Reported by Heritage Daily:

Archaeologists from the University of Bologna have uncovered a princely tomb in the Corinaldo Necropolis, located in the province of Ancona, Italy.

This follows on from a previous discovery in 2018, where the so-called “Prince of Corinaldo” was discovered at the Corinaldo Necropolis.

In a recent excavation led by Dr. Cecilia Carlorosi and Ilaria Venanzoni, archaeologists have uncovered a quadrangular tomb at the centre of a large circular pit.

The tomb measures 3.8 by 2.2 metres and contains over 150 ornate objects placed as funerary offerings. This includes the remains of a two-wheeled chariot, a set of bronze objects (including a helm), and numerous cauldrons and finely decorated vessels.
