Death and Burial in the Roman World

"Throughout this book one is continuously conscious of the richness of the material and the difficulties the author must have encountered in trying to keep her work within manageable proportions. This she has accomplished in masterly fashion, giving us enough o each topic to prevent her treatment ever being described as summary, and yet making us aware of unresolved questions and filled with the desire to know the answers...This is most certainly a book which will inspire further research, perhaps in the form of more detailed studies of burial rights in individual provinces and their development from earlier native customs which were neither Greek nor Etruscan."Toynbee, J. M. C. is the author of 'Death and Burial in the Roman World', published 1996 under ISBN 9780801855078 and ISBN 0801855071.
