1,700-Year-Old Roman Tombs Discovered in Bulgaria

A farmer in Bulgaria accidentally discovered two graves of a wealthy Roman-era family, but they appear to tell "a sad family story."

Two large graves discovered in northern Bulgaria likely tell "a sad family story" about wealthy Roman landowners whose child predeceased them in the third century A.D., archaeologists say.

In December 2023, a farmer unexpectedly found the graves while plowing his field in the village of Nova Varbovka. Because this region was a Roman province called Moesia in antiquity, archaeologists from the Veliko Tarnovo Regional Museum of History came to excavate the graves.

Both graves were built of brick, with plaster lining the walls and a large slab of limestone covering them. The larger of the two was roughly 10 feet (3 meters) long and contained the remains of two adults — a man and a woman who were both around 45 to 60 years old at death — buried with jewelry, coins, and ceramic and glass vessels.

The smaller grave, made somewhat earlier, contained the skeleton of a 2- to 3-year-old child and a rare bronze medallion depicting the Roman emperor Caracalla's (ruled A.D. 198 to 217) visit in A.D. 214 to Pergamon (also spelled Pergamum) in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), where he sought out the temple to Asclepius, the god of healing. Collectively, the two graves may represent a family's final resting place.

Some of the limestone from the graves appears to have come from a quarry near Nicopolis ad Istrum, a Roman and early Byzantine town founded by the emperor Trajan in the early second century. "This peculiarity and other indications make me think that the deceased are somehow related to the territory of Nicopolis ad Istrum," Kalin Chakarov, an archaeologist at the Veliko Tarnovo Regional History Museum, said in an email.

Chakarov, who excavated the burials along with colleagues Nedko Elenski and Mihaela Tomanova, noted that the Caracalla medallion could point to an Asia Minor origin for the occupants of the graves, which would be consistent with the fact that Nicopolis ad Istrum was built mainly by settlers from Asia Minor. "Of course, we are searching for an opportunity to make DNA and other analyses which our museum can't afford, to see if this hypothesis is correct," Chakarov said.

"The discovery of such tombs in the territory of Bulgaria is not a surprise, since the climate and soils are very good for growing agricultural crops," Ivan Tsarov, director of the Veliko Tarnovo Regional History Museum, said in an email. "Probably the tombs are of rich landowners," Tsarov said, since "it was the practice in Moesia Inferior for landowners to live in the warmer months of the year and be buried on their estates."

The artifacts discovered during the excavation are still being processed in the museum laboratory, where they are undergoing conservation and restoration, according to Tsarov. These include objects used during the deceased's lifetime, as well as those that would accompany them into the afterlife. In addition to jewelry made of glass beads and gold, there were six coins that dated to between A.D. 200 and 225, as well as a lamp, a leather shoe and several glass bottles, three of which were "lacrimaria," small flasks for collecting the tears of mourners.

"I think that it is a sad family story from the first half of the 3rd century," Chakarov said. "A dead infant, buried by their parents, who had their last resting place on the same spot where they buried their child."

Chakarov plans to conduct work in the area to try to find where these people lived, which he thinks was likely close to this newly discovered cemetery.

Trifon Zarezan, also known as Vintner's Day, is a cherished Bulgarian national holiday celebrated on February 14th, coinciding with Saint Valentine's Day. While Saint Valentine's Day is widely associated with romance and love, Trifon Zarezan holds a unique place in Bulgarian culture, honoring Saint Tryphon, the patron saint of vineyards, winegrowers, and gardeners.

The day is celebrated by winegrowers, gardeners, innkeepers, it is also called wine day. Name day is celebrated by: Trifon, Trifonka, Lozan, Lozana, Grozdan, Grozdana, Radko, Racho.

According to the Orthodox Church, the Holy Martyr Tryphon was born around 225 A.D. in the village of Kampsada in Phrygia, Asia Minor, Roman Empire. Even as a child, Saint Tryphon was able to perform miracles thanks to his prayers to God.

The Roman Emperor Gordian(238-244) had a daughter Gordiana who became seriously ill and no one could cure her, he ordered to find a man named Tryphon who was said to have healing powers. Tryphon was brought to Rome and by the grace of God healed Gordiana, which led to the conversion of many. Gordian's successor, Decius Trajan, however, was not so kind. The new emperor began to persecute the Christians, ordered them to be forced to renounce the faith and return to paganism. Emperor Decius Trajan put on trial all Christians who refused to renounce their faith, including Saint Tryphon, who was martyred.

Traditions and customs

In the Bulgarian tradition, February 14th is associated with the first spring pruning of the vines. During the morning service, worshipers offer prayers for the Church (the Lord's vineyard) and for the well-being of the harvest, using the symbolic pruning as a ritual act that combines the religious and traditional aspects of the holiday. Vintners worship the saint, the heavenly patron of the harvest and guardian of pests.

According to ethnographers, the custom of celebrating Trifon Zarezan dates back to ancient times, when the Thracian tribes produced aromatic and strong wine. The intoxicating drink helped the priests to connect with the gods, which is why the Thracians created a cult for it. It is believed that it is Saint Tryphon who is a later "successor" of the god Dionysus, as told by Bulgarian History. The feast of Trifon Zarezan coincides with the Dionysian feasts, when boisterous bacchanals danced in honor of wine.

After the blessings, the ritual games and the pouring of wine, all those present sat together at the table, and some even drank too much. The ritual food for the vineyard, which was prepared by the women, included a loaf decorated with dough figures in the shape of a grape leaf or grape. Other dishes included boiled, then stuffed with rice, chicken, cheese and fat. It is a specially prepared food that is consumed during the rituals and rites associated with the celebration of Trifon Zarezan, and is considered a symbol of fertility and abundance in future harvests.

Everyone elected the "King of the Vineyards", usually the most respected man in the village. They decorated him with a wreath and boxwood - again a reference to the god Dionysus. After the feast, the "king" got on a "chariot", went around the houses, and the hosts served him a white cauldron of wine - first he drank, and then the attendants. They watered him with the remaining wine, saying the blessing: "Come on, let it be blessed!" Let it flow through the thresholds!", and he answered "Amen".

The horo played a key role in the celebration - it is danced at the common table in the vineyards, as well as next to the village. Finally, in the center of the village, the so-called Zarezansko or Trifonsko horo is danced. It was believed that on this day no one should come home sober - it was not a good omen.

Saint Valentine's Day in Bulgaria

Interestingly, the celebration of Trifon Zarezan shares its date with Saint Valentine's Day, a global holiday associated with love and romance. While Saint Valentine's Day is marked by gestures of affection and expressions of love, Trifon Zarezan pays homage to the agrarian roots of Bulgarian society, highlighting the importance of wine cultivation and harvest.

Still, nowadays in Bulgaria, Saint Valentine's Day is celebrated with enthusiasm, often regarded as a day of love and romance similar to many Western countries. While not a traditional Bulgarian holiday, Saint Valentine's Day has gained popularity over the years, especially among younger generations. On February 14th, couples exchange gifts, flowers, and chocolates as tokens of affection, and it's common for people to go out for romantic dinners or spend quality time together. Many shops and restaurants decorate their premises with hearts and other Valentine's Day-themed decorations, creating a festive atmosphere across cities and towns in Bulgaria.

Additionally, Saint Valentine's Day provides an opportunity for Bulgarians to express their love and appreciation not only for romantic partners but also for friends and family members. It's a day when heartfelt messages and gestures of kindness are shared widely, reinforcing the bonds of affection among loved ones. While rooted in Christian tradition, the celebration of Saint Valentine's Day in Bulgaria transcends religious boundaries, serving as a universal occasion to celebrate love and friendship in all its forms.

On this day, a name day is celebrated: Valentin, Valentina, Valjo, Valyu, Valya

While Saint Valentine's Day may dominate the global stage with its romantic allure, Trifon Zarezan shines as a testament to Bulgaria's rich cultural tapestry, where tradition, faith, and the spirit of community converge in celebration.

Trinity Taught In A.D. 222 by Origen

John the apostle died around A.D. 100. Since then, Theophilus of Antioch in A.D. 181, Tertullian in A.D. 216, Origen in A.D. 225, and thousands of other church fathers have spoken on the doctrine of the Trinity and how it comes from God. Today we will look at what Origen said in A.D. 225. It is written, “for we do not hold that which the heretics imagine: that some part of the being of God was…

Septimius Severus ruled ancient Rome as emperor for nearly two decades, and a seven-foot-tall statue that researchers say depicts him presided over the Greek and Roman galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the past 12 years.

But now the headless bronze statue, dating to 225 A.D. and valued at $25 million, is gone, one of the latest antiquities to be seized from the museum, whose collection has been repeatedly cited in recent months as containing looted artifacts.

The investigators who seized the statue said it had been stolen from Bubon, an archaeological site in southwest Turkey, in the 1960s. Another 17 items at the museum were characterized as looted artifacts in seizure actions filed by the Manhattan district attorney’s office over the past three months.

Those filings are part of a larger surge of warrants and seizure orders issued recently by the prosecutors to recover illicitly obtained antiquities from museums, galleries, auction houses and collectors across the United States, according to court records.

In addition to the Met, the authorities seized items from the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Princeton University Art Museum and the Fordham University Museum of Greek, Etruscan and Roman Art, according to court records.

The statue of the emperor, which was on loan to the Met from a Swiss lender, is one of three items from the museum that are being returned to Turkey. Researchers said the statue was most likely one of a group of figures originally set up in a shrine in Bubon where members of the imperial family were worshiped during the period when Rome ruled the area.

“It was a shrine to the imperial cult,” said Elizabeth Marlowe, director of the museum studies program at Colgate University, who has tracked the statue’s history.

The bronze is important, in part, she said, because it is so rare. “This was a repository of extraordinary sculptures,” she said. “Most bronze statues were melted down in antiquity. But this site was somehow neglected. They were buried. They survived.”

History depicts Septimius Severus, who ruled from 193 to 211 A.D., as a wily African-born Roman general who outmaneuvered four rivals to assume the emperor’s seat and establish a new imperial dynasty. When it put the statue on display in the museum’s Roman Court in 2011, the Met identified the bronze as “Statue of a Male Nude Figure” without specifying the figure’s identity, and in a wall label said there was reason to question whether it was a depiction of the emperor. But researchers and the district attorney’s office have identified it as a statue of Septimius Severus.

A second antiquity that will be returned to Turkey from the Met is a bronze head of Caracalla, Severus’s eldest son, that is thought to have been made between 211 and 217 A.D. and is valued at $1.25 million. Caracalla succeeded Severus as emperor and had a reputation as a tyrant who used fear and bloodshed to rule. Researchers said they believe the bronze head was also looted from Bubon.

Recovering items stolen from Bubon and other sites has been a major goal of Turkish officials for decades. In the 1960s, investigators said, statues were dug up by local farmers and sold, rather than reported to the Turkish government as was required by a 1906 law and other statutes.

“The looting back then was done as a commercial enterprise for the villagers,” said Matthew Bogdanos, the chief of the district attorney’s Antiquities Trafficking Unit.

He said that farmers had used tractors to dig at the site, which had been largely buried under soil and debris from centuries of earthquakes and landscape changes.

The prosecutors were aided in their inquiry by investigators from U.S. Homeland Security Investigations and Turkish authorities.

The return of antiquities “sends a clear and strong message to all smugglers, dealers and collectors that illegal purchase, possession and sale of cultural artifacts will have consequences,” Reyhan Ozgur, Turkey’s consul general in New York, said at a ceremony last week when 12 items, valued at $33 million, were given back to Turkish officials.

A Veg Passage Quoted by Elaine Pagels in, The Gnostic Gospels

"Trade routes between the Greco-Roman world and the Far East were opening up at the time when gnosticism flourished (A.D. 80-200); for generations, Buddhist missionaries had been proselytizing in Alexandria. We note, too, that Hippolytus, who was a Greek-speaking Christian in Rome (c.225), knows of the Indian Brahmins and includes their tradition among the sources of heresy:

"'There is . . . among the Indians a heresy of those who philosophize among the Brahmins, who live a self-sufficient life, abstaining from (eating) living creatures and all cooked food . . . They say that God is light, not like the light one sees, nor like the sun nor fire, but to them God is discourse, not that which finds expression in articulate sounds, but that of knowledge (gnosis) through which the secret mysteries of nature are perceived by the wise.24'"

Ancient Egyptian 'Mummy Portraits' From Nearly 2 Millennia Ago

These ancient 'mummy portraits' provide a window into ancient Egyptian life and culture.

In the early first millennium, many mummies in Egypt were affixed with lifelike portraits showcasing the deceased's once-vivid eyes, styled hair and elaborate jewelry. Over the past few centuries, archaeologists have unearthed more than 1,000 of these mummy paintings, largely from the city of Fayum, earning them the name "Fayum portraits."

These well-preserved, mesmerizing portraits still captivate, prompting Allard Pierson, a museum in Amsterdam, to feature nearly 40 Fayum portraits in its exhibit "Face to Face: The People Behind Mummy Portraits," which opened Oct. 6 and runs through Feb. 25, 2024.

The portraits, created during Egypt's Roman period (30 B.C. to A.D. 395), often depict individuals with European heritage, who moved to the area following Alexander the Great's rule, the subsequent Ptolemaic dynasty (305 to 30 B.C.) led by one of his generals and the Roman period, when the empire made Egypt into a province.

The portraits were often painted on wooden panels with the two upper corners cut off so they could be easily inserted into the mummy bandages, over the face of the mummified body, Ben van den Bercken, curator of the Collection Ancient Egypt and Sudan at Allard Pierson saiid.

Below are 12 of the portraits, each revealing hints about the deceased and their culture.

Portrait of Ammonius

In the restored "Portrait of 'Ammonius,'" painted on linen sometime between A.D. 225 and 250, a young man holds a chalice in one hand and a flower bouquet in the other. The artist gave Ammonius several distinctive features, including large lips, prominent ears, eye bags and strangely curved fingers, according to the book "Mummy Portraits in the J. Paul Getty Museum" (Oxford University Press, 1982).

Pearl earrings

This portrait, painted between A.D. 150 and 200 on wood, shows a young woman with brown doe eyes, a slender nose and thick eyebrows. Pearls, like the ones she wears, are one of the "most ubiquitous" types of earrings in the Fayum portraits, van den Bercken said. Jewelry and hairstyles can help researchers date the portraits, he noted. For instance, women's hairdos could "be very elaborate" and often reflected fashions and trends from Rome itself, "mainly [from] the empress," he said.

However, it's always a question how long it took the fashions of Rome to reach Egypt. In some cases, "something fashionable in Egypt might have already gone out of fashion in Rome itself," van den Bercken said.

Bearded man

In this portrait, painted on wood sometime between A.D. 175 and 225, we see a curly-haired, bearded man clad in white. The man's beard may mimic the facial hair of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (reign 161 to 180), who also sported a beard.

Elegant jewelry

This portrait, painted on wood sometime between A.D. 175 and 200, shows a dark-haired woman wearing a matching necklace and earrings. However, as in other Fayum portraits, it's unclear if it portrays the deceased when they were younger or around the time of death.

In some cases, the portraits were fairly accurate, according to a 2020 study in the journal PLOS One. A team took a CT (computed tomography) scan of a young boy's mummy from Roman Egypt, digitally reconstructed his face and then compared the reconstruction with his portrait. According to an analysis, the portrait made the child look younger than his 3 or 4 years but was otherwise spot-on.

Vivid eyes

This male portrait, painted circa A.D. 250 on limewood, was purchased in the early 1800s by Henry Salt, the British vice-consul in Egypt, making it one of the earliest Fayum portraits recovered in the modern age, according to "Mummy Portraits in the J. Paul Getty Museum."

The earliest record of a Fayum portrait being collected dates to 1615, when a group of the paintings was brought from Saqqara, Egypt, to Europe by the Roman nobleman Pietro della Valle.

Girl with gold wreath

In this portrait, painted on wood between A.D. 120 and 130, we see a young girl wearing a pearl necklace and a golden wreath in her hair. "This wreath is an indication that she 'overcame' death," van den Bercken said.

Man with gold wreath

Women weren't the only ones painted with gold wreaths. In this portrait, painted on wood sometime between A.D. 150 and 200, we see a bearded man sporting his own gold laurels.

Realistic portraiture

This portrait, painted circa A.D. 150, shows a man clothed in white and wearing a gold wreath. The Fayum portraits' compelling images inspired artists painting icons in the late Byzantine Empire, as well as artists in the late 19th and 20th centuries, according to Allard Pierson. Today, this style is seen as one of the earliest known examples of realistic painted portraiture.

Curly-haired man

This man's beard helped researchers date his portrait to the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Like others with portraits, the man painted here may have had European roots. Many Greeks and Romans lived in Egypt, first during the Ptolemaic dynasty, which started when one of Alexander the Great's generals took over the region, and later when Rome made Egypt into a province following the death of Cleopatra VII.

Eyes and eyelashes

This portrait, painted on wood between A.D. 300 and 400, shows a woman wearing pearl earrings. "A lot of detail has been put in the composition of eyes and eyelashes," van den Bercken said. A few clues hint that the deceased were upper-middle class or elite, including that many wore ornate jewelry in these portraits. In addition, individuals or their families had to pay an artist for the portrait. "They were not easy to make, not cheap to make resource-wise," van den Bercken said. "The people who ordered them must have had some financial means to do this."

Fancy necklace

This woman's portrait was painted sometime between A.D. 160 and 190. The majority of known Fayum portraits were found in the 1800s, but in 2022, archaeologists announced that they had discovered more at a cemetery in the ancient city of Philadelphia in Egypt.

Bright-eyed woman

This portrait, painted on wood between A.D. 170 and 200, was found in Egypt in the 1880s, according to "Mummy Portraits in the J. Paul Getty Museum." The woman wears pearl earrings, a necklace, a hot-pink tunic and black clavi, or vertical strips of ornamentation. Her curly hair is drawn into a bun.

Roman

Portrait Figure of a Ruler

c. A.D. 200 - 225

Bronze

Museum of Fine Arts Houston

This larger-than-life-size bronze depicts a Roman emperor with godlike perfect proportions. The first Roman emperor, Augustus followed the example of antiquity’s most famous conqueror. Alexander the Great, and declared himself divine. Subsequent emperors did the same and their statues and monuments portrayed them as perfect gods with little regard for their actual appearances.

This rare bronze stand proudly, his lifted arm once held a lance in a gesture of victorious authority. It was probably made for an imperial cult temple in Asia Minor, where the emperor was worshipped.
