SUMMARY:Burial and Betrayal
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registrati
 on is required\; click through for the registration link. The ancient 
 Roman cemetery is often framed as the domain of the “well deserving,
 ” as funerary monuments frequently formulaically assert. These dead 
 were deserving of proper burial\, of commemoration\, and of the ongoin
 g provision of offerings and other cult activities that both integrate
 d them into the community of the dead and maintained their relationshi
 ps with the living. But what might happen to the “badly deserving?�
 � By examining select case studies of social betrayal documented in Ro
 man cemeteries from the first three centuries CE\, this talk will expl
 ore efforts at enforcing postmortem punishments against those perceive
 d to have violated Roman social norms. It will argue that these storie
 s of betrayal\, while unique in their specifics\, together illuminate 
 the ways in which private individuals could seek to impose a form of a
 fterlife exile upon those they deemed guilty of social transgressions.
