The tumulus burial of a Celtic prince at Hochdorf, Germany, ca 525 B.C., is uncannily reminiscent of the Midas Tumuls royal burial at Gordion, Turkey, of two centuries earlier. The burial chamber is enclosed in a double wall of logs, and a single male laid out in his finery, accompanied by a massive “claudron” and vessels for drinking and eating at a final funerary feast. Instead of “phrygian grog,” the 500 liter claudron had originally been filled with a beverage dominated by honey mead. Courtesy of J. Biel and Dr. Simone Stork / Keltenmuseum. Hochdorf.
