground. The three
iting imbrex fragments B 409.2, whose position in the grave was not clear, will have covered
something in the grave but it remains unclear
what.
Lateral limit of the grave: Grave B stray f consisted
completely of tegulae. Complete tegula B 402.4
was standing against the head end of the grave,
and was a counterpart of a rather large oblong
stone against the foot end. OO 431.1 was a tegula
fragment at the head end. Two identical tiles had
been placed against the long north side of B 233.
There was cement on B 504.3: reused building
material, just like the two stone fragments B
504.1-2, put against the long south side of the
grave.
Unclear remains the function of the brick fragments in B 20, B 663, B 650, B 622, B 689, B 759
(in grave illing, so probably intrusions), B 794,
and B 547. The most probable solution is that
these are all intrusions, which got accidentally
into the graves when they were being illed in.
Stone sarcophagi: 8 examples
Examples: B 458.1, B 536.1, B 580.1, B 601.1, B
620.0, B 627.1, B stray 156, B stray 280, Remainder stray 17. (NB B stray 280 and Remainder
stray 17 are earlier sarcophagi, as appears from
their grave goods.)
Discussion: Table 22 summarizes what we know
about the sarcophagi from the documentation. In
the second longest sarcophagus found during the
excavations, the one from the Grutberg, a young
girl (8-10 years or younger) was laid to rest. All
other sarcophagi were (as good as) empty when
found. We may safely assume that all ive smaller
sarcophagi were also meant for children. The
largest one, only 10 cm longer than that of the
Grutberg, was probably also meant for a child.
All sarcophagi are rectangular and undecorated
inside and out. Two sarcophagi have notches at
their tops for a lever that would have helped to
put the lid in its place: B 580.1 two notches on a
long side, B 620.0 one on a short side.
There are three types of sarcophagus lids. For B
580.1 a lat slab is certain; B 620 has a high roof
model with four oblique curved planes; B stray
131 had a similar lid, which got lost when it was
lited before it could have dried. The lid of B 458,
which was apparently lost when it was tried to
lit it, had a lat underside, side planes h 10 (at
corners) and 15 (under the rib), two slightly concave top planes along the rib. It is shown on a
photograph but was not drawn in the object
drawing. (Two other drawings have its shape
wrong: the detailed drawing of B 456-8 and the
overall drawing of Brunsting’s excavation in area
LN.)
The sarcophagus of the Grutberg (= B 620.0) is
dated by its grave goods and coins to AD 317318; B stray 156, to VI.
As to the distribution of these simple sarcophagi, they are all but absent from Gellep (a single
sarcophagus: Pirling/Siepen 2006, 13) but

present in Cologne (Haberey 1934) and Worms
(Grünewald 1990, 21).
Both in Cologne and in Worms a bed of chalk in
the sarcophagi was atested (Haberey 1934,
276-7; Grünewald 1990, 38), probably put there to
accelerate the decomposition of the body. Nothing like it was atested in the two Nijmegen intact
sarcophagi, which were both emptied in the Nijmegen Museum G.M. Kam, i.e. under ideal circumstances (Oude Graafseweg and Grutberg:
Buchem 1951 and 1958a; in the present study: Remainder stray 17-21 and grave B 620). The report,
writen by Brunsting on the day the Grutberg sarcophagus was opened, 14 October 1957, does not
mention such a chalk layer, nor do the ive photographs of the contents show a white layer (two of
them published in Swinkels/Deckers-Hageman
1997, 32). The only white substance Brunsting
mentions was on the forehead, tentatively interpreted by him as an unction: see remark to grave
B 620.

14 Interpretation
Time
Before: was there a ‘gap of Nijmegen’ AD 270313?
The present-day city of Nijmegen, on a bend of
the river Waal, partly on an ice-pushed ridge in
the SE and partly on the low bank of the river in
the NW, has a long range of Roman sites. From E
to W: on the ice-pushed ridge Kops Plateau, Hunerberg and Valkhof; and on the low S bank of the
river the Roman town of Ulpia Noviomagus. The
town of Ulpia Noviomagus is usually dated with
the help of coins and potery in its cemetery
(Brunsting 1937) to AD 70-270. The latest coin in
the tiny excavated part of its town-moat is an antoninianus of Gallienus and dates from AD 259-260
(RIC V/1, 44 (C); Bogaers/Haalebos 1986, 3, 10 n.
12). Though the causes are guessed at in the literature, it is not clear how its end came (Brunsting
1937, 210; Noviomagus 1979, 62; Van Es 1981, 156;
Willems 1990, 72; Van Enckevort et al. 2000a, 84;
Haalebos/Willems in: Willems et al. 2005, 52; Willems/Van Enckevort 2009, 27-8, 74 (‘The end of
the urban setlement, as a result of the Germanic
raids, may be dated to c.260/270’), 79). Even less
clear is, what happened to the population between the end of Ulpia Noviomagus and the
beginning of the setlement on the Valkhof and its
Late Roman cemeteries, which are subject of the
present study.
Also around 260/270, communis opinio has it, the
auxiliary fortresses of the limes in the Dutch part of
Germania Inferior were abandoned and the frontier collapsed (Van Es 1981, 47; Bechert/Willems
1995, 26-7). The Franks had newly formed (Panegyrici Latini 11.5.4; 7.2) from the Germanic tribes
on the right border of the Rhine (Amsivarii, Bructeri, Chamavi, Chatuarii, possibly the Chati) and
from AD 260 onward they invaded the Roman
Empire many times, as far as southern Gaul and
Hispania. Trier fell AD 275/6. Bechert/Willems
(1995, 26-7) writes:
‘Earlier on, it was supposed that with the invasions of the Franks in the second half of the
third century, part of the fortresses on the limes
of lower Germany, especially those west of Ni-
jmegen, were demolished and given up. Nowadays, however, we have come to the conclusion that this was perhaps an
oversimpliication. In principle, it seems to be
correct that the fortresses on the lower Rhine,
between the bifurcation of the river Waal and
the coast, were abandoned, at the latest during the fall of the Gallic Empire (274) and the
invasion of the Franks c.275. On the other
hand, the evidence is accumulating that at
least some of the fortresses, such as Meinerswijk, Utrecht and Valkenburg, were again put
into use in the fourth century.’ (Transl. D.St.)
The authors are silent on what happened in
Nijmegen, just behind the limes, between AD 270
and 313, when the Late Roman cemeteries began.
Such reticence is not present in the more recent
literature. Van Enckevort et al. (2000a, 9) shows
a blank between AD 270 and 300 in a graph of
the occupation history of Nijmegen and writes
on the town of Ulpia Noviomagus, to the west of
the Valkhof (84): ‘.. activities of cratsmen.
Around the middle of the third century, they
came to a (temporary) end. In the fourth century,
Frankish colonists seem to have been squating
in the ruins of the town.’ (Transl. D.St.). In 2003,
Van Enckevort and Thijssen write: ‘Just ater the
middle of the 3rd century these activities came
to an end. Nijmegen, like other parts of the Lower Rhine area, was abandoned around AD
260/270’ (in: Wilson (ed.) 2003, 70-1). It should
be noted that this later quotation is about entire present-day Nijmegen with its long range of
Roman sites, not only about its town of Ulpia
Noviomagus. Willems et al. (2005, 111) repeats
the message of Van Enckevort et al. (2000a, 9).
Driessen’s (2007, 167, 170) thesis on the topography, setlement continuity and monumentality
of Roman Nijmegen is again silent on the end of
Ulpia Noviomagus and so glosses over the two
problems of setlement continuity: before and
ater the Late Roman cemeteries. Willems/van
Enckevort 2009, the redrated English version of
the study in Dutch Willems et al. 2005, is unclear
about a gap of Nijmegen, as the following three
391
—
quotes show: ‘At the start of the 4th c., Constantine succeeded in re-establishing Roman control
of the Lower Rhine ater some decades of chaos.’
(27) ‘However, the shit of the centre of habitation to the Valkhof and surroundings does not
mean that Ulpia Noviomagus was entirely deserted in this period. There are various indications now that there was some habitation in the
Late Roman period.’ (28) ‘Like other places in the
Lower Rhine area, Nijmegen was largely abandoned around 270 under the pressure of recurring atacks by Germanic tribes. Under Constantine the Great Nijmegen became a signiicant
setlement once again, but Ulpia Noviomagus
was not rebuilt, although there are indications
that Frankish colonists lived amidst the ruins.’
(79) The same study (99) and Koster (2010, 4)
sum up the evidence: some crossbow ibulae,
terra sigillata with roller stamp decoration and
some fourth-century coins. So, if indeed these
fourth-century inhabitants of Ulpia Noviomagus
were Frankish, they exclusively used things Roman and cannot be recognised as Frankish; a
motif we shall see recurring below, in the section
Excursus 1: Cemetery OO Frankish?!
There is enough evidence to show that this ‘gap
of Nijmegen’, even for Ulpia Noviomagus itself,
does not exist: coins, potery, literary evidence,
and, to be discussed below, the population size
of Ulpia Noviomagus and the Valkhof setlement.
Coins
Firstly, our own cemeteries do have coins from
the period (see Coin list 3): two antoniniani from
AD 270, one from 272-280, one from 276-282,
and one follis from 295; moreover, the ten coins
from the irst fourth-century coin period (AD
298-307) all fall within the time of this supposed
gap of Nijmegen.
Secondly, a recent study of the coins from the
Kops Plateau has twelve coins dating to AD 270300, eleven of which barbaric imitations (Van der
Vin 2002, 200, nos. 4348-59): 4x Divus Claudius
II, AD 270-290; 3x Tetricus I, AD 270-273 (one of
which an oicial coin, RIC 82-84); 2x Tetricus I,
AD 270-280, 1x Victorinus/Tetricus c.270-290; 1x
late third century, c.270-290; 1x late third century, c.290-300. They must have been used and
lost on the Kops Plateau during the supposed
‘gap of Nijmegen’.
A similar situation in Cuijk on the river Maas, a
few kilometers south of Nijmegen, prompts Van
der Vin to write (in: Van Enckevort/Thijssen
2002, 78):
‘Very recent numismatic research has shown
that the (numerous) barbaric imitations of the
antoniniani of the Gallic Empire in Northern
Gaul (the S of the Netherlands, Belgium and
the N of France) remained in circulation until
the early fourth century. With that, we reach a
linkup with the earliest emissions of Constantine the Great (between AD 306 and 310), and
that way the hypothesis of continuity in the
occupation gains more and more probability.
The absence of ‘oicial’ coins in those years
remains however remarkable.’ (Transl. D.St.)
The absence of oicial coins is not remarkable: it
is the cause of the presence of these barbaric imitations. The so-called barbaric imitations of the
late third century have nothing to do with barbarians. They are emergency money, especially
small change, issued by inventive private and
semi-oicial Roman workshops in times when
oicial emissions did not reach these regions
(Brulet 1990, 14-5; Lamarcq/Rogge 1996, 82;
Kropf/Van der Vin 2003, 58; Gilles in: Grüßinger
2007, I.3.7,31,33,34). In other words: they represent a courageous atempt of local people to
keep the economy going in hard times. Kropf/
Van der Vin (2003), the article Van der Vin alludes
to in the above quotation, speaks of local copies
instead of barbaric imitations. The abstract of
this article is as follows (p. 55):
‘The coin series from sites in the Dutch River
area show a break during the last decades of
the third century and the irst decade of the
fourth century AD. Coins minted for Aurelian
and his successors to the throne up to
Constantine I are very scarce for all sites. The
break has been interpreted to indicate the end
of occupation of castella and setlements
392
—
around AD 275. When the site inds from the
Dutch River area are presented in the form of
an adapted histogram however, the coin series
show a striking similarity to site inds from Roman Britain, where, on the whole, continuity
was safeguarded during the third century. The
article argues that this gap in the coin series
- detectable all over the western part of the
Roman Empire - is caused by the special character of coin circulation during this period in
the west and does not indicate the end of activities on the site that provided the coins.
Coin inds even seem to suggest continuity
during this period for a number of sites in the
Dutch River area.’
The special character of coin circulation during
this period in the west is explained as follows (p.
59):
‘The coins of the Gallic Empire [AD 260-274]
(...) The coins minted for Tetricus I (whose rule
started in November 271) and Tetricus II (coruler with his father from the beginning of 273
on) formed the most important component of
Gallic circulation. An enormous number of late
third-century hoards in the west close with a
coin of one of the Tetrici. These coins and their
local copies dominated circulation in the west
for a long period (Schulzki 1989, 60).’
One particular feature of coin circulation in the
west the article discusses (p. 58-9) concerns the
coins of Gallienus (emperor AD 253-268), whose
coin minted AD 259-260 was the latest datable
one in the town moat of Ulpia Noviomagus:
‘The hoards show that relatively few coins
minted for Gallienus (produced before AD 268)
and Claudius II (AD 270) penetrated coin circulation in the Gallic Empire before AD 274 (Mattingly 1951, 282-3; Schulzki 1989, 51). Large
scale inlux started only ater the end of the
Gallic Empire in that year. The coins of Gallienus and Claudius II reached their zenith in
the coin circulation of the former Gallic Empire
in the second half of the seventies and in the
eighties of the third century (Van Heesch 1998,
139) and dominated circulation in that area up
to AD 294 (Schulzki 1989, 51).’
So the the chances are that our Gallienus coin,
minted AD 259-60, only landed in the town
moat of Ulpia Noviomagus between AD 276 and
294.
The conclusion for Nijmegen and other places is
(p. 79):
‘.. the histograms of, notably, Grave, Cuijk,
Maurik, Nijmegen and also Heerlen and Maastricht strongly indicate continuity of coin circulation during the last three decades of the
third century and the irst decades of the
fourth century.’
Also in other recent publications we ind signs of
continuity in the Dutch river area. Aarts (2007)
writes about the site of Tiel-Paasewaaij that it is
clear that all emission periods from Augustus up
to the beginning of the fourth century are represented.
Potery
The other cause that made it diicult to detect
activities in Nijmegen or rather Ulpia Noviomagus in this period is stated as follows (Kropf/Van
der Vin 2003, 56):
‘Dating inds from this period proves to be a
problem. In the west, a lot of ceramics and
other artifacts from the late third and the early
fourth century cannot be dated exactly
(Curnow 1988, 61; Willems 1989, 36).’
That may be as it is, but irstly we do have a Trier
beaker dating to AD 270-280 in the Oude Graafseweg sarcophagus. The sarcophagus (ind catalogue: Remainder stray 17-21) was found well
within the built-up area of present-day Nijmegen. It is dated to AD 270-280 by the presence of
a beautiful ine dark coloured beaker from Trier,
of Künzl’s chronological group IIIc (photo:
Steures 2009, 200, ig. 5). The ind report contains the suggestion ‘the grave of a magistrate of
Ulpia Noviomagus near his suburban villa?’ (Van
Buchem 1951, 8). The lines of commerce with Trier (for the beaker) and the Eifel (for the sarcophagus) were open for people with money.
Secondly, in his 1937 study of the cemetery of
Ulpia Noviomagus, Brunsting himself mentions
no less than 18 pieces of fourth-century potery
393
—
and then explains them away, so it is worthwile
to look at these pieces and at his explanation.
First the potery. Numbers 1-5: colour-coated
Trier beakers of Brunsting’s type 8c belong to
the fourth-century types Symonds 61 and Künzl
1.4.1 (Brunsting 1937, 202, 80-1, Pl. 3, 8c1-2; ind
numbers WW 74, KL 140-1, WW 133, Leiden e
1909/4.24). Numbers 6-8 are fourth-century
smooth jugs with painted brown bands (202, 83
no 16). Number 9 is a fourth-century terra sigillata bowl with roller stamp decoration (202, 35,
WW 17). Number 10: a terra sigillata bowl is compared to a IIId shape (202, 51 no d, WW 4). Numbers 11-12: two coarseware cooking pots without
handle may be fourth-century (202, 144 no 3b,
WW 21 & 92, ‘probably to be dated c.AD 300’).
Numbers 13-16: four coarse cooking pots with
handle are fourth-century (202, 150 no 12b, WW
57 & 90 and two unnamed ones). Numbers 1718: two coarse dented beakers are even of the
late fourth century (202, 157-8 no 28, WW 5 & 6).
Then the explaining away, with which Brunsting
safeguards his early end date of AD 260 for the
cemetery (Brunsting 1937, 202). We must keep in
mind that hardly any archaeological excavations
had taken place in the Ulpia Noviomagus cemetery: both there and in cemetery OO, pothunters had been active in the beginning of the
twentiest century, who daily sold their inds to
the collector G.M. Kam. Brunsting tells that most
of the pieces concerned belong to the less reliable ind groups WW and Leiden B, which comprise both irst-century and fourth-century pieces (1937, 8, 202). Now there is a terrain in
cemetery OO, its easternmost point, where it
overlaps with the irst-century grave group O,
which is part of cemetery CC-E-O-S (see ig. 2 in
the present study). The origin of the unreliable
ind groups, according to Brunsting, must have
been mistaken: what the pothunters reported as
inds from the Ulpia Noviomagus cemetery must
really have been found in OO. This supposition
can however not be reconciled with Brunsting’s
own remark, that the harvest of the day was immediately sold to Mr Kam (1937, 6). The pothunters could not have forgoten where the pots
came from and had nothing to win from not telling the truth. Brunsting himself sees that something is wrong with his end date of AD 260: his
own ind 21 is dated by himself to AD 280 (1937,
182-3); two of his fourth-century Trier beakers
come from his ind group KL, which he does ind
reliable. For that reason, he publishes drawings
of them, as opposed to most other fourth-century potery (1937, Pl. 3, 8c1-2).
Literary evidence
There even is contemporary literary evidence,
admitedly an argumentum e silentio, that a Roman setlement of some acceptable sort was in
existence in the Nijmegen area AD 293, when
Constantius Chlorus campaigned in Batavia, and
AD 306, when his son Constantine held the irst
of his two expeditions against the Franks.
The literary evidence of these expeditions is
found in the Panegyrici Latini (Pan.; all translations
from Nixon/Rodgers 1994) and Eusebius’ Life of
Constantine (translation Cameron/Hall 1999).
Constantius Chlorus’ campaign AD 293
About Constantius Chlorus’ expedition AD 293
we have the following texts, among which a
striking description of the sot Dutch soil: ‘He
cleared Batavia and expelled the foreign enemy’
(Pan. 12.25.2); ‘he rid of every enemy the land of
Batavia, which was occupied by diverse tribes of
Franks under the leadership of a former native
of the place [Carausius]’ (Pan. 6.5.3); ‘Many thousands of Franks who had invaded Batavia and
other lands on this side of the Rhine he slaughtered, drove out, captured or deported.’ (Pan.
7.4.2); ‘During the whole of this period, however,
you [Constantius Chlorus] never ceased to destroy those enemies whom terra irma permited
you to approach, although that region which
was liberated and purged of the enemy by your
divine campaigns, Caesar, through which the
Scaldis [Scheldt] lows with its meandering channels and which the Rhine embraces with its two
arms [the south one being the river Waal], is
hardly land at all, if I may hazard the expression.
It is so thoroughly soaked and drenched with
394
—
waters that not only where it is obviously
marshy does it yield to the pressure and engulf
the foot which treads it, but even where it seems
a litle irmer it shakes when subjected to the
tramp of feet and atests by its movement that it
feels the weight from afar. Thus the fact that this
land swims on what underlies it and, suspended
there, trembles so extensively that one might
claim with justiication that such terrain existed
to give soldiers practice in naval warfare.’ (Pan.
8.7.4-8.3).
Kropf/Van der Vin (2003, 82-3) comments on
this passage as follows:
‘Reading the panegyric in detail, one gets the
impression the soldiers were troubled more by
the high water level than by hostilities in the
River area, about which the text is not so explicit. This seems strange, for it is in the nature
of the Panegyrici Latini to give a detailed description of even relatively insigniicant military victories.
The author does mention however, that while
preparing for the campaign against the British
usurpers, the River delta was cleared of enemies (7.4, 8.1). (...) All this seems to allude to a
rather mild kind of paciication, not to a dificult campaign to restore a collapsed border.’
So, Kropf/Van der Vin argues that the border in
the Dutch River area was indeed not collapsed
under inroads of the Franks (p. 80-1):
‘Taking into account the fact that the Dutch
river area does not give quick access to the
heart of Gaul and considering that this area did
not show a fully developed urbanization or an
accumulation of rich villas, it does not seem
probable that the River area sufered from inroads of the magnitude seen in Gaul. The main
atacks seem to have been aimed at the middle and upper Rhine (Ziegler 1983, 83-4; Cüppers 1990, 125), not at the lower Rhine. (...)
With some caution, the conclusion may be
drawn that large-scale devastation and disruption as a result of inroads of the Franks around
AD 275 is not to be expected on the lower
Rhine. There is no compelling reason to assume a signiicant break in continuity as a di-
rect result of inroads around this time.’
Constantine’s irst Frankish campaign AD 306
The evidence for Constantine’s own expedition
against the Franks AD 306 is the following.
‘Moreover, from the very beginning you followed your father’s brave example’ (Pan. 7.4.2);
‘And so, son of an Emperor (and a very great one
at that), and one who has so felicitously obtained command, how have you begun to defend the State? You have visited with punishment for their rashness, I believe, some
contemptible band of barbarians who tested the
very beginnings of your reign with a sudden attack and unexpected brigandage. You did not
hesitate to punish with the ultimate penalty the
kings of Francia themselves, who took the
opportunity of your father’s absence to violate
the peace, and were not at all afraid of the perpetual hatred of that race and their implacable
fury’ (Pan. 6.10.1-2); ‘Once he was established in
imperial power, he irst atended to the needs of
his father’s portion, supervising with loving care
all the provinces which had previously been alloted to his father’s government; if any barbarian tribes living beside the River Rhine and the
Western Ocean dared to rebel, he subdued them
all and turned their savagery to gentleness,
while others he repulsed and chased of his territory like wild beasts, when he saw that they
were incurably resistant to change to a gentle
life’ (Eusebius, Life of Constantine 1.25.1).
The orator who held Panegyricus Latinus 12 in Trier
AD 313 tells that Constantine, ater beating the
Franks AD 306, let three quarters of his army in
defence of the entire Rhine (Pan. 12.2.6; 12.3.3).
The orator calls it the Praetorian Guard, which
since then kept watch over Rhine and Danube
(Pan. 12.21.3). Below, it will be made clear that
the Nijmegen cemeteries began AD 313 ater
Constantine’s second Frankish campaign of that
year. Constantine, who took care of the entire
Rhine zone, apparently had seen no reason to
leave troops in Nijmegen AD 306. The cause
must be that Ulpia Noviomagus still existed.

Conclusion
To round of: people lived on in Ulpia Noviomagus up to AD 313, certainly bought potery from
Trier and probably from the Eifel, and as yet did
not need military assistance. There is no ‘gap of
Nijmegen’ between AD 270 and AD 313, when
the people got a new haven in the fortiied
Valkhof setlement, doubtlessly also called Noviomagus (Brunsting 1937, 210-1), and the Late Roman cemeteries began. We shall see below how
the irst generation of the Valkhof setlement
showed their atachment to their former city in
the west.
The beginning: AD 313
Still, the relief must have been enormous, also in
the sense of money coming in from London and
Trier, as was the increase in living standard.
Some of the earliest graves are particularly rich
and one of the most expensive kinds of potery,
that from Trier, helps us to pinpoint the beginning.
There are two indications that both Nijmegen
Late Roman cemeteries were irst used just before AD 315: irstly, one kind of potery, and secondly, their coin statistics.
Firstly, the use of white and some yellow barbotine on only six pieces out of hundreds of ine
dark coloured potery from Trier: botle B stray
128, beaker B stray 240, beaker OO stray 181, jug
OO 4.1, beaker OO 78.1, beaker OO 130.1. These
belong to Künzl’s chronological group IV, dated
AD 280-315: see Künzl (1997, 53-77) and the section on chronology of the Trier beakers in Chapter 11 of the present study. Not only cemetery OO
had graves with this early potery: the presence
of the two intact stray pieces in cemetery B, both
found during works on diferent places near the
town hall, shows that at least two graves there
would have been dated just as early, had they
been excavated properly.
Secondly, the coin statistics. Table 23, which I owe
to Dr Fleur Kemmers and her sharp eyes, shows
the distribution of fourth-century coins according to mint and the eight coin periods into
which the fourth century has been subdivided
ever since the basic study of Carson, Hill and
Kent (1960). She drew up this table in 2005. It
has been adapted to R.W. Reijnen’s revision and
update of the coin identiications of 2011, but her
comments remain valid.
In an email of 31st March 2005, Fleur Kemmers
wrote as a comment on her table:
‘For fourth-century coins, there is the rule of
thumb that they were in circulation for a short
time. As there are so many periods, it is likely
that coins of a period were delivered in Nijmegen in that same period. London appears
to have a strong presence in the years 307-318
(fair enough: ater that its mint was closed).
(…) In the periods ater that, Trier is absolutely
dominant, except in period 7, when Arles takes
over. That too was to be expected, as it is the
trend in the whole of northwestern Europe.
That trend has peaks in periods 4 and 7. The
good representation of periods 1-3 in Nijmegen is therefore remarkable, something I have
never seen before. Something special must
have been going on in Nijmegen. My immediate association is with the fortress on the
Valkhof. As it is, coins were delivered to the
army; how they got in the hands of the civilian
population, was the population’s problem, not
that of the authorities. [She repeated this
statement in an article (Kemmers 2007, 208);
see also Kropf 2008, 11 with further literature.]
Bronze currency was strongly regionalized in
the fourth century. This means that the supply
by the authorities determines the picture, and
that hardly any coin slips in from elsewhere. As
London is relatively close and its mint was
working in that period, supply from London
(and Trier) will have been chosen: they were
the two nearest mints. The London mint
closed down soon aterwards.’ (Transl. D.St.)
A closer look at Coin list 3: per coin ater its latest
minting date elsewhere in this study shows that
the supply from London begins with one coin
minted AD 303-305, continues with four coins
minted AD 310, one of AD 310-313, one of AD
312-313, and starts in earnest with eight coins
minted AD 313-315, ater which it eases of to

three coins of AD 316-317 and one from AD 318,
and ends with one coin of AD 323-324. Apart
from coin OO 382.8, minted AD 318, all London
coins were found in cemetery B.
The coin supply from Trier began with a steady
trickle of ive coins between AD 295 and 305307, and exploded with no less than 30 coins in
the second coin period, AD 307-318.
There are ive coins whose last minting year was
AD 313, one that was minted only in that year,
and nine that began to be minted AD 313.
Conclusion: potery and coins together indicate
that both Nijmegen cemeteries began to be used
just before AD 315, most probably AD 313. It is
taken here to be the year in which both cemeteries began to be used.
That was a year ater Constantine the Great had
defeated Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge outside Rome and had become the sole augustus of
the west. Ater his meeting with the augustus of
the east, Licinius, in Milan AD 313, where they
drew up the document known as the Edict of Milan, Constantine returned to our region in order
to reside in Trier and to subdue the Franks, just
as he had done AD 306. Now Constantine was a
proliic lawgiver (Liebs in: Demandt/Engemann
2007, 190-6, esp. 196) and laws were dated and
mentioned the place where they had been
drawn up, so that we can follow his whereabouts. His second expedition against the Franks
took place in June/July 313 (Pan. 12.21.5): on June
15th, he was still in Trier, on July 1st and 27th he

was in Cologne, on July 15 and 20 he held the
Ludi Francici for the irst time, and August 3rd he
was back in Trier, where Panegyricus 12 was delivered (Seeck 1919, 161; Pan. 12.1.1: hic rursus = on
your return here; Pan. 12.24.2: trucem Francum =
the grim Frank; Nixon/Rodgers 1994, 289, 294 n.
1, 329 n. 146; Filocalus’ Calendar of AD 354, July 15
and 20). We may assume that he took the initiative to reestablish Nijmegen as a stronghold
against the Franks in those months, to be precise: in the second half of June or the irst half of
July AD 313.
Appendix 4, overview of the dated graves, shows that
AD 325 or earlier is the terminus ante quem for
graves B 22, B 140, B 176, B 180, B 297, B 298, B
620, OO 4, OO 78, OO 130, OO 149, OO 159, OO
161, OO 176, OO 209, OO 234, and stray inds B
stray 128, B stray 240 and OO stray 181. By AD
325, the use of both cemeteries was in full swing.
Amongst these graves, there are two rich ones
that have drawn atention in the literature be-
fore: B 298 is the grave interpreted both here
and in earlier articles by the author as that of a
female Sabazios worshipper from Cologne
(Steures 2004ab). B 620 is the sarcophagus from
the Grutberg with its tambourine sticks: see literature in Chapters 5 and 12.
Two potery periods
There are two potery periods in the Nijmegen
cemeteries. The irst one is characterized by
abundance and niches for gravegoods, the second by shortage.
Potery period 1 comprises the irst two-thirds of
the fourth century. Pirling dates the Trier beakers
to this time, i.e. up to AD 367. If she is right,
which may well be, there was a twelve-year-long
retardation, in which beakers already arrived in
Nijmegen were still being used as grave goods.
For AD 353-355 was the period of disasters.
Magnentius had himself hailed as augustus AD
351 and had seized power in Gaul. His brother
and caesar Decentius besieged Trier AD 353
398
—
(Amm.Marc. 15,6,4). Goethert (in: Demandt/
Engemann 2007, 402) suggests that this siege
caused the demolition of the poteries before
the city wall on the bank of the Moselle. This
sounds more probable to me than Suzanna Künzl’s (1997, 118, 129) opinion that competition by
the Argonnes terra sigillata caused the end of
the ine dark coated beakers from Trier. In 355,
the military commander Silvanus (Amm.Marc.
15,5) rose in Cologne against court intrigues, and
the power vacuum ater he was murdered
caused a devastating incursion of Frankish and
Alamannic hordes. Cologne was devastated and
Trier was for a time overrun. For Cologne we
have an ancient report: Amm.Marc. 15,8,19.
There are no certain ancient reports about
devastations in Trier, but it is generally taken for
granted that the two devastated cities that Julian saw AD 356 according to Libanius or.18,46
are Cologne and Trier. For the region around Trier, Schwinden (1984) has listed the archaeological reports of devastations of AD 355. The production of the Trier beakers came to an end, and
the uncertainty of the times prevented the potters from resuming their work. Suddenly, there
was a menace from across the Rhine and the
low of products from Cologne and Trier
stopped.
As for potery and glass vessels, cemetery OO
only participates in potery period 1. The possible cause will be treated below in the section The
roads: the road from the Valkhof to the east
seems to have been closed.
Potery period 2 is limsy: just a few graves in cemetery B with terminus post quem of AD 376 and
later, half the time covered by the present study
(see end of Appendix 4), have Argonnes terra
sigillata and the coarse ware from the Eifel,
which was now to dominate the market up to
the high Middle Ages (Redknap 1999).
The reason why people stopped giving grave
goods may well have been shortage of potery
and food. Van Es (1968, 11) already said and
wrote:
‘The abolishing of grave goods, possibly considered a meaningless - but costly! - conven-
tion by the population, is noticed also in nonChristian circles.’ (Transl. D.St.)
The present study follows Pirling for the date of
the undecorated Trier beakers, up to AD 367, and
in the same time Künzl’s AD 355 (1997, 69-74)
for the decorated ones. The line between potery
periods 1 and 2 may be nearer to the earlier date.
There are no dated graves between AD 367, the
year to which grave B 726 had to be dated because of the presence of two vessels of IVAB and
IVC date, and AD 376, the terminus post quem
for graves B 114, B 135 and B 480, which all contain artefacts of IVd date.
Potery period 1: AD 313-355/367
The vast majority of the graves in both cemeteries is by no means as sharply dated as the ones
mentioned above in the section The beginning, as
appears from the following statistics. The ind
catalogue of cemetery B contains 834 graves,
that of cemetery OO, 489. Out of these 1323
graves, 502 (= 38%) are dated in some way. Out
of these 502 dated graves, 406 (=81%) have both
a terminus post quem (tpq) and a terminus ante
quem (taq); 52 (=10%) only have a tpq, and 44
(=9%) only have a taq. 38 graves (=8%) with only
an early tpq could not be used in the overview of
the dated graves in Appendix 4. So Appendix 4
contains 464 dated graves, which is more than
one-third (35%) of the grand total of 1323. In
other words, the irst problem is, that almost
two-thirds of the graves cannot be dated.
Next problem: most of the potery types of the
fourth century changed litle, and can be dated
no more precisely than to either the irst half or
the irst two-thirds of the century: AD 313-350 or
AD 313-367. Some types even occurred throughout the fourth century, so many graves get the
dates AD 313-400. This shows, by the way, how
stable the Late Roman lourishing-period was.
As a consequence, however, many graves get
one of these three sets of dates. That is not a
good starting point for chronological analysis:
the number of graves with dates in the years 313,
350, 367 and 400 dwarfs everything else. But we
can make a virtue of necessity and use those
399
—
years as reference dates. They are used in Appendix 4 to show the minimum density of the
cemeteries AD 350, 367 and 400.
Two important changes in grave ritual took place
in this potery period 1, but they did not coincide
and therefore have had diferent reasons. First,
most graves were E-W, i.e. with the head to the
east; at the end of period 2, most graves were
W-E; then, the custom of giving a meal or a drink
to the dead died out. We may be sure that burial
with head W came irst: Table 24 shows that
there are 22 W-E graves in cemetery B with pottery and/or glass vessels, and 14 in cemetery OO.
It will be clear that the end of giving grave goods
came ater the disasters of AD 355. The vexed
question of the E-W and the W-E graves will be
treated below in the section Orientations.
Potery period 2: AD 355/367-500
Both cemeteries seem to end with isolated dated inhumations, ater decades without any
graves with artefacts. But isolated in what
sense?: the only graves, or the only graves with
artefacts?
In cemetery OO, these isolated graves are OO
366, dated to AD 364-408 by a large decorated
buckle with associated strap end of type Sommer 1Cb4; OO 29, with its latest coin minted AD
378-383, and dated to AD 378 according to the
rules of coin datings set out in Chapter 3, Explanatory notes to the ind catalogue; and OO 345, dated
to AD 376-400 because of the brick-red colour of
some of its beads. We may safely assume that
cemetery OO went out of use in IVd, possibly as
early as AD 378.
When does the custom of a meal or just a drink
for the dead stop?
Now when we look at the list of dated graves in
Appendix 4, we see that the bulk of graves with
grave goods, i.e. with meals and/or drinks, are
those with a terminus ante quem up to AD 367,
i.e. the irst two-thirds of the fourth century. The
latest dated graves in this Appendix, the iteen
in cemetery B with a terminus post quem of AD
376-440, comprise no more than ive graves
with potery or glass grave goods, the last one
dated to AD 400 (B 114, B 135, B 137, B 480, B
143). When the priestess in B 465 was buried between AD 434 and 450, she received a ‘good old
Roman’ meal in her grave, the irst one ater
more than thirty years.
In cemetery B, the present ind catalogue has six
graves with a tpq of AD 400 or later: B 61, B 143,
B 353, B 365, B 465, and B 798. The latest two of
these are B 465, the priestess’ grave, dated AD
434-450, and the warrior’s grave B 61, dated AD
440-450: his type of axe does not occur before
AD 440.
There ends the Roman period of cemetery B: a
lady of completely mixed Germanic-Roman culture, with large Germanic hairpins, a Germanic
dish ibula with the Roman motif of an interlaced Star of David, the Germanic preference for
old silver Roman coins already noted by Tacitus
(Germania 5; year of appearance: AD 98), Preßblech pendants inspired by a barbaric version of a
Roman medallion, and good old Roman fashion
of Roman potery and glass grave goods, i.e. a
meal for the deceased, long ater this had
stopped in the two Nijmegen cemeteries. Every
inch a Germanic lady, she still may have felt also
every inch a Roman one.
The military man in grave B 61 and the priestess
in B 465 are proudly upholding Roman values,
most probably both in the 440’s. They proclaim
themselves representants of Rome, and seem to
have no idea that Rome’s times were ending.
These are the last dated Roman graves of the
present study of two cemeteries, where not a
single sign of violence can be found. And the Nijmegen peaceful transition from Roman to medieval times is not incidental. This has been argued for the whole of Germania Secunda by Dr
Michael Erdrich, in his inaugural speech as
professor of provincial Roman archaeology at
Nijmegen University (Erdrich 2003).
Not for nothing, the Mayen coarse potery, so
dominantly present in the Nijmegen cemeteries
and on early medieval sites in the Netherlands
(and from Basel to Kent), continued to be produced up to the fourteenth century, making it
diicult to distinguish between Late Roman and
400

early medieval coarse potery (Redknap 1999).
The translatio imperii, the transfer of the empire
from Rome to Germanic kingdoms, was actually
under way in the ith century. It was pronounced in the prologue of the Lex Salica, c.AD
500: the Imperium remains but the bearer
changes (Demandt in: Demandt/Engemann
2007, 42). The phrase itself seems to have been
coined not earlier than the twelth century, by
the historian Oto of Freising, in order to legitimate the Stauian emperors of his time, in his
Chronicon, sive Historia de duabus civitatibus 14, 104f
and 138f (Wood 1997; Kunst 2002). But, avant la
letre, it was already working in the ith century.
And so our region quietly slips from late Antiquity into early Middle Ages. As Derek Williams
puts it in the last paragraph of his Romans and
Barbarians:
‘Perhaps not surprisingly the view of Rome as
a noble lame, quenched by barbarism, is no
longer in fashion. The ‘Dark Ages’ have been
replaced by a creative merger in which Roman
and barbarian combine with unexpected ease
and ... proceed with relative calm into the
‘post-Roman’ or ‘sub-Roman era’. ... Romanobarbarian mergers of the 5th century made
Europe.... (Williams 1999, 212)
And therefore, cemetery B kept on being used.
Van Enckevort et al. (2000b, 27) shows later inds
of recent excavations, to be published by his Archaological Bureau of the municipality of Nijmegen, in two photographs, of the two periods
AD 440-485 and AD 485-530. One photograph
shows four iron axes of Siegmund’s (1998) phase

2, AD 440-485, type FBA 1.1, and an iron lance
point of his phase 3, 485-530, type Siegmund
Lan 1.5. The other photograph (see also Swinkels/Koster 2005, 82 for a clearer one) shows
three grave goods from the same phase 3: a
pointed glass beaker of Siegmund’s type Gla 7.1,
a glass bowl of type Gla 1.4, and a potery jug of
type Kan 1.12 (Siegmund 1998, 204-5, ig. 81). I
agree with the dates proposed in the captions of
these two photographs: around the year 500,
and end of the ith century, respectively.
And there, around AD 500, cemetery B ends. It
should be repeated here what was said in Chapter 11, Typology of the potery and glass vessels: the
presence of complete Frankish carinated vessels
in area G is tantalizing. They come from Siegmund’s phases 3 up to 9, the later being dated
AD 640-670. There may have been Frankish
graves there, but none was found during careful
excavation. The alternative is that they come
from one or more votive deposits. For these reasons, they cannot be used for the demographic
calculation below, which includes the number of
years the cemetery was used. It looks as though
a group of Franks just setled there, without any
continuity with the former setlement or cemetery. Just outside cemetery B, on the Valkhof
itself, there is a small seventh-century Frankish
cemetery: six skeletons, dated AD 620-680,
were excavated by J.J. Weve AD 1910-11 (Bloemers/Thijssen 1990, 143; Thijssen 1983, 13; Ypey
1983).

Ater: continuity between Roman and Carolingian Nijmegen?
Finally, B 661 is the only grave to be dated much
later, AD 701-750. It may be an accidental late
grave, or it may, much less probably, be part of a
continuity that we cannot prove.
The present list of Siegmund’s types cannot be
used on its own to prove continuity between Roman and Carolingian Nijmegen: irstly because
all Frankish pieces treated here are stray inds;
secondly because Siegmund phase 7, AD 585610, is not represented; thirdly and most importantly, because there is a gap of 130 years between the latest Siegmund phase represented,
phase 9, AD 640-670, and Charlemagne’s coronation year AD 800. The question of archaeological continuity is treated by Brunsting (1955)
and by Bloemers/Thijssen (1990).
The development of the name of the city does
suggest such continuity: Noviómagus, Númaga,
Níjmegen, with the stress on the syllable before
the leter m.
Space
The fortress
The gap between cemeteries B in the west and
OO in the east is caused by the setlement itself:
the fortress on the Valkhof. Its northern edge is
the steep slope of the ice-pushed ridge of Nijmegen, which was also used that way by all preceding Roman fortresses to its east (from east to
west and from early to late: Kops Plateau with
Drusus’ headquarters and auxiliary units (Peterse 2005; Willems/Van Enckevort 2009, 35-43),
Hunerberg with the Augustan and Flavian
legionary fortresses, and Trajanusplein with an
auxiliary fortress: Willems et al. 2005, 55-93 with
further literature; Willems/Van Enckevort 2009,
41).
According to Willems/Van Enckevort (2009, 95)
the Constantinian fortress on the Valkhof was
built in wood; in the years AD 368-9 under Valentinian, they say (2009, 97), it was rebuilt in
stone.
As the ice-pushed ridge slopes gently down
southwards, the south side of the fourth-century
fortress on the Valkhof was defended with two
dry moats: see Fig. 22 and the reconstruction
drawing in Straten/Swinkels (2004, 7). These
have been found on (and are nowadays indicated in the pavement of) the square in front of
Museum Het Valkhof, where the more spectacular inds of both cemeteries are exhibited. The
position of the moats is nowadays made unclear
by the presence of a medieval hollow road, the
Voerweg, which was cut between them and the
Valkhof in order to allow traic from the low
lands near the river Waal to enter the high city
and vice versa. Willems/Van Enckevort (2009,
100) describe these lines of defense:
“The inner premises were protected by a heavy
wall and two parallel ditches, the second line
of defense (…). The outer ditch was c.12.5 m
wide and at least 4 m deep. The inner ditch
was over 10 m wide and over 3.5 m deep. Between the two was a ravelin, a bank of c.15 m.
The outer edge of the double ditch was located c.45 m from the demolished castellum wall (a
robber trench c.1.5 m wide, illed with mortar
and small pieces of tuf). This wall probably
formed the outside face of an earthen wall
constructed under Constantine I. The outside
face was not added to the wall until the reign
of Valentinian I. (…) The inner or second line of
defence (…) was complemented by a irst line
farther out from the fort; it too consisted of a
double ditch, parts of which have been excavated on the Eiermarkt and the St. Josephhof.”
The fourth and ith-century fortress itself was
on such a strategic spot, that, possibly apart
from a half-round tower still standing on the
steep slope below the St Nicholas chapel (no oficial publications; suggestion in Nijmegen
newspapers and in a lealet of a walk through
Nijmegen in 2005), nothing was found of it: it
was crushed by the success of its own spot.
Whoever possesses the Valkhof overlooks (and
can shoot at) the bridge(s) over the river Waal.
Charlemagne built an imperial palace on top of
the remains of the Roman fortress. It was largely
403
—
demolished by Barbarossa, who built a new castle, which was inally demolished ater the
French Revolution, when no authority was able
to pay for its maintenance. In World War II, the
German army built a bunker on the edge of the
Valkhof. Like almost all German bunkers, it is
proof against demolition and its top is now in
use as a panoramic platform.
The roads
Roman cemeteries always align with the main
road through the setlement and are outside it.
The main direction of the Roman road through
Nijmegen is ESE-WNW, following the edge of the
ice-pushed ridge on whose northwestern end
most of the city is situated. Both cemeteries begin to be used AD 313. We may therefore consider the two Nijmegen Late Roman cemeteries as
one, belonging to the same setlement: the Late
Roman fortress on the Valkhof. The main direction of the graves, be it generally E-W or W-E
(the irst point of the compass indicating the
direction of the head of the deceased, as always
in this study), aligns with the Roman road parallel to the ridge, nowadays followed by the
Barbarossastraat and the Ubbergseveldweg in
the east (cemetery OO) and the Burchtstraat in
the west (cemetery B).
The Roman S-N roads are usually reconstructed
as follows (Daniëls 1955, 44-6, 271-83; not described in Willems/Van Enckevort 2009, who do
show the roads on maps: 20, ig. 4; 25, ig. 7; 28,
ig. 8). Main road: Cuijk on the river Maas watchtower Heumensoord (Daniëls 1955, 296-9;
Bechert/Willems 1995, 72) - Driehuizerweg Heyendaalseweg - Hertogstraat (formerly Heersteeg, i.e. militairy road: Daniëls 1955, 44) Valkhof. West branch, partly along erosion
valleys: Ziekerstraat (formerly possibly also Hersteeg: Daniëls 1955, 279) - Broerstraat Grotestraat - river Waal. Thus, cemetery B is enclosed by three Roman roads: in the N by the
Burchtstraat, in the S and W by the Ziekerstraat
- Broerstraat, and in the E by the Hertogstraat.
We may even see the paths between diferent
quarters of cemetery B. Fig. 4 gives a helicopter
view of all graves excavated in cemetery B between 1947 and 1976. In area LN, top right, there
is a zone seemingly without graves, running SWNE, joined at its north end by a an area running
NW-SE. Comparison with Fig. 11, the detailed
map of area LN, shows that the areas do have
disturbances of recent or medieval wells and cellars, but that the absence of graves is real in the
areas in between where the virgin soil could be
reached. The paths separate quarters of cemetery B with diferent densities: in the north, an
area of low density with orderly rows of graves
with niches; in the west, an area of higher density; in the east, a swarm of high density. In the
section on status below it will appear that the
north area with its orderly rows has high status,
expressed by numbers of grave goods. To its
east, there is a group of graves of diferent orientation, separated by a zone with no graves, as
appears from Fig. 11.
The reason for both the earlier ending of cemetery OO and the change to a north-south direction as followed by the latest dated grave B 61,
must be that the S-N road along the river Maas
became more important in the later years of the
fourth century. The presence of the fortress at
Cuijk, some 12 km S of Nijmegen on the let bank
of the river Maas, founded by Constantine I and
restored by Valentinian I, testiies to its importance (Bechert/Willems 1995, 72-3; Brulet 1995,
108-9; Van der Heijden 2002, 44-5; Van DrielMurray 2006, 44). By then that road, continued
by the present-day Hertogstraat and Broerstraat, was the second frontier between the Roman Empire and free Germania, called the
Barbaricum on Viatorinus’ tombstone from
Deutz (CIL 13, 08274). It is suggested that the
road from the Valkhof fortress to the east lost its
importance and the east cemetery OO was no
longer used for that reason. The zone along the
Rhine between Castra Herculis (Arnhem-Meinerswijk near Nijmegen: Bechert/Willems 1995, 77)
and Vingo (Bingen near Mainz) was not in Roman hands for a time, as is implied by Ammianus Marcellinus’ remark that Julian recovered
the area AD 359 (18,2,3-4).

Growth of the cemeteries
Cemetery OO
Only the map of cemetery OO betrays immediately how the cemetery grew. Graves from the
irst years, dated between AD 313 and 325, are to
be found in a zone 70 m wide to the south of
and parallel with the Roman road, nowadays
followed by the Barbarossastraat (graves OO 4,
78, 130, 149, 159, 161, 176, 209, 234). This zone
remained in use between AD 326 and 350
(graves OO 9, 20, 42, 58, 63, 71, 88, 101, 103, 106,
109, 151, 152, 168, 169, 170, 186, 197, 199, 201,
207, 250, and 252).
Most graves of that quarter-century, however,
are to be found in a next zone with remarkable
similar orientation, which is 35 m wide (graves
OO 244, 249, 270, 271, 273, 276, 277, 283, 288,
290, 304, 316, 320, 338, 339, 351, 354, 355, 361,
362, 370, 371, 382, 383, 396, 400, 415).
A southernmost zone, 15 m wide, contains
graves of later terminus ante quem (graves OO 426,
433).
Grave OO 447 probably is the southernmost
grave of the cemetery OO in the main excavation
area. The isolated group to its south, numbered
here continuously OO 448-456, may ater all not
be part of cemetery OO. These graves yield no
data as to date, gender, orientation, grave type,
and artefacts; in other words, they remain blank
in any analysis. Below, the group will be let outside the calculation of the number of graves in
the entire cemetery.
Cemetery B
The growth of the west cemetery B is much
more diicult to follow, probably because it began to be used within the junction of the E-W
road near the edge of the ice-pushed ridge,
nowadays followed by Ubbergseveldweg,
Barbarossastraat and Burchtstraat, with the W
branch of the S-N road, nowadays the Broerstraat. The oldest two pieces of potery, with
barbotine on them, were found just there; they
have been discussed above, in the section
Chronology, The beginning. The identiiable graves
of the irst quarter century, i.e. AD 313-325, are
few and far between, from N via E to S: in area D,
graves B 22, 140 and 176; in area LN, graves B
180, 297 and 298; in area G, the sarcophagus of
the Grutberg, numbered B 620; and none in area
M. These seven oldest graves are widely scattered within a square with sides of some 150 m
and its NW corner at the junction BroerstraatBurchtstraat. Graves with later terminus ante
quem are to be found in this entire square. Apart
from the one late grave B 798, area M only has
graves with terminus ante quem between AD
350 and AD 367.
Finally, the few identiiable graves of the following 75 years, between AD 376 and 450, seem indeed to follow the N-S road, today the Broerstraat: graves B 61, 91, 114, 135, 137, 143, 353, 365,
465, and 480, are all in the west half of the
cemetery.
But one grave adds another zone in the east,
near the southeast corner of the already enlarged square, grave B 798. But it should be
stressed that the easternmost grave, the undated B 800, is even some 20 m further east than B
798, and that new excavations between the
years 1998 and 2000, to be published by the Bureau of Archaeology of the municipality of Nijmegen, went 30 m further east and discovered
hundreds of graves.
All this adds up to a rectangle with sides of some
200x230m. And if southernmost graves B 829
and 830, not shown on any other map, were indeed Late Roman ones, that would add another
zone of 40 m in the south. However, their nature
is so unclear (see ind catalogue) that they cannot be used in the calculations of the total
number of graves, to be performed below.
Family plots
The growth of cemetery OO (Figure 21) makes it
possible to discern three certain and three possible plots where the oldest graves are lying in
the middle and the later graves keep a respectful
distance. The certain examples are those where
OO 159-161, OO 149 and 176, and OO 207 and
209 are the oldest nuclei. The three possible nuclei of such plots are OO 4, OO 78, and OO 129-
405
—
130. Things are diferent around the early grave
OO 234, which is part of an isolated cluster. The
two rich ladies’ graves OO 250 and 252 are surrounded by empty space.
Similar plots can be recognized in cemetery B:
around B 176 and around B 40 in area D (Figure
8), around B 297 and 298 in area LN (Figure 11),
and around B 620 in area M (Figure 16).
It is suggested that all these are family plots.
The cuts between graves possibly are due to
cramped space in such plots. The other suggested reason for the cuts is: graves can hardly have
been visible above ground; no markers whatsoever were found.
of this building block. This curved end gives a
pear shape to cemetery OO (Fig. 22). The area of
virgin soil excavated of the cemetery itself is
4,800 m2 (not counting the empty areas of the
excavation south of graves OO 385 an OO 447),
to be divided by the 480 graves excavated (not
counting the southern group OO 448-456),
neatly 10 m2 per grave. The total area of cemetery OO, 15,900 m2, divided by 10, gives a
staggering total of 1,590 graves for cemetery OO,
assuming the concentration is the same overall.
Below, it is calculated that cemetery B has a
higher density, of one grave per 7 m2. The obvious reason is, that cemetery B remained in use
for another 120 years ater cemetery OO stopped
being used.
Population size
The number of burials
Cemetery OO
Both Willems (1990, 82) and Van Enckevort et al.
(2000a, 107) put the total number of burials in
cemetery OO at a maximum of 850. Looking at
the map of cemetery OO (Fig. 21), we perform
the calculations ourselves. The northern, western and southern boundaries of the cemetery
can be discerned. The northern boundary is a
curved line between graves OO 15 and OO 6 in
the main excavation area and OO 457 in the
Hugo de Grootstraat. (Graves OO 5 and 6 are
north of the southern ditch of an older Roman
road.) The western boundary runs from graves
OO 15 to OO 385; and the southern boundary,
from OO 385 via OO 447 in the main excavation
area to OO 489 in the Hugo de Grootstraat (we
leave the group OO 448-456 out for the reasons
given above). This southern boundary runs along
the southernmost grave in a recent excavation
trench of the Nijmegen Municipal Bureau for
Archaeology, to be published later. We need an
area east of the Hugo de Grootstraat, because
that is the eponymous terrain OO, where the
irst stray inds turned up in great numbers in
the early 1900’s. No fourth-century graves or
grave goods have ever come to light to the east
Cemetery B
How many burials could have taken place in
cemetery B? This number can be estimated in
two steps: dividing the area investigated by the
number of graves found = 1 grave per X m2.
Secondly, by dividing the total area of the cemetery by X.
Reality is more complicated here. First, we calculate the total surface of the virgin soil that was
found with Late Roman graves in it, i.e. by
subtracting the surface of the later disturbances
from the total area of the excavation trenches.
This is the inner city of Nijmegen, with much
more later building activity than on cemetery
OO. Smetius’ moto of our book discusses just
that.
In area D, some 822 m2 of virgin soil are visible
on the map, in area LN, 3,200 m2, in area G 323
m2, and in area M 1,462 m2, adding up to 5,787
m2. These 5,787 m2 of virgin soil divided by the
833 graves found in it gives 1 grave per almost 7
m2.
If the area of the rectangle with sides of 230x200
m = 46,000 m2 was completely and evenly illed
with graves, one per almost 7 m2, then there
were originally 6,621 graves in cemetery B. As
the map of area M shows that the west corner of
the rectangle of cemetery B is empty, we round
of at 6,500 burials. This is lower than the unex-
406
—
plained estimate of 7,500-10,000 given by Van
Enckevort et al. (2000b, 26), but considerably
higher than the estimate of 1,400-1,500 (Wynia
in: Noviomagus 1979, 66; Willems 1990, 82), given before the 1998-99 excavations.
The total estimated amount of graves in the two
cemeteries of the Valkhof setlement is therefore 1,590 for cemetery OO plus 6,500 for cemetery B = 8,090 graves.
Calculations, results and comparisons
How large was the community that used the two
cemeteries? The formula to calculate this is
P = k +
D x e00
,
t
where P is what we are looking for: the average
size of the living population, k is a correction factor of 10% of the fraction number in order to
compensate for the general under-representation of children (Dollhopf 2002), D is the estimated total number of dead (= 8,090), e00 is the
life expectancy at birth, and t is the number of
years during which the cemetery was used (AD
313-500 = 188 years; formula from Acsádi/
Nemeskéri 1970, 65-6; amply discussed in
Steures 1988, 94-8).
Two values for e00 will be used here: the value of
28.03 years for cemetery OO found in Chapter 7,
The living poulation, and a theoretical one. The
theoretical value of 21.11 years for e00 in the Roman Empire was extrapolated by A.J. Coale
(19832) from Ulpian’s life table (Ulpian, cited by
Aemilius Macer, Dig. 35,2,68pr). Bruce Frier
(1982) has eloquently defended Coale’s value
against criticism. More recent literature on this
value is found in Scheidel (1996, 117, n. 62).
This completes the values to be fed into the
formula. So, assuming that the population was
stable from beginning to end, the lower estimate, using the value of 21.11 for e00, is
8,090 x 21.11
Population = 91 +
= 999 persons,
188
and the higher estimate, using the value of 28.03
for e00 found in Chapter 7, The living population, is
8,090 x 28.03
Population = 121 +
= 1,327 persons.
188
The lower estimate agrees perfectly with the educated guess of a maximum of 1,000 in the fourth
century, by Straten and Swinkels (2004, 7).
Bloemers (1990, 76; cited by Buijtendorp 2003,
207, n.11) calculates a population of 675-1,200
people for the irst-century Early Roman setlement on the same Valkhof. Buijtendorp (pers.
comm.) estimates a population of 1,000 people
for second-century Forum Hadriani, the Roman
town near The Hague. Recent voluminous studies of the limes on Dutch territory (Colenbrander
2005) and of Forum Hadriani (Jonge et al. 2006)
are silent on population size.
A much higher estimate is the number of 3,000
for the population of Ulpia Noviomagus, the Roman town to the W of the Valkhof, calculated
from its cemetery by Brunsting (1937, 17; not
5,000 as in Willems/van Enckevort 2009, 74, n.
35), who assumes its number of graves to be
12,500 and the years of use 170 (AD 70-240;
Brunsting 1937, 3). Had he been able to use this
formula and Coale’s life expectancy at birth of
21.11, he would have arrived at 1,707. Had he
moreover used the lifespan for Ulpia Noviomagus found in the more recent literature, AD 70270 (Noviomagus 1979, 57, 62; Willems 1990, 63,
70; Willems et al. 2005, 104; Willems/van Enckevort 2009, 74), the number would have even
gone down to 1,451. And now that it has been
argued above that Ulpia Noviomagus existed AD
70-313, its population could be estimated between 1.189 (for a life expectancy at birth of
21.11) and 1.580 (for the value of 28.03).
However, it has become clear in recent years that
407
—
what Brunsting published in 1937 was only the
south part of the Ulpia Noviomagus cemetery
west of the present-day railway line to Arnhem,
and that the cemetery, and so also the living
population, was much larger (Brunsting himself
was aware of inds farther east: 1937, 11; Willems
et al. 2005, 48, ig. 19 no 6; Willems/van Enckevort 2009, 25, ig. 7 no 6). Koster (2010, 11) describes the area as follows: ‘.. the cemetery of
Noviomagus extended over a length of 450 m
between the two roads to the south (...) and
along the road to the east, on both sides 150200 m over a length of c.1 km. On that base, the
area of the cemetery of Noviomagus may be estimated at c.40 hectares’ (= 400,000 m2). This
results in her estimates of 40,000 graves if the
density was, as Brunsting estimated, 1 grave per
10 m2; and 30,000 with a density of 1 grave per 13
m2, as was the case in more recently excavated
parts. Her values for t, the number of years during which the cemetery was used, are 200 if Ulpia Noviomagus existed AD 70-270, and 245 if it
lasted AD 70-315. Her margins for life espectancy
at birth being 20 and 40 years, the maximum in
every of her four results is twice the minimum,
and her population estimates for Ulpia Noviomagus vary as widely as 2,700 up to 8,800.
In order to narrow this down to one estimate, I
assume the following values for the above formula. D = 30,000; e00 = 28.03, as calculated
above for Late Roman times; t = 243, as argued
above. This brings my estimate for the population of Ulpia Noviomagus to 4,350. I hasten to
add Koster’s reservation (2010, 11): for lack of
data, it must be presumed that the population
remained more or less constant; this will certainly not have been the case in reality.
It has been argued above that some use of settlement and cemetery of Ulpia Noviomagus remained in the fourth century, by people of Roman material culture, at least up to Valentinian
times. Their number will not have exceeded
some tens.
The conclusion is, that the population of Ulpia
Noviomagus had shrunk to some 1,100 by AD
313, when the large majority was resetled on the
Valkhof on the occasion of Constantine’s second
Frankish campaign of June and July that year.
This tallies with the estimate in Willems/van
Enckevort (2009, 124), that the total population
in Late Roman times was only 25% of that in the
mid-Roman.
Estimates without calculations
Estimates not based on demographic calculations give the following numbers for Noviomagus: ‘probably never surpassing 5,000’ (Bogaers,
Noviomagus 1979, 61); ‘the total population may
have counted some 10,000, half of them soldiers’ (Willems 1990, 71, taking Noviomagus and
the legionary fortress of Legio X Gemina (AD 71104) together). Willems et al. (2005, 180) do not
mention a number for Noviomagus, but quote
estimates for the entire Batavian population,
whose capital Noviomagus was: 40,000 up to an
improbable 120,000. The same numbers are
given by Willems/van Enckevort (2009, 114-5).
Finally, the same calculation as above, on the assumption that the only dated eighth-century
grave B 661 was part of a continuity (i.e. that the
cemetery stayed in use during the 438 years between AD 313 and 750), gives a living population
of at least 429 and at most 570 people. These
low numbers show how improbable such a continuity is. B 661 must be an isolated eighth-century inhumation in the midst of a cemetery that
had been out of use for centuries.
Graves and their contents
Graves, niches and coins
Possible correlations between the shape of the
graves and other factors were tested by means
of making bar diagrams, but none were found.
An exception is the presence of a niche, which is
of course correlated with the presence of grave
goods, though not in all 137 certain cases. There
were seven certainly empty niches in cemetery
B, which was excavated by hand, and four possibly so in cemetery OO, where the planes were
made by mechanical digger: they may either
408
—
have contained completely perishable goods or
may have been empty, with a practical or symbolic meaning that escapes us. The certainly
empty niches of cemetery B were in graves B 7, B
69, B 564, B 581, B 619, B 643, B 746; the possibly empty niches of cemetery OO were in OO 99,
OO 143, OO 395, OO 440. Moreover, there are
nine graves where the presence of a niche is uncertain, listed in the section on niches in Chapter
13.
It was hoped that the lengths of the grave trenches
would correlate with gender and age, and that
their bar diagrams would show four peaks
correlated with girls, boys, women and men.
They did not and are not shown here. Nor is the
length of the grave trench a predictor of the
presence of grave goods: every length has the
same chance.
It was expected that the depths of the grave trenches would correlate with the presence of grave
goods, but also every depth has the same
chance. It must be remarked that the depth of
shat grave 217 in Cologne Jacobsstraße, 270 cm,
not treated as exceptional by Haberey (1934), is
never equalled by the graves in Nijmegen, although the Cologne graves have the same niches, potery and sarcophagi as Nijmegen.
The study of a possible relation between the
lengths of the coins and gender, which in itself
again had a negative result, unexpectedly yielded the positive result for a diferent factor in
both cemeteries. Both bar diagrams, shown in
Graphs 3 (for cemetery B) and 4 (for cemetery
OO), have two distinct curves: a low curve from
the smallest coins up to 160 cm, and a high one
above 160 cm. We see clearly that the deviding
line between coins for children and those for
juveniles/adults is at 160 cm. Coin length
should not be confused with body length: 160
cm is not much below the average length of
adults of the time.
So the two positive but unsurprising results are:
a niche will contain grave goods in most cases;
coins up to 160 cm are for children.
Grave goods
At irst sight, there seems to be no standard layout within the graves for the combination of
grave goods, i.e. vessels, mostly potery and
some glass, for food and drink for the dead. Table 25, however, tells a diferent tale for the
large-scale layout of grave goods in the cemeteries as a whole. Grave goods are translated
there into dishes (in the sense of courses of a
meal) and drinks: beakers, botles and jugs (and
glass splinters, assumed to be of botles or beakers) into drinks; plates, dishes, jars, bowls and
cooking-pots, into dishes, presented either like
on a dinner table in ine wares, or as coming directly from the kitchen in coarse ware. Following
Pirling, it is assumed that Gellep 57 is a jar not a
beaker. Table 25 shows a baling parallellism
between cemeteries B and OO both in percentages and numbers. It is as if the numbers of
drinks and dishes relect a strict, almost military
hierarchy. The Valkhof was ater all a fortiied
setlement and not without soldiers with their
crossbow ibulae.
The implications have been analysed with the
use of distribution maps. They lead us to the
subject of status within the community.
Excursus 1: cemetery OO Frankish?!
It has been repeatedly suggested recently that
the Roman cemetery OO would belong to a
supposed Frankish setlement on the corner of
the St Canisiussingel and the Berg en Dalseweg,
the evidence being an unpublished building of
4x2.5 m excavated there in 1990 (excavation
photo: Enckevort et al. 2000a, 106; Willems et al.
2005, 136, ig. 56; Willems/van Enckevort 2009,
101, ig. 34). The barn was declared Frankish because it is a sunken-loored building, the remaining depth being 1 m (cf. for such Germanic
buildings Lamarcq/Rogge 1996, 127, ig. 27; Carroll 2001, 143-7, ig. 59). It contained pieces of
burnt daub, interpreted as remains of an oven
for baking bread, and Roman coins, dated either
c.330-335 AD or IVbc. It is apparently part of a
larger setlement, of which unspeciied building
traces and several hundreds of fourth-century

Roman coins came to light in the Gerard Noodtstraat, likewise unpublished. “It was probably
inhabited by Franks, setled here by the Roman
authorities in order to defend the northern frontier of the Empire” (van Enckevort et al. 2000a,
103-5, 108). “Just as in the cemetery of the inner
city, the bronze belt sets and heavy crossbow
ibulae are typical of Frankish soldiers” (Van
Enckevort et al. 2005, 137, 218-9; Willems/van
Enckevort 2009, 100, 126, 146).
My arguments against these interpretations are
the following.
Firstly, a single barn built in a Germanic way
does not make an entire unexcavated setlement Frankish. Not a single Frankish sherd was
410
—
found, and the barn burnt down long before
Frankish times.
Secondly, if indeed the users of cemetery OO
were indigenous people, they did not take on an
indigenous material identity, but they used exclusively things Roman, and so they were Romans to all intents and purposes. An example:
bronze belt sets and crossbow ibulae, used
along the entire northern frontier of the Late Roman Empire, are deinitely Roman not Frankish
(Ypey 1969, Swit 2000). Consular diptychs show
crossbow ibulae being proudly worn by the
highest oicials in Rome (Buchem 1966). Moreover, the authors assume wrongly, that all crossbow ibulae are to be dated to the second half of
the fourth century (Willems/Van Enckevort 2009,
126). It has been shown in Chapter 12 that they
were present right from the start of both cemeteries: ten out of fourteen can only be dated to
the irst half of the century or up to AD 355; the
other four are present from AD 330 onward.
Thirdly and most importantly, the similarity of
the cemeteries B and OO shows that they belong
to the same Roman setlement on the Valkhof.
They both began to be used AD 313 and everything is identical: the exclusively Roman vessel
typology, the dress accessories, the shape of the
graves, the food on the plates, and the distribution of food and drink, of Roman coins, and of
status, OO overall even being slightly higher in
status than B: see below.
Last but not least, the idea of Roman soldiers
defending the frontier, but living in an unfortiied peasant village, runs counter to everything
we know about Roman military history and the
ubiquitous fourth-century Roman fortiications.
Cemetery OO is deinitely Roman and belongs to
the fortress on the Valkhof.
Status
In a cemetery, status is equal to the amount of
capital destroyed during burial. Social control
will help to bring aspired status in a cemetery in
balance with actual status within the community, which is determined by the percentage of
the community ‘equal to’ and ‘below’ one; in
other words, by the status percentile score.
For the investigation of status, irst three partial
analyses will be discussed below: the number of
dishes, the number of drinks, and the number of
glass vessels.
Then the distribution of two obviously expensive ways of burying is discussed: stone sarcophagi and outer coins giving the impression of a
chamber tomb.
Then, obviously expensive objects are shortly
touched: for women, tutulus ibulae and wooden chests; for men, crossbow ibulae.
Finally, an overall analysis of all graves was
made. The criteria for that analysis are discussed
below.
For each of these analyses, distribution maps
were made of both cemeteries. These maps are
not shown here; instead, the images they give
are described. Overall status distribution maps
are however given in Figs. 23 and 24.
Number of dishes
In cemetery B, there are 706 graves without any food
(85% of 834 graves); 70 graves (8%) with 1 dish
each; 38 graves (4.6%) with 2 dishes; 12 graves
(1.4%) with 3; 4 graves (0.5%) with 4; 3 graves
(0.4%) with 5 dishes; and 1 grave (0.1%) with 6
dishes. Clearly, 1-2 dishes amount to some food, 3-6
dishes to much food. So, some food was found in
12.6% of the graves, and much food in 2.4%.
In potery period 1, there are two areas in cemetery
B of graves with much food.
The irst is the NW corner of the cemetery, i.e.
the corner between the present-day W-E Burchtstraat and the N-S Broerstraat, the sites of the
former Broerkerk with its cloister and the area
just E of the town hall (Figs. 8, 11): 13 graves with
much food: B 54 (with 4 dishes), B 86 (with 3), B
90 (3), B 150 (4), B 176 (5), B 177 (3), B 182 (4), B
183 (3), B 184 (3), B 189 (5), B 207 (3), B 216 (4), B
234 (with 3 dishes). The site of the town hall itself belonged to this rich area, as appears from
the abundance of stray pieces found there: B
stray 77-127.
The smaller second area with much food is
around the Mariënburg chapel, with 4 graves
411
—
(Fig. 18; B 674 (with 3 dishes), B 715 (with 3), B
764 (6), B 779 (with 3 dishes)).
There is an area in the middle of the cemetery
without any food: the south of area LN, especially trench 142 (Fig. 7) and the entire area G
(Fig. 16).
The rest of cemetery B shows a homogeneous
spread of graves of potery period 1 with some
food.
In potery period 2, two graves in the same NW
area have some food (B 135 with 2 dishes, B 137
with 1). The unique late grave B 465 has no less
than 4 dishes and is in the area that had no food
at all in potery period 1.
In cemetery OO, which has only vessels of potery
period 1, there are 395 graves without any food
(81% of 489 graves); 50 graves (10%) with 1 dish
each; 36 graves (7.4%) with 2 dishes; 11 graves
(2.2%) with 3; 1 grave (0.2%) with 4; 5 graves
(1.0%) with 5; 1 grave (0.2%) with 6 dishes; and 1
grave (0.2%) with 8 dishes. Here too, 1-2 dishes
amount to some food, 3-8 dishes to much food. So,
some food was found in 17.4% of the graves,
and much food in 2.9%.
Here, a large central area has 15 graves with
much food: OO 101 (with 6 dishes), OO 133 (with
3), OO 144 (5), OO 161 (3), OO 168 (8), OO 170 (3),
OO 176 (5), OO 186 (5), OO 200 (5), OO 249 (3),
OO 250 (3), OO 322 (3), OO 339 (3), OO 354 (4),
and OO 361 (with 3 dishes). Moreover, there are
two outliers in the NW area with much food: OO
26 (with 5 dishes), OO 71 (with 3); and two outliers in the E area of the Hugo de Grootstraat:
OO 472 (with 3 dishes), and OO 476 (with 3).
The rest of cemetery OO shows a homogeneous
spread of graves, all of potery period 1, with
some food.
Comparison: there is a higher percentage of
graves in cemetery OO with some food (17.4%,
as against 12.6% in cemetery B) and those with
much food (2.9%, as against 2.4%). A slight status diference to the advantage of cemetery OO
between the two cemeteries can be detected in
the number of dishes in the graves.
Number of drinks
In cemetery B, there are 673 graves without any
drinks (81% of 834 graves); 92 graves (11%) with
1 drink each; 42 graves (5%) with 2 drinks; 17
graves (2%) with 3; 5 graves (0.4%) with 4; 3
graves (0.4%) with 5; 1 grave (0.1%) with 6; and 1
grave with 7 drinks (0.1%).
Clearly, 1-2 drinks amount to some drinks, 3-7
drinks to many drinks. So, some drinks were
found in 16% of the graves, and many drinks in
3%.
In potery period 1, the same two areas in cemetery
B of graves with much food also have graves
with many drinks: the NW corner and area M
around the Mariënburg chapel.
The NW corner of the cemetery (Figs. 8, 11) has
10 graves with many drinks: B 16 (with 3 drinks),
B 59 (with 5), B 150 (3), B 177 (3), B 182 (4), B 183
(3), B 196 (3), B 197 (4), B 216 (3), and B 218 (with
6 drinks). Again, the site of the town hall belonged to this rich area, as appears from the
abundance of stray pieces found there: B stray
77-127.
The second area, with no less than sixteen
graves with many drinks, is around the Mariënburg chapel: B 674 (with 3 drinks), B 680 (with
4), B 686 (3), B 697 (5), B 701 (3), B 702 (4), B 704
(7), B 705 (3), B 706 (4), B 708 (3), B 723 (3), B 728
(3), B 741 (5), B 742 (3), B 751 (3), and B 764 (with
3 drinks).
In between, there is one grave with many drinks:
B 512 (with 3 drinks).
The rest of cemetery B shows a homogeneous
spread of graves of potery period 1 with some
drinks. This time, area G does take part in this
spread, whereas it does not have any graves
with food. It is as if giving food was not done in
the part of the community using area G and the
south of area LN, whereas giving drinks was
done.
In potery period 2, four graves in the same NW
corner have drinks: B 114 (with 1 drink), B 135
(with 1), B 137 (1), B 143 (with 3 drinks); and two
graves in the S of area LN have drinks: B 465
(with 1 drink) and B 480 (with 1).
In cemetery OO, which has only vessels of potery
412
—
period 1, there are 364 graves without any drinks
(74.4% of 489 graves); 72 graves (14.7%) with 1
drink each; 39 graves (8.0%) with 2 drinks; 8
graves (1.6%) with 3; 3 graves (0.6%) with 4; 1
grave (0.2%) with 5; 1 grave (0.2%) with 6 drinks;
and 1 grave (0.2%) with 7 drinks. Here too, 1-2
drinks amount to some drinks, 3-8 drinks to many
drinks. So, some drinks were found in 22.7% of
the graves, and many drinks in 1.2%.
Here, the same large central area we saw in the
preceding section has nine graves with many
drinks: OO 144 (with 3 drinks), OO 151 (with 3),
OO 176 (7), OO 200 (3), OO 242 (3), OO 250 (6),
OO 252 (4), OO 290 (5), and OO 339 (with 4
drinks). Moreover, there is one outlier in the N
area with many drinks: OO 9 (with 3 drinks); and
there is a second area of four graves with many
drinks in the E area of the Hugo de Grootstraat:
OO 463 (with 3 drinks), OO 467 (with 3), OO 478
(4), OO 481 (with 3 drinks).
Comparison: there is a higher percentage of
graves in cemetery OO with some drinks (22.7%,
as against 16% in cemetery B); but cemetery B
has a higher percentage of graves with many
drinks than cemetery OO (3%, as against 1.2%).
These two statistics cancel each other: no status
diference between the two cemeteries can be
detected in the number of drinks in the graves.
Number of glass vessels
Glass vessels, being much rarer than potery,
must have had a higher price.
In cemetery B, there are 780 graves without any
glass vessels (93.5% of 834 graves); 40 graves
(4.8%) with 1 glass vessel each; 10 graves (1.2%)
with 2 vessels; 3 graves (0.4%) with 3; and 1
grave (0.1%) with 5 glass vessels.
Clearly, 1 glass vessel amounts to just a glass vessel, 2-5 to many glass vessels. So, just a glass vessel
was found in 4.8% of the graves, and many vessels in 1.7%.
In potery period 1, the same two areas in cemetery
B of graves with many vessels emerge as in the
two preceding sections: the NW corner and area
M around the Mariënburg chapel. This time, the
later one takes the lead.
The NW corner of the cemetery (Figs. 8, 11) has 3
graves with many glass vessels: B 150, B 197 and
B 218, with 2 glass vessels each.
The leading area of (eleven) graves with many
glass vessels is around the Mariënburg chapel: B
663 (with 2 glass vessels), B 674 (with 2), B 680
(3), B 697 (3), B 701 (3), B 704 (5), B 705 (2), B 706
(2), B 726 (2), B 728 (2), and B 763 (with 2 glass
vessels).
The remaining area of cemetery B has a homogeneous spread of graves with just a glass vessel.
In potery period 2, only the hard core of the NW
area has three graves with one or more glass
vessels; and the unique late grave has one: B 135
(with 1 glass vessel), B 137 (with 1), B 143 (with 3);
and B 465 (with 1 glass vessel).
In cemetery OO, which has only vessels of potery
period 1, there are 463 graves without any glass
vessels (94.7% of 489 graves); 18 graves (3.7%)
with 1 vessel each; 4 graves (0.8%) with 2 vessels; 3 graves (0.6%) with 3; and 1 grave (0.2%)
with 4.
Here too, 1 glass vessel amounts to just a glass
vessel, 2-4 to many glass vessels. So, just a glass
vessel was found in 3.7% of the graves, and
many in 1.6%.
Here, the same large central area we saw in the
preceding sections has six graves with many
glass vessels: OO 242 (with 2 glass vessels), OO
250 (with 3), OO 252 (3), OO 290 (3), OO 339 (2),
OO 400 (with 2 glass vessels).
Moreover, there is one outlier in the N area with
many glass vessels: OO 9 (with 4); and there is
one grave with many glass vessels in the E area
of the Hugo de Grootstraat: OO 473 (with 2).
The remaining area of cemetery OO has a homogeneous spread of graves with just a glass vessel.
Comparison: there is a somewhat higher percentage of graves in cemetery B with just a glass vessel (4.8%, as against 3.7% in cemetery OO); the
percentage of graves with many glass vessels is
all but the same: 1.7% in B, 1.6% in OO. No status
diference between B and OO can be detected.

large crossbow ibula OO 161.6 suggest that it was in the

Inventory of grave OO 271. The presence of the large crossbow ibula OO 271.4 and bronze buckle OO 271.5 suggest
they were in the grave of a military oicer.
Expensive ways of burying
Sarcophagi
Stone sarcophagi, however crudely made, must
represent a great amount of money for material,
labour and transport costs. They are only found
in the middle area of cemetery B, exactly the zone
where it was not done to put food in the graves:
the south of area LN and the whole of area G.
They are found in no more than six children’s
graves: B 458, B 536, B 580, B 601, B 620, B 627.
The two stray sarcophagi in the area of cemetery
B (B stray 156, B stray 280) probably do not belong to that cemetery and were meant for
adults.
Expensive objects
For women
Tutulus ibulae
Conspicuous silver tutulus ibulae were found in
graves B 620 (1), B 798 (1 or 2), and OO 362 (1).
Outer wooden coins
Outer coins have the same purpose as niches
(Haberey 1934, 278): to give the grave the appearance of a miniature chamber tomb.
There is only one grave with outer coin in cemetery B, in area M, which also has much food,
many drinks and many glass vessels: B 704. It
represents 0.2% of the 834 graves of cemetery
B.
Cemetery OO, on the other hand, has no less than
7 graves (1.4% of 489) with outer coins: OO 101,
OO 103, OO 144, OO 161, OO 231, OO 250, and OO
354. They are all lying in the large central area
that has graves with much food, many drinks,
and many glass vessels.
Wooden chests
There are ive ladies’ graves in cemetery B with a
wooden chest (0.6% of 834 graves): B 26, B 207,
B 293, B 320, and B 701. They were all found in
areas we already know as areas with rich graves:
the irst ive in the NW area, the last in area M.
In cemetery OO, there are nine ladies’ graves with
wooden chests (1.8% of 489 graves): OO 24, OO
103, OO 144, OO 250, OO 252, OO 301, OO 305,
OO 339 and OO 361. Eight of these graves are in
the large central area with rich graves, OO 24 being an outlier in the NW.
For men
Crossbow ibulae
Of the crossbow ibulae found in four graves of
cemetery B (0.5% of 834 graves: B 167, B 345, B
409, B 782), two come from the NW area with
rich graves, and the other two from otherwise
undistinguished areas. Numerically and in
percentage, they are in contrast to those from
nine graves in cemetery OO (1.8% of 489 graves:
OO 161, OO 248, OO 271, OO 283, OO 415, OO
426, OO 437, OO 461, OO 467). Seven are in an

Unique pieces
Having something that no one else in town has
gives status. The unique pieces are not only
those that are thus named in Chapter 12, but
also all well-known types that occur only in one
grave each.
OO 250, the richest grave of all, in the more military cemetery OO, may be that of the military commander’s wife.
Overall status analysis: calculations and results
For the overall analysis, a system of status marks
was devised. For every vessel, a grave gets one
mark, plus an extra one for every glass vessel.
For each object, mostly ornaments, made of
bronze, bone, glass or iron, one mark was given,
plus two extra ones for a crossbow ibula and for
an axe. For a silver or sapropelite object, two
marks were given, plus two extra ones for a tu-

tulus ibula. For a gold ornament, four marks
were given (a set of ear-rings gets four marks,
one gold ear-ring gets two). For a set of small
precious stones, three marks. For each bead ornament, one mark. For a wooden chest, three
marks. For a coin, either without or with small
money value at the time of burial, 0.2 mark was
given. For every other object, one mark apiece.
For each unique piece, not only those treated
under that name in Chapter 12 but also wellknown types occurring only in one grave, an extra mark per object was given. Potery types occurring once were not counted as unique pieces
because of their low value: tomb robbers in antiquity did not deign to take potery away.
As for expensive ways of burying, a sarcophagus
gets ten marks, an outer coin four, and a niche
one.
448 graves in potery period 1 got status marks,
and 17 graves in period 2.
The outcome of this overall status analysis is
shown in Tables 26 and 27: a strongly hierarchical
society. These tables do not show the 1323(448+17)=858 graves that did not get any mark.
In potery period 1 (Table 26), the distribution of
graves with 1 up to 11 marks dwindles from 121
down to 7 graves. Beyond the demarcation line of
11 marks, there are only very low numbers of
graves. The highest grave but two, B 298 of the
Sabazios worshipper, owes its high position of 31
marks largely to 4 unique pieces, 10 bone hairpins
and 55 coins. Way up beyond that, two graves are
at the top: the Grutberg sarcophagus B 620 with
44.2 marks and the lady’s grave OO 250 with 45.2.
The lady and the girl represent the absolute top of
the community.
I tend to see the lady in OO 250 as the commander’s wife (the grave of her husband, the praepositus
as his title would have been in Constantinian
times, probably lying in the small unexcavated
area to the immediate west of her grave), and the
girl in B 620 as the daughter of the top civil administator. Their families had good reason to compete, as we will see below: they probably came
from two quite diferent areas.
In potery period 2 (Table 27), only a shadow of
this stratiication remains, the warrior in B 61 ending in second place with 25.2 marks and the
priestess in B 465 with 35.2 in irst.

Status and space
Cemetery B is divided in three E-W status zones,
whereas cemetery OO has a central area of higher status.
In cemetery B (Fig. 23), the irst E-W status zone is
formed by areas D and the north half of area LN
with the following graves of nine marks or more:
B 176 (9 marks), B 150 (10), B 59 (22.4), B 180
(16.4), B 196 (10), B 197 (13), B 216 (9), B 218 (13.2),
B 293 (9), B 320 (9), and B 298 (31 marks, mainly
due to coins and religious bric à brac).
The second E-W status zone, to the south of the
irst one, is formed by the south half of area LN
and the whole of area G. Here, the top grave B
620, the sarcophagus of the Grutberg (44.2
marks) is lying in splendid isolation. The other
graves with many marks are all empty sarcophagi: B 458, B 536, B 580, B 610 and B 627. This is
the area where no food was given in the graves.
The third and southernmost status zone is to the
north and west of the Mariënburg chapel in area
M with the following graves of nine marks or
more: B 680 (16 marks), B 701 (21), B 704 (27), B
723 (9), and B 764 (11).
The undisputed centre of cemetery OO (Fig. 24) is
the triangle of the rich graves OO 250 (45.2
marks), OO 252 (20) and OO 290 (14 marks). This
centre is however not exclusive: it also contains
graves OO 251, 291 and 292, each without any
mark. Around this centre, the following relatively
rich graves are lying in an irregular rectangle,
Terra sigillata plate and restored wooden bucket from grave
B 704. The grave chamber, the barrel-shaped bucket and
the many glass vessels in the grave give a caddish socialclimber impression of a Romanized Germanic man.
clockwise: OO 101 (20 marks), OO 103 (11), OO
186 (11), OO 382 (9.2), OO 354 (11), OO 362 (10.2),
OO 361 (10), OO 339 (21.2), OO 271 (9.2), OO 161
(13), OO 168 (13.2), and OO 144 (21 marks). This
wide central area also contains many graves
with fewer marks or none at all. Two groups of
graves with no marks at all are conspicuously
near the rich centre: to its north OO 224-8, and
to its east OO 253-7, 293-8 and 325-8. The conclusion must be that status does not play an exclusive role in the division of space in cemetery
OO.
What does this all mean? The sarcophagus of
the Grutberg shows that the middle status zone
of cemetery B, with the sarcophagus of the Grutberg B 620 with its tambourine sticks having top
status, was used by a small group of rich people
who came from the southeast: the distribution
area of the sarcophagi, apart from Nijmegen itself, lies between Bregenz on the Lake of Konstanz and Cologne; the distribution area of tambourine sticks is from northern Italy to Gellep. In
the middle status zone, W-E inhumations were
the rule right from the start; giving food was not
done.
Two well-of groups competed with each other
in the north and south status zones. They started
419
—
with E-W graves, but later on they made W-E
graves.
In cemetery OO, there was a small rich centre,
around which there was a wider, more or less
rectangular zone of rich graves. These two concentric areas were, however, also used by people
who did not leave a trace of status in the graves
they dug. The fact that almost four times as
many graves as in cemetery B contained crossbow ibulae suggests that the military felt more
atracted to cemetery OO as their place of burial.
One more fact points into the same direction: a
glance at Table 26, which gives the status distribution in both cemeteries, shows what would
happen when one of the two cemeteries were
eliminated from it. The status table for cemetery
OO would still give the same picture, with four
distinct classes or rather ranks, as if it shows a
real military hierarchy; whereas that for cemetery B would show gaps in both the second
class or rank (at the value of 22 marks) and in the
third (at the value of 15 marks).
The percentage of wooden chests (1.8% in OO,
0.6% in B), crossbow ibulae (1.8% in OO, 0.5%
in B), outer coins (1.4% in OO, 0.2% in B) point
to an overall somewhat higher status of cemetery OO, with the exception of course of the
posh sarcophagus area in cemetery B.
It is suggested that cemetery OO, as long as it
lasted, was used by the military, and cemetery B
irst by civilians, and, ater OO was closed down,
by both civilians and military.
Orientations
The traditional view
The traditional view on orientations in the Late
Roman cemeteries of Nijmegen is prudently expressed by J.E. Bogaers in Noviomagus (1979,
66):
‘The part of the cemetery excavated in the
Nieuwstraat shows particularly well that the
W-E graves are later than the E-W ones. A clear
stratigraphical division can be seen here. Many
W-E inhumations cut E-W ones; only in a lim-
ited number the opposite is the case. It should
be said, however, that oten nothing was let
of the skeleton, so that the orientation of the
inhumation could not be ascertained. Moveover, grave goods are as good as always found
in E-W graves; the W-E graves have in general
no grave goods.’ (Transl. D.St.)
The present Figure 13 shows the stratigraphy
discussed here.
Ater all that was writen above, it will be clear
that even this prudent way of puting it is a simpliication: many E-W graves do not have grave
goods, and 36 W-E graves do have them (Table
24). These 36 graves amount to 2.7% of all 1323
graves, and to 7.8% of the 464 datable graves
listed in the present Appendix 4, and to 12% of
the 299 W-E graves.
The facts
The bar diagrams of Graphs 5 and 6 show all Nijmegen graves of known orientation, i.e. where
we know in which direction the head of the deceased pointed. Both bar diagrams have two
clear peaks: E-W graves and W-E ones. They also
show considerable variation within these
groups. E-W graves cluster around 90° and vary
from 53°-143° in cemetery B, and from 87°-147°
in cemetery OO. W-E graves cluster around 270°
and vary from 242°-320° in cemetery B, and
from 260°-319° in cemetery OO. The diference
in variation of these two groups in cemeteries B
and OO is enough to show that there was not an
astronomical, or, for that mater, astrological
reason for precise orientation of the graves: the
spread in the two cemeteries would have been
equal in that case. The variation seems to be due
to chance.
Relative chronology: cuts between graves
An approach to ind an answer to the question
of the reason for the opposition between E-W
and W-E graves is: drawing up a table of all cases
where a grave is cut by another one (called a cut
below), and where in both cases the orientation
of the deceased is known. 110 cuts between a
total of 179 graves fulill these conditions: many
420
—
graves cut, or are cut by, more than one grave;
otherwise, there would have been 220 graves on
110 cuts. 94 cuts are in cemetery B, 16 in OO.
As we are looking for the opposition between
E-W and W-E graves, we subdivide Table 28 in
ive groups of increasing size.
Group 1: in each cut, at least one of the graves
neither is E-W nor W-E (11 cuts = 10%).
Group 2: cuts in which both graves are E-W (15
cuts = 14%).
Group 3: cuts in which an E-W grave cuts, and so
is later than, a W-E grave (16 cuts = 15%).
Group 4: cuts in which a W-E grave cuts, and so is
later than, an E-W grave (30 cuts = 27%).
Group 5: cuts in which both graves are W-E (38
cuts = 35%).
What is to be deduced from this large Table 28
on orientation? A general increase, as time goes
on, in the percentage of graves without grave
goods, from 40% in the earlier graves of group 2,
to 100% in the later graves of group 5.
The results are presented succinctly in Table 29.

Group 1, which does not play a role in the opposition between E-W and W-E graves, shows an
equal number of earlier and later graves without
and with grave goods, 8 and 3, respectively. The
average number of grave goods is lower in the
later graves that do have them: 1 as against 2.7
in the earlier graves (in the two columns on the
right in Table 29, the graves without grave goods
are not taken into account).
Group 2 consists entirely of E-W graves. The percentage of graves without grave goods within
this group 2 increases from 40% in the earlier
graves to 67% in the later ones. The average
number of grave goods in those graves that do
have them is 1.6 in the earlier graves, as against
1.8 in the later ones.
Group 3 shows the irst real opposition between
E-W and W-E graves. 94% of the earlier graves
there, all W-E, are without grave goods, as
against 38% of the later graves, all E-W. The average number of grave goods in the later graves
that do have them increases here to 2.9 per
grave. We see old-fashioned people reacting to
the modernism of the W-E graves without grave
goods, stressing their good old habits by giving
some extra grave goods in their old-fashioned
E-W graves.
In group 4, where the earlier graves are E-W and
the later ones W-E, the percentage of earlier
graves without grave goods rises further to 47%,
but the average number of grave goods in those
E-W graves that do have them stays at 2.9. Of
the later, W-E graves, 90% is without grave
goods.
Finally, in group 5, entirely consisting of W-E
graves, 95% of the earlier graves is without
grave goods, as against 100% of the later graves.
The old-fashioned people of E-W graves and
grave goods have died out.

When did the custom of W-E graves start?
Right from the start of the cemeteries.
Certainly early W-E graves: B 620 and B 180 have a

terminus ante quem (taq) of AD 318; they are at
275° and 276°, respectively. B 99, at 278°, has a
taq of AD 330.
Probably early W-E graves: It is probable that the
undated W-E graves in the same cluster as the
early B 620 are early as well (Fig. 16: B 615, B 621,
B 628, B 631, B 632; in clusters nearby: B 564, B
566, B 582, B 584, B 588, B 593, B 611).
Possibly early W-E graves: Looking at Appendix 4,
we see that there are three W-E graves with pottery and/or glass vessels with a terminus post
quem (tpq) of AD 330 or 334: B 680, B 704 and
OO 426. Eight graves with taq AD 350 (B 13, B 90,
B 169, B 220, B 456, B 697, B 749, B 760, and OO
20) and thirteen graves with taq AD 367 (B 151, B
198, B 676, B 734, OO 12, OO 26, OO 56, OO 76,
OO 90, OO 94, OO 231, OO 349, and OO 433) give
no certainty whatsoever: they may be early;
there is no way to tell. The same holds for all
W-E graves with taq AD 367, as far as they are
not involved in the stratigraphical cuts referred
to by Bogaers and shown in Table 28.
Possible causes
What caused the division of the graves into E-W
and W-E ones?
Below, we shall investigate status, gender and
age as possible causes and come to the conclusion that none of them was the cause. We shall
see that religion is a probable factor, but that it is
improbable that Christianity had anything to do
with it. Origin will be proposed below as the reason for burying people in E-W graves, and pagan
religion for the W-E ones.
Do status, sex or age explain orientations?
A glance at the map of the clearest area, LN, in
Figure 13 shows that the W-E graves are generally later. It has already been argued above that
some W-E inhumations are early and that others
may be so.
If the opposition between E-W and W-E graves
was caused by a factor like gender/age, status or
ideology, which was it?
Gender is deduced from dress accessories, age
from the length of the coin (up to 160 cm for
children; over 160 cm for juveniles/adults).
I have chosen sharply dated graves (up to onethird century between terminus post and ante
quem) of known orientation, of E-W and W-E
orientations. Table 30 gives the data.
The irst observation on Table 30 is, that neither
the terminus ante quem nor the terminus post
quem correlates with the orientation: when a
time column has been ordered, the orientation
column is in chaos, and vice versa. The reason
must be the imprecise nature of dates for
fourth-century artefacts, although time does
play a role, as will be shown below. The same

holds for number of grave goods, dress accessories and coins: status is no reason for the difference between E-W and W-E graves.
Another conclusion to be drawn from this table
is again a negative one: gender and age do not
explain the orientation. The two girls are at 117°
and 275°. The eleven detectable women are lying at 58°, 78°, 100°, 102°, 103°, 107°, 115°, 122°,
135°, 260°, and 276°. Boys are not detectable in
these Roman cemeteries, as opposed to contemporaneous Germanic cemeteries (Groot
1991; Böhme 1974, 164). The four men in Table
30 are lying at 124°, 279°, 297° and 304°. It might
seem from this small sample that women were
preferably buried heading E and men heading W.
The complete list, however, of the 58 graves
where we know orientation and gender/age on
archaeological evidence, shows no such tendency: see Table 31. Final conclusion on gender and
age: they do not correlate with orientation.
W-E graves: a Christian orientation?

is looking towards the east. That is the position
of the deceased during a Roman Catholic funeral
service: head to the west, feet towards the east,
where the altar is. The priest there, with the rising sun in his back, preaches resurrection. It has
been oten suggested, always in short remarks
not in argumentation, that the Nijmegen W-E
graves relect Christian belief of the deceased
and those who buried them: the head to the
WNW, in order to ‘look’ to the ESE, where the
sun of Christ rises, or where Christ is supposed
to appear on the clouds at the end of times

Van Es (1968), partly ater Van Doorselaer (1967)
and Nierhaus (1959). Van Es contests the automatic Christian interpretation. There are four arguments, he writes, which are always used to
argue that Late Roman W-E graves are Christian
ones: 1 inhumation supersedes cremation; 2 W-E
inhumation becomes the usual orientation; 3 the
custom of giving grave goods dies out; 4 where
grave goods remain in use, they may carry Christian symbols.
Van Es’ counter-arguments
The counter-arguments of Van Es are the following.
Against 1: The practice of inhumation comes from
the eastern provinces and is part of the orientalisation of Rome and the western provinces. The
superseding of cremation by inhumation began
in the second century AD and was completed in
the third, before Christianity began to take root
in the West.
Against 2: W-E orientation of graves has no biblical background. There is no place in the bible
that predicts that Christ will appear in the east at
the end of times. There are W-E inhumations
from the beginning of the Roman Empire. In the
second and third centuries, inhumations could
428
—
be N-S, S-N, W-E and E-W and anything in between: their direction was apparently meaningless. So the start of W-E inhumations is not
Christian. We know Christian N-S inhumations
from Cologne and Strasbourg. Against Nierhaus
(1959, 34), who writes that W-E inhumation is
the preeminently Christian burial practice from
AD 350 onwards, Van Es writes: ‘It seems to go
too far to suppose that the W-E orientation
would have been the exclusive right of the Christians in the fourth century. This is certainly the
case in Nijmegen, where very diferent directions
of the graves are found at the end of the fourth
century. So the W-E direction of an individual
grave is, even at the end of Roman times, not an
absolutely certain criterium of Christianity.’
(Transl. D.St.)
Against 3: Long before the fourth century, there
are many graves without grave goods. Graves
with other directions than W-E are also without
grave goods. (Van Es assumes that a majority of
the population found the giving of grave goods a
useless but costly custom. The ive kiln wasters
in Nijmegen grave B 176 do nothing to undermine this assumption.)
Against 4: There are unmistakably Christian
graves with grave goods, and unmistakably pagan graves with Christian symbols on the grave
goods (Haillot graves 7, 12 and 14: Breuer et al.
1957, 300); unmistakably pagan setlements in
the Frisian region also used potery with Christian symbols.
Van Es (1968, 12) concludes: ‘When we draw up
the balance, having arrived at the end of the Roman period, we must conclude that the archaeologist for this period possesses (as yet?) no reliable criteria to identify an individual grave as
Christian. Inhumation instead of cremation, W-E
orientation, the absence of grave goods, or, the
other way round, the presence of grave goods,
even if these grave goods show traces of Christian inluence, all these characteristics form neither apart nor in combination watertight proof.’
(Transl. D.St.)
More counter-arguments
The following paragraphs may be added to Van
Es’ arguments. It must be admited that it was
indeed believed in the Middle Ages that Christ
would appear in the East. The last chapter (182)
of Jacobus de Voragine’s Legenda Aurea, published AD 1260, treats the dedication of a church
and cites John of Damascus (AD 650-?), Book IV
chapter 5, who gives three reasons for orienting
a church. The third is: ‘and when he [Christ]
ascended, he was borne towards the East, and
thus the apostles adored him, and he will come
again as they saw him going into heaven. Therefore we too pray to him facing the East, awaiting
his coming.’ (Voragine 1995, II 387).
But it should again be stressed: there is nothing
about the East in the texts on Ascension in the
bible (Mathew 16,19; Luke 24,50-2; Acts 1,9-12;
cf. Daniel 7,13).
And praying toward the East was not a Christian
prerogative. It igures also in Roman literature
on temples and is mentioned as the habit of a
Langobard pagan king. Vitruvius 4,5,1 prescribes
the orientation of temples as follows:
‘The quarter toward which temples of the immortal gods ought to face is to be determined
on the principle that, if there is no reason to
hinder and the choice is free, the temple and the
statue placed in the cella should face the western quarter of the sky. This will enable those who
approach the altar to face the direction of the sunrise
in facing the statue in the temple, and thus those
who are undertaking vows look toward the
quarter from which the sun comes forth, and
likewise the statues themselves appear to be
coming forth out of the east to look upon them
as they pray and sacriice.’ (Transl. Morris Hickey
Morgan; my italics)
According to the Legenda Aurea, ch. 181, the
Longobard king Alboin (c.AD 560-572), who had
sworn he would kill all Christians, was accustomed to pray each morning facing the East (Voragine 1995, II 368-9; cf. Paulus Diaconus Historia
Longobardorum II 27).
If single W-E graves cannot be identiied as
Christian, it will be clear that the same holds for
429
—
groups of W-E graves found in contexts where
no positive sign of Christianity is present.
Nijmegen and Van Es’ counter-arguments
There is overwhelming evidence in the Nijmegen
cemeteries that Van Es is right: 1 the variation of
orientation of the W-E graves, 2 the presence of
grave goods according to pagan rite in W-E
graves, 3 the scarcity of actual Christian signs,
and 4 the orientation of the only recognizable
Christian in the Late Roman cemeteries of Nijmegen.
Firstly, the variation of orientation of the W-E
graves. Cemetery B has its W-E group between
242° and 320°, i.e. between WSW and NW; the
W-E group of cemetery OO is between 260° and
319°, i.e. between W by S and NW. In other
words: the variation is much larger than just
WNW-ESE (292°30’). Especially of the graves between 242° and 260° it must be said that the
symbolic eyes of the deceased are facing NE,
rather than SE where the sun rises.
Secondly, the presence of grave goods according
to pagan rite in W-E graves. There are many W-E
graves in both cemeteries that do have potery
or glass grave goods, i.e. a meal, according to
pagan rite: see Table 24. Their numbers amount
to the following. In cemetery B, 22 out of 240
W-E graves (= 9%) have grave goods; in cemetery OO, this is 14 out of 59 W-E graves (= 24%).
Overall, 36 out of 299 W-E graves (= 12%) have
grave goods.
Thirdly, the scarcity of actual Christian signs.
There is only one person in the Nijmegen cemeteries who proclaims to be a Christian: the lady
in grave B 690 with a christogram (the monogram of the Greek leters Chi (X) and Rho (P), the
irst leters of the name of Christ) on the agrafe
on her forehead. Proclaiming Christianity cannot
have been a problem in the fourth century: all
fourth-century emperors were Christians, originally even Julian (361-363), who became the Apostate. In Chapter 12 (and in Steures 2004a), the
two real parallels for the Nijmegen agrafe are
discussed: one was found, and is irmly rooted
in, the extreme south of Gaul; the other, with a
christogram on it, supposedly even comes from
Spain. The Nijmegen lady with the agrafe may
have come from there. The south of Gaul knew
Christian communities as early as the second
century.
There are two other Christian symbols in the
cemeteries: a chest with Christian pictures of
biblical stories, belonging to a pagan lady, and
three coins of Magnentius and Decentius with
large christograms on their reverses, found in
two certainly pagan graves.
The Christian pictures on chest 9 in the richly
furnished and therefore pagan grave B 701 have
a pagan Medusa head between them, meant to
forbid anyone else but the owner to open it. It
was her personal arca, and its contents were arcana: hidden, concealed, secret, private things.
She needed a mythological, i.e. pagan monster
to keep other people out. The rich grave goods
in grave B 701 make it highly improbable that it
contained a Christian person. This was apparently a time when it was thought that Christianity
could be incorporated in the polytheistic system
(Steures 2007). As a parallel, it may be mentioned that a female follower of the god Sabazios in Cologne had a similar chest with a Christian
picture of the Three in the Fiery Furnace (Daniel
3; Fremersdorf 1931, Steures 2004b).
Coins of the usurper Magnentius (350-353) and
his caesar Decentius (350-353) have large christograms on their reverses. Two were found in
grave OO 242, one in OO 480 (Meijers et al.
2005, 131, Fig. 1). The pagan Magnentius had political reasons to put christograms on his coins:
he wanted the support of the catholic Christians
against his rival Constantius II, who was devoted
to Arianism (Engemann in: Demandt/Engemann
2007, 206). The coins were duely thrown in pagan graves, as appears from their grave goods. If
the throwers believed in Christ, they believed in
Charon at the same time.
Fourthly, the grave of the only recognizable Christian, B 690, did not have the supposed Christian
orientation: it was at 58°, i.e. with her head to
NE by E, so ‘looking’ to SW by W.

Three argumenta e silentio against Christianity
Though every university teacher will tell his students that an argumentum e silentio is not decisive,
I shall present three here.
Firstly, there are no Christian grave inscriptions
known in Nijmegen, as opposed to the other
Dutch Late Roman cemetery of Maastricht,
some 110 km south of Nijmegen, which does
have them (Boppert 1986). Although the distribution map published by Boppert (1986, 64; repeated in Steures 2009, 201, Fig. 7) shows an isolated Christian inscription in Xanten, the
southernmost city of the Netherlands, Maastricht, clearly is (together with Tongeren and Cologne) the northern boundary of Christendom in
late Antiquity.
Secondly, no roller-stamps (moletes) with Christian motifs on ith-century terra sigillata are
known from Nijmegen (Dijkman 1992). The distribution map of such roller-stamps in graves
(Dijkman 1992, 157, Fig. 25) shows about the
same area as that of the Christian grave inscriptions mentioned above. The map of all such roller-stamps in NW Europe (Dijkman 1992, 169, Fig.
36; repeated in Steures 2009, 202, Fig. 8) shows
seven examples from three places near Nijmegen: one unpublished stamp in Ubbergen, just
east of Nijmegen; two from Cuyk, 12 km south of
Nijmegen; four from Gennep, 18 km southeast of
Nijmegen. That is far less than the 27 northernmost examples from four certainly pagan sites in
the province of Friesland (Frisia) in the northeast
of the Netherlands (cf. Van Es 1968, 12). The 33
examples from southernmost Maastricht do not
come from graves, but from setlement excavations just around the irst church of Maastricht,
below the present-day church of the Virgin
Mary; similar situations were found in Auxerre,
Rouen and Metz (Dijkman 1992, 157). There
should have been many around a Late Roman
church on the Valkhof (Willems/Van Enckevort
2009, 104).
Thirdly, no Christian legends from late Antiquity
are connected with Nijmegen. Even nearby Xanten, only 60 km away, where only one Christian
gravestone is known, has a name that is derived
from the Latin name Ad Sanctos, i.e. Near the
Saints: the medieval town developed around the
memorial chapel of St Victor, now succeeded by
the St Victor cathedral, on one of the Roman
cemeteries of Colonia Ulpia Traiana.
Excursus 2: Christianity near Late Roman Nijmegen?
Apart from the lady in grave B 690 with the
christogram on her agrafe, there is hardly a sign
of any Christian or Christianity in or near Late
Roman Nijmegen.
Smetius jr (1678, 63 = 2004, 46) concludes ater
many pages of discussion (1678, 33-63 = 2004,
29-46) of two gems with Christian symbols,
stray inds allegedly from Nijmegen, that on the
island and in the city of the Batavians a pure
Christianity had always been confessed from the
beginning of the glad tidings of the New Testament.
A lamp with christogram from Oosterhout, opposite Nijmegen across the river Waal, has been
shown twice recently as an illustration in articles
on supposed Christianity in Late Roman Nijmegen (Meijers et al. 2005, 130, Fig. 3; Willems et al.
2005, 197, Fig. 83). The lamp is not discussed in
these articles. It is a fourth-century African lamp
of a type published by Ennabli (1976). As lamps
disappear from the material culture in the Netherlands ater the third century (L. Swinkels, pers.
com.) and other African lamps are not known
from the Netherlands, it would be highly surprising when a Roman in Oosterhout would have
owned it. Moreover, the lamp is a stray ind,
mentioned by Willems (1985, 106, site 154, ind f)
and cannot be used in any discussion on the
question. Stray inds of lamps can lead to
strange results. A good warning is Groenendijk
(2006). In a discussion ater a lecture by the author in 2006, prof. Michael Erdrich told the following story: Six cases are known of Roman
lamps, found near setlements in Germania Libera. All six appeared to come from nineteenthcentury collections of local clergymen.
The Late Roman army in the Netherlands, however, did use badges with christograms on their
431
—
‘ridge helmets’ on the front of the crest, as
shown on the famous AD 315 silver medallion of
Constantine (Demandt/Engemann 2007, 206,
Fig. 15; Grüßinger et al. 2007, I.3.120). Three or
four of these have turned up as stray inds in recent years: in the Betuwe (ancient Batavia), the
area of the Netherlands between the Rhine and
Waal river, but no further details are available
(Driel-Murray 2000); ‘somewhere in the Meuse
valley’ (Dutch Limburg: Driel-Murray 2000, Prins
2000; Altringer et al. 2006, 46-7 with colour
photograph; Demandt/Engemann 2007, 235 ig.
6; Grüßinger et al. 2007, I.13.121); Wijchen, to the
immediate SW of Nijmegen, and Echteld, some
30 km W of Nijmegen; this one might be identical with the irst one. ‘Taken together with a silver agrafe with Chi-rho symbol found on the
skull of a female burial in Nijmegen (Steures
2004, 7, ig. 3) these badges seem to suggest
widespread Christian inluence in the second
half of the fourth century in the Lower Rhine
area.’ (Driel-Murray 2005)
However, the Roman army went away, and as far
as we know now, Christianity went with it. Apart
from southernmost Maastricht, Christianity had
to wait to take root in the Netherlands until the
advent of the missionaries of the Netherlands,
Willibrord (AD 690-739) and Boniface (c.675755), from the British Isles. As Van Es (1968, 7)
put it:
‘So broadly speaking there are two periods in
which the population of the southern part of
our country was brought under Christian inluence: in the fourth century and then, so to say
all over again, in the seventh and the beginning of the eight century.’ (Transl. D.St.)
The research question for the years to come
should therefore not be whether there was a
Christian community in Late Roman Nijmegen
and what its size or nature was. Had there been
such a community, it would have let traces in
the 1323 Late Roman graves published in the
present study.
The question should be: how can it be that Late
Roman Nijmegen, so close to christianized
Tongeren, Maastricht and the Rhineland, re-
mained both staunchly Roman and staunchly
pagan? (Tongeren: Creemers 2007; Maastricht:
Boppert 1986; Rhineland: Altringer et al. 2006,
Ristow 2006)
Excursus 3: Recent remarks on Christianity in
the northwest
This is the place to discuss recent remarks on the
role of Christianity in the Late Roman Empire
(Willems et al. 2005, 196-8; Willems/van Enckevort 2009, 135-6):
‘That change in orientation was accompanied
by an almost total disappearance of grave
goods. These changes have been considered
the result of a ‘Christian’ habit, though Van Es
correctly notes that the lacks of grave goods
need not by deinition indicate a religious
(Christian) background but might be related to
changes in the NW provinces by which religious customs would adapt to what was customary. The preferential orientation for burials
was decreed by the Milan Edict of 313, ater
which the W-E direction gradually, and from
c.350 almost exclusively, became the Christian
way. Whether this symbolism goes back to the
earliest period of Christianity is rather doubtful, according to Van Es; in his view, this should
be seen more as an efect of the central authority, is this case Constantine, who proclaimed Christian belief as the State religion’.
These remarks were partly borrowed from Van
Es (1968, 10), who implies that other authors
think that Christianity had become the State religion ater the Edict of Milan. However, this passage is part of a ive-page-long argumentation
by Van Es against automatic Christian interpretation of Late Roman W-E inhumations without
grave goods.
It should be stressed that the word translated
here by ‘state religion’, staatsgodsdienst, means
‘oicially proclaimed religion in any empire that
one should profess in order to be able to become a state oicial’ (Dutch dictionary Van Dale
2005, s.v.; transl. D.St.).
The facts are the following. In AD 311, the prosecutor Galerius, out of imperial generosity (clem-
432
—
entia) allowed the Christians, though he found
them stupid (stultitia), the right to exercise their
religion (Lactantius, De mortibus persecutorum
34,4). Constantine and Licinius renewed this permission in the rescript (answer of the emperor to
a governor) known as Edict of Milan of AD 313.
There is no oicial law text of the Edict of Milan,
but we do have the Latin text in Lactantius De
mortibus persecutorum 48,2-12 and the Greek
translation of a slightly diferent redaction, as
promulgated by Licinius in the east, in Eusebius’
Historia Ecclesiastica 10,5,2-14.
There is nothing in this rather short leter (some
530 words of Latin) that refers to inhumation,
nor, for that mater, to orientation. Moreover, it
is clear that it lays down no more than tolerance
for Christian and any other religion: ut daremus
Christianis et omnibus liberam potestatem sequendi
religionem quam quisque voluisset = ‘so that we
might grant both to Christians and to all men
freedom to follow whatever religion each one
wished’. The two augusti retracted earlier rescripts against the Christians, demanded that
former property of the Church be handed back
immediately, unconditionally and free of charge,
and ordered the governors of the eastern provinces to publish their rescript as an edict, so that
everyone would be able to read it. With the Edict
of Milan, Christianity became an oicially recognized religion not the state religion (cf. Van Es
1972, 202 = 1981, 261).
No earlier than AD 380 Theodosius made Christianity a not the cult of the state: he apparently
still permited pagan religion for both the elite
and the rustic population, where it was deeply
rooted (Cod. Theod. 16,1,2); only AD 392, he
forbade the old Roman religion, so that Christianity became the established cult of the Roman
Empire (Cod. Theod. 16,10,12).
It will be clear that there is not a shred of evidence that the Edict of Milan or Constantine had
anything to do with the orientation of graves in
the far northwest, or that they proclaimed Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire.
The Nijmegen opposition is unique
Comparison to the nearest two large Late Roman cemeteries, Maastricht and Krefeld-Gellep,
shows the Nijmegen opposition of E-W and W-E
graves to be unique. Maastricht knows only W-E
graves, the lower stratum being with grave
goods, the upper one without (Van Es 1968, 13).
In Gellep, 360 out of 1258 inhumations were
N-S, 444 W-E, and the rest had orientations
somewhere in between. Pirling speciies: where
it could be ascertained, 95 of the ‘N-S’ graves
were actually S-N, and 65 were N-S; 134 of the
‘W-E’ graves were actually W-E, and 74 were
E-W (Pirling/Siepen 2006, 13-5). As Fleur Kemmers already remarked on her Table 23 at the
beginning of the present chapter, something
very special was going on in Nijmegen.
A new look at the orientations
Now that it has been established that the preference for burial with the head to the west of the
later Nijmegen graves has nothing to do with
status, age, gender or Christianity, and that the
Nijmegen opposition is unique, it is time for a
completely new look on the opposition between
the E-W and the W-E Nijmegen graves. Not the
turning of the later graves toward the west is the
problem. The sun rises in the east and therefore
Roman and barbarian pagans and Christians all
prayed (and Christians still pray) toward the east.
Who lies with his head to the west is looking towards the east. It is therefore only natural that
graves should be oriented, i.e. that the dead
should be lying with the feet to the east and the
head to the west. This is also shown by the
Maastricht graves, which are all W-E, both in the
deeper stratum with and the upper stratum
without grave goods.
The question, like the graves, should be turned
the other way round: what brought the people
who dug the generally earlier Nijmegen E-W
graves to bury their beloved with their heads to
the east, so that they ‘looked towards the west’?
If a group does so collectively, there must be an
ideological reason. Ater the argumentation at
the beginning of this chapter, that there is no
433
—
‘gap of Nijmegen’ and that Ulpia Noviomagus,
to the west of the Valkhof setlement, existed
right up to AD 313, the following simple
hypothesis will come as no surprise. The people
buried in E-W graves are the irst generation of
the Valkhof setlers and had grown up in Ulpia
Noviomagus.
There is one fact to support this hypothesis: the
girl in the early (AD 317-8) and richest grave but
one B 620, the sarcophagus of the Grutberg, was
lying with her head almost due west, at 275°.
She and her family did not come from Ulpia
Noviomagus, as the distribution areas of the two
most conspicuous artefacts in her grave show.
Not counting Nijmegen itself, such sarcophagi
are found from Bregenz to Cologne; and tambourine sticks, again not counting Nijmegen itself, are found from northern Italy up to Epraves
and Samson in Belgium and Gellep in Germany.
Not coming from Ulpia Noviomagus they had no
reason for an E-W burial and followed the religious reason for W-E burial that was later to become the norm in the cemeteries of Late Roman
Nijmegen.
Who were they?
Local people
Anthropologically, they probably were of local
origin. Culturally, they were completely Roman.
And culture is what maters in the perception of
one’s own identity and in archaeology. The contrast to their Germanic neighbours comes out
best by two positive facts and a negative one.
The negative fact is that boys’ graves cannot be
recognized in the Nijmegen cemeteries. In culturally Germanic cemeteries nearby and of the
same period, boys are positively marked by their
atributes (Groot 1991; Böhme 1974, 164).
The irst positive fact is their use of almost exclusively Roman potery and glass vessels, the
footed bowls Gellep 273 and 274 being the only
case of a mixed Roman-Germanic potery type
(Typology plates, Figures 114 and 115). The May-
en coarse potery, the Argonnes terra sigillata
and the coated Trier beakers, so frequent in Nijmegen, are, with a few exceptions, absent from
the area N and E of the Rhine (Erdrich 2003, 10).
The second positive fact is their use of crossbow
ibulae, which are frequent in the Roman areas
south of the Rhine and the Danube, and almost
absent from the Germanic areas to the north of
those frontier rivers (Böhme 1974, 160; Swit
2000, passim). These were proudly worn in actual
life (Demandt/Engemann 2007, Figs. on p. 77
and 95) and in iconography by Roman top oficials and other members of the elite (Buchem
1966). Nijmegen has many more crossbow ibulae than the iteen published in this study
(Buchem 1966); these have not been included
because their ind spots are unknown.
Did they give themselves an ethnic name? We
are not to know, because what we have in writing from fourth-century Nijmegen is limited to
the one graito OLATENEBIBE on B stray 140.
But we may have an educated guess. Nijmegen
was a city with many names in Roman times, but
all of them mention the Batavians: Batavodurum, Oppidum Batavorum, Ulpia Noviomagus
Batavorum, and, from c.AD 150 onwards, Municipium Batavorum (Bogaers 1960-1; Steures
1995, 16-19; Derks in: Swinkels (ed.) 2004, 56).
Nijmegen was the city of the Civitas Batavorum,
which is mentioned only once, on the altar
dedicated by Flavus, son of Vihirmas, summus
magistratus civitatis Batavorum (= the highest
magistate of the district of the Batavians; CIL XIII
8771; Byvanck 1935, 98-9, no 91; Derks in: Swinkels (ed.) 2004, 68). This altar is dated as early as
the irst half of the irst century by Bogaers
(1960-1, 268-71). The latest inscriptions in which
Batavians igure date to the third century AD
(Derks in: Swinkels (ed.) 2004, 56, 66-69). In literature, the name disappears ater it is mentioned by Cassius Dio, who lived AD 155-235
(55.24.7), but it makes a comeback at the beginning of the fourth century. The area between the
rivers Rhine and Waal, now named Betuwe, is
called Batavia AD 306 and AD 365 (Panegyrici Latini 7.4.2; 2.5.2). Batavian troops of the fourth
434
—
century are mentioned many times by Ammianus Marcellinus, always as staunch allies of the
Romans, though with varying success (summed
up by Teitler in: Swinkels (ed.) 2004, 36-7). We
have seen that the archaeological evidence suggests that the inhabitants of Nijmegen were
staunchly Roman up to the latest graves published in the present study, i.e. up to AD 450. So we
may surmise that they still called themselves
Batavi, i.e. Batavians, as long as their cemeteries
remained in use.
As for the troops in the Valkhof setlement, we
have no evidence about the name of their unit.
Late Roman brick stamps known from near the
Valkhof mention the Numerus Ursariensium,
which is known from Qualburg and elsewhere
along the Rhine in the mid-third century, and Legio XXII, which stayed from AD 92/3 in Mainz
(Noviomagus 1979, 65, Figs. 72-3; Bogaers/Rüger
1974, 96; Bechert/Willems 1995, 63-4, 106). But
we do have a clue where they came from: the
irst generation being buried in E-W graves both
in the more civilian cemetery B and in the more
military cemetery OO, these troops had been recruited in Ulpia Noviomagus itself.
Newcomers
In the times of Augustus, the tribe of the Batavians was formed by the Romans by importing
nobility from the Chati around present-day
Frankfurt and giving them the local population
as clientela (Roymans 1998). Constantine, it is
suggested, did the same: he brought in a civil
administrator from Cologne.
The civil administrator was, it is suggested, the
father of the 7-year-old upper class girl in the
sarcophagus of the Grutberg. In view of the rude
sarcophagi of the middle status zone of cemetery B, he probably came from Cologne, which
has them, rather than from Trier, which doesn’t.
He may, in the old-fashioned Roman way, have
paid himself for the rebuilding of Nijmegen in
the shape of the Valkhof fortress. It is far less
probable that he was a burden on the small
community of the type Lactantius complains
about (de mortibus persecutorum 7,4): in terms of
money, the Nijmegen people of the period
immediately before the cemeteries had nothing
but their emergency money. The third and most
probable possibility is that Constantine or the
state paid for this stronghold against the Franks
because of the security of the Empire.
The supposed civil administrator was not the
only one from Cologne. An eccentric lady who
worshipped Sabazios also came from there.
Apart from persons, there was an inluence from
Cologne: we saw that the percentage of niches in
the Nijmegen cemeteries reminds of that in Cologne rather than that of Gellep.
There were a few other newcomers. The only recognizable Christian in Nijmegen, the lady in B 690
with her agrafe with christogram from the south
of Gaul or even from Hispania, probably married
into the well-of family that had its burial plot on
the hillock to the northwest of the Mariënburg
chapel. Some Sarmatians with their glitering barbarian sheet ibulae mingled with the population.
What was it like to live in Late Roman Nijmegen?
Originally, there must have been an enormous relief when the Valkhof fortress was built AD 313. Its
cemeteries relect prosperity up to the disaster
year AD 355.
But already before that year, there must have
been some anxiety. The Nijmegen pagans were
confronted with emperors who had suddenly
switched from pagan to Christian religion. In coin
period 4, AD 330-341, they were looded by imperial propaganda with contradictory messages. The
legend Urbs Roma told them that Rome remained
the only Urbs of the empire, but the Constantinopolis coins made it clear that the real capital had moved away to the east, far out of reach
of westerly Nijmegen.
Reading the eminent historian of the fourth century, Ammianus Marcellinus, helps us to imagine
the anxieties of the times for the inhabitants of
Nijmegen. At the same time, we can understand
that the pagan cousin of Constantine, Julian (331363, emperor 361-3), must have been their hero.
The surviving books 14-31 cover the years AD 353378.

—
By AD 355, Franks, of all people, were numerous
and inluential in the palace (15,5,11). In the same
year, Cologne was destroyed (15,8,19). But Julian
recovered Cologne from the Franks a year later
(16,3,1-3). AD 357-8, Franks plundered Germania
Secunda, which comprised Cologne, Tongeren
and Nijmegen (17,2,1-2; cf. 15,7). But again, Julian
came and rescued the population by starving the
Franks into surrender (17,2,3-4). Salian Franks and
Chamavi surrendered to him (17,8,3-5). AD 358, he
restored three Roman fortresses on the Meuse/
Maas (17,9,1). AD 357-9, many disasters shook
neighbouring Belgica Secunda (17,3,6). AD 359,
Julian restored town walls along the Rhine and
built granaries for corn supplies from Britannia
(18,2,3) and recovered the area along the Rhine
from Arnhem near Nijmegen to Bingen near
Mainz (18,2,4). AD 360, he atacked the Athuarian
Franks, crossing the Rhine near Tricensima, the
Late Roman fortress of Roman Xanten, some 60
kilometers from Nijmegen (20,10).
In these hard times, the Nijmegen population
must have taken heart from the visits of other top
oicials. AD 365, Theodosius the Elder was active
between the rivers Rhine and Waal in the area of
Batavia, which was worn out by infantry batles
(Panegyrici Latini 2.5.2). Emperor Valentinian’s visit
to Nijmegen on 20 September 368 must have
made them very proud (Seeck 1919, 234; Stolte
1966). And, if nothing of Valentinian’s fortiications along the Rhine has been found yet in Nijmegen, it has been found as near by as in Cuijk,
some 12 km away (see Chapter 12, section Pendants).
The anxiety of the Nijmegen population about life
comes out in the three cases we have of religion
(apart from the proud priestess in grave B 465 and
the generally pagan ritual of depositing grave
goods) where a major concern was a good personal aterlife: the Dionysiac mask B 197.6 and the
Sabazios atributes in grave B 298, both signs of
mystery cults; and the Christian lady in B 690
must have hoped for a place in heaven (Steures
2004a; see also the relevant sections in Chapter 12
of the present study). The Nijmegen population
saw the upheaval caused by the sack of Cologne
and Trier AD 355 and the sudden stop of the import from there of their most popular potery, the
ine dark coloured ware. They saw the breach of
the Roman frontier by Germanic hordes near
Mainz in AD 406 (Lamarcq/Rogge 1996, 110). But
they remained staunchly Roman, as appears from
grave B 61, with its axe and un-Roman grave ritual
of giving a Roman belt set (Lamarcq/Rogge 1996,
110), dated AD 440-450. And they remained
staunchly pagan, witness the priestess of the pole
idol in the other latest dated Roman grave in this
study, B 465.

Coin list 1: per grave in the order of
the grave numbers (70 graves, 15 stray,
210 coins)
Coins play an important role in dating the graves
and the interpretation of the two cemeteries. As
there are many diferent aspects, they are discussed in diferent chapters of this study. In
chapter 3, Explanatory notes to the ind catalogue, in
the section titled First and second-century coins and
ibulae: intrusions? (p. 000-000), it is argued that
these were put into the graves intentionally; in
the section titled Assessing the dates of the graves in
real years (p. 000-000), the way the coin periods
are used for fairly exact dates is discussed. In
chapter 12, Typology of dress accessories, the two
eighth-century sceatas are discussed in the section on Beads because of the association with
eighth-century beads in grave B 661 (p. 000).
Coin periods and mints are discussed in chapter
14, Interpretation, in the section titled Time - The
beginning: AD 313.
The coin identiications were originally made by
H. Enno van Gelder (1876-1960) for cemetery B
and by Jeanete Raap (under supervision of prof.
J.S. Boersma) for cemetery OO. In 2011, R.W. Reijnen revised and updated the identiications; coins
missing then (see column remarks) keep their original identiications.
Ater the inal chapter, there are three coin lists:
Coin list 1:
per grave in the order of the
grave numbers;
Coin list 2:
per grave in the order of their
latest coins;
Coin list 3:
per coin ater its latest minting date.
In column remarks, missing = not found in museum depot in 2011.
