Summary :
There are those who die slowly of a gentle death, or expected. And there are those who go on a brutal war, crime, natural disaster, suicide, epidemics, accidents, enforcement, etc.. Through the Examination of skeletons from archaeological excavations around the Mediterranean, it is now possible to reconstruct case after case, an array of violent deaths in the Greco-Roman antiquity. Stories, anecdotes, historical comments can specify the complete specification.
The author will also aim to study the fate of the corpse of these individuals left before the hour or suddenly, centered on fear of the return of the dead (necrophobia): shelving, dismemberment, black magic, mutilation, etc..
Through this journey into the violent deaths, it's a stroll in the shallows of what ancient society invited the reader in search of an amazing and little-known dark side.
