AT THE SERVICE OF LIBITINA
Studying the Roles of Mourning and Funeral Agents in the Rome of the Principate (1st Century CE)
Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the funerary professions of Ancient Rome and their professionals: those who served Libitina, the libitinarii. It sought to examine their regulations, hierarchies, and specialties. The primary methodology of this work was the documentary analysis of the Leges Libitinariae, an epigraphic inscription that outlines all the regulations regarding the funerary profession of the libitinarii. Literary sources from the Principate period were also used to study the specialties of these employees.Downloads
