This book offers a comprehensive overview of the tombs of Pompeii and its immediate environs, examining the funerary culture of the population, delving into the importance of social class and self-representation, and developing a broad understanding of Pompeii’s funerary epigraphy and business. The Pompeian corpus of evidence has heretofore been studied in a piecemeal fashion, not conducive to assessing trends and practices. Here, a holistic approach to the funerary monuments allows for the integration of data from five different necropoleis and analysis of greater accuracy and scope. Author Virginia Campbell demonstrates that the funerary practices of Pompeii are, in some ways, unique in to the population, moving away from the traditional approach to burial based on generalizations and studies of typology. She shows that while some trends in Roman burial culture can be seen as universal, each population, time, and place constructs its own approach to commemoration and display. Including an extensive catalogue of tomb data and images never before assembled or published, this collective approach reveals new insights into ancient commemoration. The Tombs of Pompeii is the first English-language book on Pompeian funerary rituals. It’s also the first in any language to provide a complete survey of the tombs of Pompeii and the first to situate Pompeian differences within a wider Roman burial context.

The purpose of this work is to create a comprehensive, complete overview of the monumental tombs in the immediate environs of Pompeii, studying in detail the funerary culture of a particular population, including area-specific variation and change, whilst also assessing the importance of social class for the tendency to invest in self-representation, developing a clearer understanding of aspects of Pompeii's funerary epigraphy, and insight into the municipal organisation of the funerary business. The entire corpus of evidence has, heretofore, been studied in a piecemeal fashion, and is not conducive to accurately assessing overall trends and practices. A holistic approach to the funerary monuments creates the ability to integrate a range of data from five different necropoleis, allowing for analysis of both greater accuracy and scope. This collective approach to the monumental tombs has revealed new information pertaining to a number of aspects of commemoration. These include: the development of individual profiles for each necropolis; the importance of the extra-mural environment; legal regulation of public land and burial by the ordo as represented by the inclusion of 'ex decreta decurionum' in an epitaph; local trends in funerary epigraphy; and a lack of discernible class or social status identifiers in determining tomb type or location.

The most comprehensive book on Roman burial practices—now available in paperback Never before available in paperback, J. M. C. Toynbee's study is the most comprehensive book on Roman burial practices. Ranging throughout the Roman world from Rome to Pompeii, Britain to Jerusalem—Toynbee's book examines funeral practices from a wide variety of perspectives. First, Toynbee examines Roman beliefs about death and the afterlife, revealing that few Romans believed in the Elysian Fields of poetic invention. She then describes the rituals associated with burial and mourning: commemorative meals at the gravesite were common, with some tombs having built-in kitchens and rooms where family could stay overnight. Toynbee also includes descriptions of the layout and finances of cemeteries, the tomb types of both the rich and poor, and the types of grave markers and monuments as well as tomb furnishings.
