Graham, E-J. 2006. The burial of the urban poor in Italy in the late Roman Republic and early Empire. BAR Int. Series 1565. Oxford, Archaeopress. (original) (raw)

This volume examines the burial practices of the urban poor in ancient Rome during the late Roman Republic and early Empire, challenging prevailing views that marginalize this socio-economic group. It aims to reintegrate the urban poor into discussions of Roman society by exploring their burial customs, societal attitudes, and the communal aspects of death practices. By utilizing a range of archaeological and historical sources, the author seeks to enrich the understanding of how the urban poor navigated their existence and identity within the larger urban landscape.
