Abstract

A woman’s grave found in the late Roman cemetery of the inner city of Nijmegen in 1957, and dated by 55 coins to the years 317-320 AD, contained in the place of the vanished right arm among other objects a miniature pair of scales and several North Sea shells. The scales are interpreted as an attribute of Sabazios worship in its Cologne variant; the shells as a passport to the happy part of the underworld: a common whelk showing that she had been initiated on various levels, and cockles in order to prove that she had ‘clammed up’ to the uninitiated about the rites.
