Xanten Horse-Phalerae : ウィキペディア英語版 | Xanten Horse-Phalerae
The Xanten Horse-Phalerae is the name of a set of Roman silvered bronze horse-trappings found in Xanten, Germany. The set is now in the British Museum's Greek and Roman antiquities collection. One of the decorations bears an inscription meaning "while Pliny was prefect of cavalry". This provides an important link to the famous Roman historian Pliny the Elder, who later witnessed the destruction of Pompeii. ==History== The horse trappings were found in the early nineteenth century at the Roman city of ''Castra Vetera'' near modern-day Xanten in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Castra Vera was an important Roman army camp for the Classis Germanica regiment that provided protection and security along the frontier of the Roman Empire. The heightened military presence encouraged the development of a large city nearby that became the second largest settlement in the province of Germania Inferior.
