The horror of the puticuli, the mass burial pits, and their
traditional association with the poor, has often led to this
socio-economic group being viewed as somehow different to the rest
of the ancient urban community in the Italy of the Late Roman
Republic. This is the theory questioned by the author of this
volume. Why should this part of the community care so little about
the disposal of the dead when other members of society were
devoting huge amounts of time and money to ensuring that the
deceased received not only burial, but also lasting commemoration?
