Via Appia Antica, tomb of Cecilia Metella


During pagan times, the Romans treated the remains of their relatives in two ways: incineration or inhumation. In the latter case, they performed the burial out of town along the roads.

Os Romanos, durante a época pagã, tratavam de dois modos os restos mortais dos seus familiares: incineração ou inumação. Nesta segunda hipótese executavam o sepultamento fora da cidade ao longo da rede viária.
