Abstract
The discovery of a small golden scroll in the grave of a Roman child with the words of the “Shema Israel” is exceptional in European archaeology, since it is the earliest proof of the presence of Jews in the region, which is now Austria. The child’s grave is part of the cemetery at Halbturn, which belongs to the estate of a Roman villa rustica. The main purpose of this paper is to describe the site, and to present the conditions and the context in which the amulet was found.
