  • Dorian Borbonus Columbarium Tombs and Collective Identity in Augustan Rome Cambridge; New York: Cambridge University Press, 2014 Pp. xvi, 294. $99.00. [...]the material evidence can yield a useful depiction of what social life was like for non-elites in Rome in antiquity, and it certainly epitomizes the importance of how funerary practice contributes critical evidence to our understanding of the operation of groups in life. The appendices of archaeological and epigraphic data are useful only to specialists in the field, making this a valuable book for art historians and archaeologists, but it has its limits for an interested reader in the area of antiquity.
