  1. Hercules' Club

    Hercules' Club is a Roman Empire and Migration era artefact type. Roman era Hercules's Clubs appear from the 2nd to 3rd century, spread over the empire, mostly made of gold, shaped like wooden clubs. A specimen found in Köln-Nippes bears the inscription "DEO HER[culi]", confirming the association with Hercules. Indeed, already Tacitus mentions a special affinity of the Germans for Hercules, stating There are two basic types, the smaller type cast in molds, and the larger wrought from sheet metal. A type of bone pendants found in Iron Age Palestine is also associated with the Club-of-Hercules jewelry of the Roman era. A votive mace made of bronze found in Willingham Fen, Cambridgeshire in 1857 follows the Roman model in shape and the representation of wooden knobs on the club, but adding indigenous iconography by depicting animal heads, anthropomorphic figures and a wheel at the club's base. In the 5th to 7th centuries, during the Germanic migration, the amulet type rapidly spreads from the Elbe Germanic area across Europe. These Germanic "Donar's Clubs" were made from deer antler, bone or wood, more rarely also from bronze or precious metals. They are found exclusively in female graves, apparently worn either as a belt pendant, or as an ear pendant.
