It is considered a sensational find: a small miniature can be locked of gold. A probe owner from the German East-Westphalia discovered it in Petershagen on the national border of North Rhine-Westfalen and lower Saxony in 2023 in 2023. More details are now known.
According to the current state of research, the only 1.2 times 1.1 centimeters in size is considered unique in Europe, since the Landschaftverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) announced on Tuesday in Münster.
Souvenir of the Roman military service
Since there was comparable, but considerably larger of these can ditches in the Roman period in the 3rd or 4th century AD, the most important archaeologist of the LWL suspects that “perhaps a family member of a local elite is the excellent gem on his return from the Roman army service as a memory or gift at home, “said Michael Rind in the performance.
Production possible without magnifying glass?
Technically investigated, the find has now been investigated by Neutron Computed Tomography (CT) in Switzerland. By looking in the LWL, the LWL was able to build the castle on a scale 4: 1. According to the LWL, many scientific questions are still open. It is unclear how the extremely small piece could be made without the usual tools such as artificial light or magnifying glass and how it came to Westphalia.
