Memory and Mourning - Studies on Roman Death (Paperback)

This book explores the themes of memory and mourning from the Roman
deathbed to the Roman cemetery, drawing subject matter from the
literature, art, and archaeology of ancient Rome. It brings
together scholarship on varied aspects of Roman death,
investigating connections between ancient poetry, history and
oratory and placing these alongside archaeological and textual
evidence for Roman funerary and commemorative rituals. A series of
case studies centred on individual authors and/or specific aspects
of ritual behaviour, traces the story of Roman death: how the
inhabitants of the Roman world confronted their mortality, disposed
of the dead, remembered the dead and praised the dead, thereby
enhancing our understanding of Roman society.
