In this video we take a closer look at the ancient Roman funeral procession. A variety of primary and a few secondary sources were used to inform this content.
*N.B. Both pompa funebris and pompa funeris are attested in Classical Latin. This video uses pompa funeris, one of the forms found in ancient sources.
**N.B. Because no ancient musical notation or complete neniae survive, the funeral music and lament heard in this video are necessarily conjectural. They are included solely to suggest the likely character and function of Roman funeral music and should not be interpreted as an authentic reconstruction.
