LIFE AND DEATH IN THE ROMAN SUBURB C

Life and Death in the Roman Suburb introduces new ways of understanding Roman cities as well as ancient attitudes towards death and the dead. Drawing on recent archaeological projects from across Italy, Emmerson shows how Roman cities created suburbs where the living and the dead came together in a new type of urban neighbourhood.
