In this episode we delve into the profound themes of death and the afterlife through the lens of Roman funerary art.
An unnamed matron, captured in a small relief in the grandest hall of the Borghese Gallery, prompts us to reflect on how the Romans approached the end of life — embracing the moment and finding joy in even the simplest pleasures.
But what happens to those left behind?
The poignant tribute to the poetess Petronia Musa envelops us in the sorrow of loss and underscores the enduring significance of remembrance.
