Abstract

The study of Longobards grave goods has shown that among the fittings of the belt to which weapons were attached there is often a piece that is alien to the rest of the whole and generally one generation older; the originating belt is usually found in a tomb not far away and slightly older. The practice seems to express the symbolic transmission of status and personal connection: a spiritual inheritance that may have been received during the funeral of an ancestor and that was kept by the descendant until death.
