death, memory, pain and epigraphyAbstract
Recent studies have shown a continuous increase of analyses of the ways in which people die, treatment of the bodies, types of graves, deposit location at the burial site, artifacts, identity constructions in sarcophagi and reliefs, aside from the funerary landscape. Taking into consideration the relevance of mortuary representations in the Roman Mediterranean, we will analyze, in historic terms, the social experience of death, as it encompasses the way in which the dead in the society came to be remembered or, depending on the circumstances, condemned to oblivion. Relating to the topic, the document repertory contemplates the tombstone of Lucius Trebius Diuus. Therefore, we will focus on the most particular and emotional dimensions of remembrance of the dead, as the grave could become a place for pilgrimage and reverence, a house or sanctuary for the dead, and the associations of the dead with the deities and their attributes, that not only kept his name alive, but met the emotional needs of survivors. From there, we will trace reflections on public expressions of pain and the insertion of more particular and emotional dimensions in the ways in which the dead were remembered in Roman society.
