=Italy.=--In the earliest period inhumation was the custom in Italy,

but cremation gradually became more and more common. The Twelve Tables

(450 B.C.) show both practices prevailing side by side. The hut-urns

(Nos. =675= and =676=; fig. 259) found at Monte Albano, near Rome, are

evidence of cremation having been practised at a very early date in

Italy (eighth to seventh century B.C.). They served as receptacles for

the ashes of the dead, and are an instance of the custom of making

the last resting-place of the deceased as like as possible to his

habitation during life. They represent rude wattled huts, in which

the roof-beams of rough branches can be clearly distinguished. The

Etruscan tomb-chambers, one of which is shown in a picture in Case 59,

furnish a later instance (seventh to sixth century B.C.) of sepulchres

built in imitation of living-rooms. A small model (in Case 59) of an

Etruscan built tomb shows the skeleton in armour, with painted

vases placed about it (No. =677=). The Etruscan cinerary urns are

distinguished by the frequent introduction of the portrait. The

"Canopic" urns, which take the shape of jars roughly in the form of

a human body and head, are especially noteworthy. The example

illustrated (No. =678=, fig. 260), probably of the seventh century

B.C., has the face pierced with numerous holes, most likely for the

attachment of a mask. Two Etruscan sepulchral masks (No. =679=) in

terracotta, of about the end of the sixth century B.C., are exhibited

near the Canopic urn and are shown in fig. 261. These remarkable masks

are covered with incised designs, most likely of magic significance,

intended to avert evil from the dead. A separate half-mask (No. =680=)

of this type is exhibited here, and another will be found with the

objects illustrating superstition in Case 106. In these masks we can

see the innate Italian tendency to preserve the features of the dead,

and we may perhaps recognise in them the origin of the waxen portrait

masks of his ancestors which the Roman noble set up in his hall.

The portrait is again found on the lid of the sixth-century Etruscan

funeral urn (No. =681=; fig. 262) in Case 59. Here a draped woman lies

on a couch of elaborate form, decorated below with a relief of two

lions devouring a bull. A kindred type of Etruscan funeral monument

will be seen in the two large terracotta sarcophagi in the Terracotta

Room.

With rare exceptions (conspicuously in the case of members of the

noble families of the Cornelian house and all infants) the Romans,

during the period of the Republic, burned their dead. This system

continued under the early Empire, but gradually gave way to burial

under the influence of Christianity. Several examples of Roman

cinerary urns and sepulchral relief are here shown. These urns are of

various shapes, but the altar-form (No. =682=; fig. 263) was specially

favoured. The inscription gives the names of L. Dexius Clymenus and C.

Sergius Alcimus. The latter, a child of three and a quarter, is stated

to have received his portion of corn on the tenth day at the office of

distribution numbered XXXIX, a curious side-light on the practice

of free distribution of corn under the Roman Empire, already noticed

above (p. 11). Other Roman funeral urns which may be mentioned are the

vase (No. =683=) with the remains of L. Laelius Victor, a soldier of

the fourteenth city cohort, and the alabaster caskets numbered

=684= and =685=. These urns of the wealthier classes were generally

deposited in a vault underneath a monument placed at the side of one

of the great roads leading from the city gates. Those, however, who

could not afford such expensive monuments subscribed for a joint tomb

(_columbarium_), a large chamber containing in its walls numerous

niches for the urns. An interesting tablet (No. =686=) in Case 62

throws light on the arrangements adopted in the case of these joint

tombs. It is inscribed with the name of P. Sontius Philostorgus and

marked the niche in which the urn containing his ashes was placed. The

inscription reads: "Lot I in block III." From other inscriptions of

the same character it appears that the niches were arranged in five

horizontal rows of thirty-six, and that each of the members of the

burial club was allotted one place in each of the five rows.

[Illustration: FIG. 264.--TOMBSTONE OF AURELIUS HERMIA AND HIS WIFE

(NO. 687). Width 3 ft. 5 in.]

Another noteworthy monument is (No. =687=) an inscribed relief of the

first century B.C., belonging to Aurelius Hermia, a butcher from

the Viminal hill, and his wife Aurelia Philematio(n), who are seen

clasping hands (fig. 264). The husband praises the virtues of his

wife, and the wife those of her husband, her fellow-freedman, who had

been more than a father to her. Other interesting inscriptions from

tombstones are No. =688=, on a hunting dog named Margarita, a great

favourite with her master and mistress, who died in giving birth to

puppies, and No. =689=, which sheds light on the memorial ceremonies

after burial. A testator here leaves seven twenty-fourths of the rent

accruing from a block of flats to his freedmen and freedwomen, on

condition that they celebrate his memory four times in a year--on his

birthday, the Day of Roses, the Day of Violets, and the feast of

the Parentalia, the last the Roman All Souls' Day, held publicly in

February, but privately on the anniversary of the day of death.

A lighted lamp, with incense, was to be placed on the tomb on the

Kalends, Nones, and Ides, the three dividing days of each month.

The funeral wreaths from Hawara (Cases 57, 58; No. =666=, see p. 219)

are an instance of offerings at tombs belonging to the Roman period.

They have been so thoroughly preserved in the dry climate of Egypt

that the different varieties of flowers can still be distinguished.

Transcriber's Note

- - represents italic text; = = represents bold text; + + represents

strong text, sans serif. ^ denotes a superscript.

| inserted by the author to represent the end of a line of carving

on a document or monument. Sometimes | occurs in the middle of a

In the all-caps Greek text, the book preserves some different Greek

letter-forms.

Compare the capital theta with a cross at the top of

p. 77, and theta with a dot at the bottom of p. 130.

There is a

V-like upsilon on p. 77, l. 7, and Y-like upsilon on p. 77, l. 12.

There is a capital lunate sigma, and an alpha with a v-shaped

crossbar on p. 202 ... and on p. 161, as a marking in silver on an

ounce weight with another symbol.

And there is the zeta like a rotated H on p. 6, and an upper and

lower case Koppa (Qoppa), and the Digamma (wau, stigm).

C.I.L. is abbreviation for '_Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum_'.

From Wikipedia (https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digamma):

Digamma, waw, or wau (uppercase: (F), lowercase: (F), numeral:

[Greek: st]) is an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet.

It originally stood for the sound /w/ but it has principally

remained in use as a Greek numeral for 6.

Whereas it was originally called waw or wau, its most common

appellation in classical Greek is digamma; as a numeral, it was

called epis[=e]mon during the Byzantine era and is now known as

stigma after the value of the Byzantine ligature combining

[Greek: s-t] ... In modern Greek, this is often replaced by the

digraph [Greek: st].

([=e] represents e-macron)
