Summary edit

Description
English: Romanic grave goods from the Basilica San Tommaso
  • Cimitile, Province of Naples, Region Campania, Italy

Beyond the two apostlic shrines in Rome (the basilicas of Peter and Paul), the grave of Saint Felix (died at the end of the 3rd century) located in the center of the church complex of today's Cimitile was the most significant pilgrimage center of the Italic peninsula in late antiquity.

The single-nave basilica located on the grounds of the pilgrimage shrine was erected as a burial church. In the nave, 84 walled graves with an east-west orientation that were arranged in two layers, one on top of the other, have been opened up. The slightly elevated apse also had four additional graves with an east-west orientation and one grave with a north-south orientation. The artifacts found here are characteristic of burials of the native-Romanic population during the period of Lombard rule in Italy.

Deutsch: Romanische Grabbeigaben aus der Basilika San Tommaso
  • Cimitile, Provinz Napoli, Region Campania, Italien

Neben den beiden Apostelheiligtümern in Rom (die Peters- und die Paulsbasilika) war in der Zeit vom 4. bis 6. Jahrhundert um das Grab des Heiligen Felix (gestorben Ende des 3. Jahrhunderts) im Zentrum des heutigen Ortes Cimitile entstandene Kirchenkomplex das bedeutendste Pilgerzentrum der italischen Halbinsel in der Spätantike.

Die sich auf dem Gelände des Pilgerheiligtums befindende einschiffige Basilika wurde als Grabkirche errichtet. Im Kirchenschiff wurden 84 gemauerte Gräber in Ost-/Westorientierung aufgedeckt, die in zwei Lagen übereinander angeordnet sind. Die leicht erhöhte Apsis wies weitere vier Gräber in Ost-/West- und ein Grab in Nord-/Südorientierung auf. Die Funde sind charakteristisch für Bestattungen der einheimischen-romanischen Bevölkerung während der langobardischen Herrschaft in Italien.
