The fifth century was a time of significant historical events and cultural artifacts. In 493, the death of Odoacer marked the end of his reign as he was killed by Theodoric, king of the Ostrogoths. This event shaped the political landscape of that era. Artifacts from different civilizations also provide insights into this period. A Mayan shell pectoral dating back to around 450-650 showcases the profile torso of a dignitary, highlighting their status and importance in society. Similarly, a Teotihuacan stone mask carved with a youthful face from the same timeframe offers a glimpse into ancient Mesoamerican culture. Archaeological excavations at Silchester reveal remnants from this era through captivating black and white photographs. These images transport us to an earlier time, allowing us to witness history being unearthed before our eyes. Religious beliefs were also prevalent during this period as depicted in St. John's vision where he witnesses the resurrection of two witnesses while people flee from city walls; illustrating both faith and fear coexisting during these tumultuous times. Another Teotihuacan stone mask portrays yet another dignitary's face carved between 450-650 AD, showcasing artistic craftsmanship prevalent during this age. Mayan lidded and carved tripod vessels dating back to 250-450 AD showcase intricate designs that reflect their advanced pottery techniques and aesthetic sensibilities. A Nazca polychrome vessel resembling a dignitary's head with goatee further exemplifies diverse artistic expressions found across different cultures during this epoch. Historical records such as engravings depict significant events like "The coming of Vandals" in Spain during early fifth century; providing valuable insights into migratory patterns and power shifts within Europe at that time. Maps created in the nineteenth century give us an overview of Europe towards the end of the fifth century - offering geographical context for understanding how societies evolved over time on this continent.
