Tumulus of Nickenich, Archaeological burial mound in Nickenich, Germany.
The Tumulus of Nickenich features a circular stone foundation measuring seven meters in diameter, constructed with tuff blocks from the Roman quarry Meurin.
Excavations in 1931 revealed stone blocks joined by wooden or metal clamps, indicating advanced construction techniques from the first century CE.
The inscription stone combines Celtic and Roman elements, displaying names like Contuvinda and Silvano, representing the cultural fusion in the region.
The original artifacts and structures from the tumulus are now preserved and displayed at the Rheinish State Museum in Bonn for public viewing.
Three niche-like stelae with lion heads were discovered four meters from the main structure, containing reliefs of figures wearing Roman clothing.
