N2  - The "Luigi Cattaneo" Museum of Anatomical Waxes
of the University of Bologna houses a skull (Figure 1a,
3D virtual reconstruction Figure 1d) labelled as Skull
of Athalaric, King of the Ostrogoths (Cranio di Atalarico,
Re degli Ostrogoti), which represents the object of the
present analysis, aimed at assessing the genuineness of
the attribution as well as the health status of this
individual. To achieve this goal, a multidisciplinary
approach including historical, archival, anthropological,
paleopathological, paleoradiological analyses and
radiocarbon dating was implemented.
