Description
Book SynopsisLes pratiques funéraires en Pannonie de l’époque augustéenne à la fin du 3e siècle aims to give an overview of Roman burial practices in Pannonia during the Early Roman period. Among the different approaches proposed by R. Reece for the study of Roman cemeteries, this work focuses on the grave treatment and grave furnishing. The funerary practices are thus apprehended through the study of tomb structure, the selection and treatment of grave goods and human remains.
The book proposes a synthesis of the published finds to serve as a base for future research. The analysis consists of a documentary review (presented in the catalogue and numerous tables) as complete as possible from the published data, accompanied by a detailed analysis of the information available today to highlight the trends regarding the entire province but also the peculiarities that can be distinguished at the regional level. The analysis is supported by many graphics and maps. Many general trends, common to the western provinces of the Roman Empire, were detected but also many particularities linked to the economic and social situation of the communities, the different components of the population of Pannonia and the political and military history of the province.
Trade Review'The description of the difficulties concerning the compilation of the corpus is followed by the chronology and history of research. It is followed by the analysis of inhumation and cremation burials and then the discussion of grave cult. To separate the primary and secondary grave-goods and their interpretation by groups is a logical step at the description of the grave furniture. The author was capable to control the huge material and the aspects of his analyses composed many details.' – Dénes Gabler (2021): Acta Archaeologica
'András Márton has compiled an immense collection of material and presented an impressive work. This collection of material will be indispensable for future research on Roman burials in the Pannonian provinces and will serve as an important reference for other geographical areas of the Empire.' – Stephan Berke (2021): Germania 99
