BEYOND THE GRAVE: DEATH IN ANCIENT TIMES
In spite of the distance of time, it is possible to catch a glimpse of what
death meant for ordinary Greeks and Romans through the artefacts
they left behind. Beyond the Grave includes poignant inscriptions on
tombstones, dramatic scenes in plays, carefully sculpted memorials,
and detailed images of funeral rites painted on vases. All these point
to the fact that in ancient times, as now, how we approach the subject
of death can reveal a great deal about what each of our cultures values
most about life. Free admission.
