Death of the King between Roman Rite and Barbarian Ethos · In every culture, funerary rites constitute a complex of ceremonies aimed at overcoming the disorder caused by death, which was all the greater when it involved top figures such as chiefs in various capacities and kings. The work attempts to enucleate forms and symbols through which sedentary and nomadic barbarian communities between the 4th and 5th centuries CE worked to recompose this social chaos, resorting to ritual practices such as singing, the funeral banquet or, sometimes, acts of self-harm. In almost all the cases examined, the Roman world is present as an inescapable frame of dialectical confrontation, an encounter of which the Childericus’ tomb at Tournai is one of the most striking and luminous material testimonies.

Abstract
Death of the King between Roman Rite and Barbarian Ethos · In every culture, funerary rites constitute a complex of ceremonies aimed at overcoming the disorder caused by death, which was all the greater when it involved top figures such as chiefs in various capacities and kings. The work attempts to enucleate forms and symbols through which sedentary and nomadic barbarian communities between the 4th and 5th centuries CE worked to recompose this social chaos, resorting to ritual practices such as singing, the funeral banquet or, sometimes, acts of self-harm. In almost all the cases examined, the Roman world is present as an inescapable frame of dialectical confrontation, an encounter of which the Childericus’ tomb at Tournai is one of the most striking and luminous material testimonies.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
