Description

Explore the funerary culture of Rome during a transformative era with Crisis and Ambition. Published by Oxford University Press, this work provides a holistic view of burial customs in the third century AD. While often overlooked in social history, this transitional period faced significant political, economic, and social challenges that drove innovation and shaped the systems of late antiquity. Barbara Borg uses tombs and burial customs as a primary source for social history. Because these monuments express the contemporary ideology of a society, they offer deep insight into the values of the time. This book examines how these commemorative practices reflect the creativity and changes occurring in Rome and its surroundings during this era of transition.
