Abstract

The Early Christian community at Trier left behind a wide range of fascinating evidence which enables us to shed light on their origins, social backgrounds, burial rites, and individual fates in times of radical political and cultural change between the 4th and 8th c. AD. The findings discussed here refer to burials from a 4th c. cemetery basilica discovered beneath the church of the former Benedictine abbey of St. Maximin. The exceptionally large late antique burial hall, and the special quality of its inscriptions, textiles and other finds can be explained by the patronage of the imperial court at Trier and highlight its position in comparison to other Early Christian centres in the surrounding area.
