Death, Funerary Customs, and Ancestor Veneration in Ancient Rome
Spooky season continues! While ancestor veneration isn’t necessarily spooky, and the spirits who are given offerings are usually benevolent, this season marks the time when the veil between worlds is thinnest. In this video, I discuss how the ancient Romans thought about death, the funerary practices they engaged in, their conception of the afterlife, and the veneration of their ancestors during the month of February.
How do you honor your ancestors? Lmk down below!
