That's only an abstract I'm afraid. I'll try to photocopy the article tomorrow though.

Quote:Also from the same author:

Here are a couple more by Dr. Hope that I find indispensable in this area

2001 Constructing identity. The Roman funerary monuments of Aquileia, Mainz, and Nimes. BAR International Series 960.
(which has one of the best chapters I've ever read about military tombstones, focusing on Mainz and building on her earlier article. Especially interesting for the statistics she gives comparing military with civilian tombstones)

And these two also focus more on military tombstones than non-military:

1997a “Words and pictures. The interpretation of Romano-British tombstonesâ€

Thanks Lisa! Laudes! Big Grin


Re: Trophies and Tombstones: Commemorating the Roman Soldier - Jon Eaton - 02-27-2007

With regard to the above, I am having trouble tracking down-

G. Oliver (ed.), Funerary Inscriptions: Problems and Prospects. Liverpool Classical Press (2000).

It appears that it was in fact published as -

G.J. Oliver (ed.) The Epigraphy of Death: Studies in the History and Society of Greece and Rome, Liverpool University Press (2000)

Want more space?


Re: Trophies and Tombstones: Commemorating the Roman Soldier - M. CVRIVS ALEXANDER - 02-27-2007

Sure! I might be able to get some articles through Emory U and upload them from time to time.


Re: Trophies and Tombstones: Commemorating the Roman Soldier - Praefectusclassis - 02-27-2007

Done. But be careful with copyrights Alex.
