Investigating the life in Rome through the tomb remainings
Paola Catalano speak about the cultural path from archeology to antropology: "the majority of the population was poor as in a Third World's country. Food was poor in proteins."
December 7th, 2006
"In about 50% of the burials we don't find any object together with he body, but this doesn't reveal if the guy was rich or poor, moreoften rich people were building
big monumental tombs to show their status. When we find a new tomb, we try to understand the causes of the death and this allow us to
discover many things about his life."
In the past years also many important findings were done, as example in 1995 was discovered the only roman mummy, the "Grottarossa child"
now exposed in the Museo Nazionale Romano.
