Krátky popis
In this revealing and entertaining guide to how the Romans
confronted their own mortality, Peter Jones shows us that all the
problems associated with old age and death that so transfix us
today were already dealt with by our ancient ancestors two thousand
years ago. Romans inhabited a world where man, knowing nothing
about hygiene let alone disease, had no defences against nature.
Death was everywhere.Half of all Roman children were dead by the
age of five. Only eight per cent of the population made it over
sixty. One bizarre result was that half the population consisted of
teenagers.From the elites' philosophical take on the brevity of
life to the epitaphs left by butchers, bakers and buffoons, Memento
Mori ('Remember you die') shows how the Romans faced up to this
world and attempted to take the sting out of death.
