Vita Brevis: Consideraciones Sobre Las Emociones En Los Epitafios De Niños Y Niñas En El Mundo Romano
Resumen
Los estudios académicos sobre la muerte en el mundo romano se han centrado en el impacto que estas produjeron en la familia, cuántas palabras se repiten en los epitafios, así como por el registro numérico de las inscripciones sepulcrales. El sentido del sentimiento por la pérdida no siempre encuentra la misma atención que estos tópicos dentro de los estudios históricos y epigráficos sobre la muerte, por lo cual la frustración, dolor y sentir han quedado como meras expresiones y no se han contextualizado con el propio desarrollo del mundo romano. Los epitafios cumplen el cometido de señalar el lugar y quien ocupa aquella morada, de guardar respeto por el difunto, hacer memoria y ser parte de su tránsito en la eternidad. La muerte de los niños y niñas en el mundo romano puede ser entendida como una muerte injusta (mors immatura), que no debía llegar tan pronto, cosa los propios epígrafes en varias ocasiones tienden a relatar, y aquellos que son conmemorados se presentan con algunas características para la posteridad.
Palabras clave: memoria, emociones, epitafios, mundo romano, niños
