In this contribution we will analyze those necropolises in southern Italy that have returned weapons as funerary objects. The problem of the presence of weapons in burials between the 6th and 8th centuries is much debated, whether it is an element of ethnic and social distinction, especially in the territories of southern Italy where there is a process of acculturation and integration between the Lombards and the Roman-Byzantine tradition.

Abstract

In this contribution we will analyze those necropolises in southern Italy that have returned weapons as funerary objects. The problem of the presence of weapons in burials between the 6th and 8th centuries is much debated, whether it is an element of ethnic and social distinction, especially in the territories of southern Italy where there is a process of acculturation and integration between the Lombards and the Roman-Byzantine tradition.
