Taedium Vitae In Roman Sepulchral Inscriptions by Clara Louise Thompson offers a detailed examination of expressions of weariness with life as found in ancient Roman funerary inscriptions. This scholarly work explores the prevalence and nuances of the 'taedium vitae' motif, shedding light on the attitudes towards life, death, and the afterlife in Roman society. Through careful analysis of the Latin texts, Thompson uncovers valuable insights into the personal beliefs and philosophical perspectives of individuals commemorated on these ancient stones. This book provides a rich resource for historians, classicists, and anyone interested in Roman culture and the human condition.
