Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes funerary inscriptions from ancient Rome to explore the themes of taedium vitae and the experience of death within Roman culture. The author discusses a wide range of emotions and ideas expressed on the stones, from grief and bereavement to resignation and relief. It examines how sentiments about death relate to Roman views of life, morality, and their place in the world. The book draws on sources across social strata, from common people to the upper classes, illuminating the spectrum of perspectives on death in Roman society, and the ways in which personal loss and beliefs about the afterlife could shape people's attitudes towards living. This book will be a significant resource for readers interested in ancient Roman culture, the evolution of ideas about death, and the relationship between personal and societal values.
