Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough analysis of public funerals in ancient Rome, with a particular focus on the evolution of these elaborate ceremonies from the early Republic to the late Empire. The author examines the historical significance of these public spectacles, their political and social functions, and their impact on Roman culture and society. The author argues that public funerals were not merely private affairs, but rather grand political events that served to reinforce the authority of the state and to promote the values of Roman society. Through a close examination of literary sources, epigraphic evidence, and archaeological remains, the author reconstructs the rituals and practices associated with public funerals, from the initial mourning period to the final cremation or burial. The book also explores the role of public funerals in shaping the public perception of individuals and families, and in creating a sense of collective identity among the Roman people. The author demonstrates how these ceremonies were used to honor and commemorate the lives of prominent Romans, to articulate political and social values, and to promote the interests of the ruling elite. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of public funerals in ancient Rome, shedding new light on the social, political, and cultural significance of these elaborate rituals.
