Amulete din plumb din a doua jumătate a secolului al V-lea descoperite la Sânpaul (jud. Cluj)

  • Subiect: „During rescue excavations along the future A3 Transylvania Motorway (Site 9, Sânpaul, Cluj County/Romania) three graves from the Migration period were found. The graves have within their inventories prestigious items that define the “Danubian fashion” – an international fashion, difficult to assign ethnically, characterized by pairs of large silver brooches (with a semi-circular head plate), buckles, combs, beads, etc. The deceased buried at Sânpaul belonged to the aristocratic class of the middle or beginning of the second half of the 5th century, elites very well represented in the Carpathian Basin and Transylvania. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the three lead pendants discovered in grave 3 from Sânpaul, unique in terms of shape, decoration and combination within a funerary feature. Such pendants, worn together with beads, shells and other miniature metal objects had the role of amulets (Latin: crepundia, Greek: τὰ σπάργανα), both in Roman and post-Roman cultures, in the Hun, Avar and Viking periods.”
