The investigations have returned significant data on funerary gestures, definition that includes both practices referable exclusively to practical needs or customs, and gestures connected more directly to a conscious and voluntary ritual. The testimonies offer significant insights into the way in which the Christian community of Canusium addressed the need for remembrance of the dead. The contexts, sometimes characterized by quite peculiar elements, can represent valuable comparisons regarding funerary practices in late antiquity, also because they are associated with a rather circumstantial and well-defined chronology.

Abstract
The investigations have returned significant data on funerary gestures, definition that includes both practices referable exclusively to practical needs or customs, and gestures connected more directly to a conscious and voluntary ritual. The testimonies offer significant insights into the way in which the Christian community of Canusium addressed the need for remembrance of the dead. The contexts, sometimes characterized by quite peculiar elements, can represent valuable comparisons regarding funerary practices in late antiquity, also because they are associated with a rather circumstantial and well-defined chronology.File in questo prodotto:
