BOLOGNA, ITALY—Newsweek reports that a grave dated to the seventh century B.C. has been discovered in central Italy’s Corinaldo Necropolis by researchers from the University of Bologna. The grave consists of a quadrangular pit measuring about 12 feet long by seven feet wide surrounded by a large circular ditch measuring about 100 feet in diameter. More than 150 artifacts have been recovered from the pit, including a two-wheeled chariot, a bronze helmet, a bronze cauldron, and a set of bronze containers. An iron ax for processing meat and pottery for serving food were also recovered. The tomb is thought to have belonged to a celebrated member of the Picene artistocracy, who occupied the region. This is the second tomb linked to the Picene aristocracy to be found in the Corinaldo Necropolis. The first was discovered in 2018. To read about that other Picene tomb, go to “Fit for a Prince.”
