  • Summary

  • How often do you think about the Roman Empire? As Halloween approaches, and as ghosts, skeletons, and flesh-eaters start to appear, we’ll look at death in the Roman Empire – from burial rituals to the secrets that cemeteries and headstones hold. What can they tell us about the people of the distant past? Friends, Romans, Countrymen, and podcast listeners, lend me your ears as we take a walk through the graveyard. Who says, “Dead men tell no tales?” 

    Host: Andrew J. Falk

    Guest: Jared Kreiner
