Description

• Title:
  Roman hortus as a symbol of the Eternal City. Sepulchral landscape within the city of Rome from the 4* century BCE to the l st century CE

  Dworniak, Justyna

As Roman culture developed, there evolved a tradition of building tombs which were to serve the living rather than the dead. This led to a widespread practice of designing “sepulchral landscapes” which became a fixed feature of Rome’s architectural space. Thus the necropolises gained a new function, becoming vibrant parks which offered an ideal locus amoenus .;
