Abstract: | "This book began with a question. As I was traveling through the Bay of Naples, gathering evidence for my dissertation on the tombs of Roman Campania, an idle thought lodged itself in my mind and refused to leave. "If the Romans feared pollution that radiated from the dead," I wondered, "why do so many buildings for the living turn up in necropoleis?" At the time, I believed that gaining a better understanding of the ancient sources concerning death pollution would clarify whatever point I was missing; little did I imagine that sitting down to read through them would overturn countless ideas I had taken for granted, drawing me down a new path of research. You now hold the initial results of that work in your hands, my first answer to that persistent thought. Pursuing the question to this stage has been by turns surprising, challenging, frustrating, enlightening, exhausting, and one of the greatest joys of my life. Along the way, I have gathered many debts, only a portion of which I can acknowledge here, but which I hope to keep repaying as this project transitions to the next"-- |
