Die Goldbrakteaten der Völkerwanderungszeit Auswertung und Neufunde

With their rich iconography and runic inscriptions, the gold bracteates are one of the most important sources for research into Germanic religion. This volume combines contributions on the history of scholarship, iconography, chronology, the inscriptions and the names mentioned, as well as on the cultural and religious background to the bracteates. Together with a catalogue of new finds made since the completion of the Ikonographischer Katalog in 1989, this volume thus presents a work of fundamental importance for research on the subject.
