The Kemathen warrior was a Germanic mercenary in the service of Rome who lived in the Limes foreland near the present-day German town of Kipfenberg and was honored in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt. The individual grave, which was discovered in 1990, contained not only parts of the skeleton of the 30-year-old man, but also numerous grave goods that distinguish him as a Roman officer as well as a Barbarian chieftain. His skeleton and the grave finds, together with a faithful replica of the tomb, are in the Roman and Bavarian Museum in Kipfenberg.
