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.
