Roman Burial Practices

In this lecture we think about the various kinds of burial practices found in the Roman world, focusing in particular on: (i) the use of columbaria; (ii) the different objects that were stored in the niches of columbaria, including cinerary urns and marble busts; (ii) the kind of people whose remains were stored in columbaria; (iii) the extent to which cinerary urns were decorated; (iv) the use of tombstones; (v) the use of coffins – either wooden (which tend not to survive in the archaeological record) or stone (also known as sarcophagi); and (vi) the kinds of decoration found on sarcophagi, e.g. scenes from myth, battle scenes, scenes from everyday life, etc. -- This lecture is part of a larger course exploring Roman death and burial practices: massolit.io/courses/roman-death-and-burial?source=yt – MASSOLIT works with university academics to produce short video lectures in the arts, sciences, humanities and social sciences.
