Mystery of the Warrior-Prince: 2,500-Year-Old Tomb Reveals Secrets of Ancient Chariot Burial in Italy
The researchers hope that the artifacts found in the prince’s tomb that are still being studied and restored will only deepen this newfound knowledge of the Piceni elite.
For one, the funerary complex sits at a slightly higher elevation that overlooks the surrounding landscape, making this necropolis all the more imposing — which only adds to experts’ understanding of how the Piceni aristocracy reinforced its power 2,500 years ago.
What’s more, early geophysical surveys of the area suggest that this massive cemetery extended much farther than previously thought. So perhaps there are additional burials and artifacts out there, just waiting to be found so that they can reveal more than ever before about the ancient Piceni.
After reading about the 2,500-year-old princely tomb discovered in Italy, take a look inside the catacombs of Rome. Then, see the 2,500-year-old chariot that was found in Spain.
