After I thought about what I wanted my own grave site to look like (i.e. replication of my bedroom) I had a Greek and Roman studies lecture on an Etruscan city named Cerveteri or Caere. This site, which is very close to Rome, is one of the most famous Etruscan cities and dates back to 9C B.C.E.. The image above shows the famous Necropolis, a mass grave site, where the people replicated their entire homes! How cool is that!?
hahaha I just realized I mentioned this in my repsonse to your comment. Great minds think alike;)

ReplyDelete:) I think it would be amazing to follow in the foot steps of the Etruscans and have a town specifically built for the disposal of the dead: replicating the houses of the deceased, and even the interior spaces. It certainly assists archaeologists reconstruct past civilizations. I really liked a lot of the Etruscan sarcophagus during this time period, where husband and wife are depicted lying together in a romantic embrace. Really beautiful artwork for anyone who has time to google Caere.
