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 \u003ci\u003enecropoleis\u003c\/i\u003e and analysis of greater accuracy and scope. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Tombs of Pompeii\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirginia Campbell\u003c\/strong\u003e is Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford, UK.
