� Post Mortem� � - Exhibition

Funerary rites in Lugdunum from the 1st century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D.

Until September 26th 2010

At the Lyon-Fourvi�re Gallo-Roman Museum

Take a trip through time and discover the funerary rites of our Roman ancestors�

Every stage from death to burial is evoked using reconstitutions�

Ceremonies, vigils, processions, the evolution from incineration rites to burial, funeral banquets, rites, objects, symbols, epitaphs� all provide better understanding of the way in which life came to an end in those times, when death did not have today�s tragic character.

Epitaphs provide information on the origins of the deceased: their family, background, daily-life, craftsmanship, trade, etc. and add perspective to the texts.

Lugdunum�s necropolises offer a great deal of information and provide everything required for an extremely rich collection, enhanced even more by means of reconstitutions which make the exhibition extremely accessible to all.

This exhibition has been recognised by the Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Office of the Museums of France as being of national interest.
