Viac o knihe
English tomb inscriptions reveal insights into the lives of both famous and obscure Romans, granting a form of immortality to the deceased—from slaves to emperors. The phrase "The earth keeps the body, the name is kept by the stone" encapsulates the farewell rituals of Ancient Rome. Elaborate tomb monuments preserved vital information about the deceased's life, fate, career, and profession through inscriptions. This volume showcases a diverse array of tomb inscriptions, featuring individuals ranging from bakers to charioteers, and includes photographs, original texts, translations, and commentaries. These inscriptions can be found in prominent locations throughout Rome and in its most significant museums. Readers will gain the ability to understand these monuments in their historical context and appreciate their significance on-site. The book offers a comprehensive look at how these inscriptions convey the stories of both well-known figures and everyday individuals, enriching our understanding of Roman society and culture.
