| Description |
The cunning Odysseus (2nd fr. r.) surprises the Greek hero Achilles (2nd fr. l.), who disguised himself in girls' clothing so that he wouldn't have to take part in the Trojan War. Diameter of the platter: 53 cm; weight: 4642 g. The precious silver had been hoarded by Roman officers over an extended period of time. Amassed from imperial gifts and from inheritances, the treasure constituted considerable wealth. However, at a moment of imminent danger, in advance of an attack by the Alamanni on the fort in Kaiseraugst, the valuables had to be buried in great haste inside the fort wall. The owners were probably subsequently killed, and the treasure then fell into oblivion - until awoken from its slumber by a mechanical excavator on a cold winter's day in 1961, its adventurous story of discovery was kick-started. www.augustaraurica.ch/e/reise/bild-00.htm |
