" (They collect my white bones, clad in black garments. ) Roman Funerals 139 the forum, where the next of kin pronounced a panegyric of the deceased ; from thence the proces- sion moved on to the place of burial, where the body was to be either interred (situs est) or cremated. Near the grave, or in the neighbourhood of the funeral pyre, domestic animals beloved by the de- ceased were sometimes immolated, and objects on which he had set a value, such as weapons, etc. , were either placed by his... side or burnt with him. 1 When the body was cremated, the bones were col- lected (ossilegium) and placed in an urn (pssa com- ponere), which was then crowned with flowers.
Great families, desirous of doing honour to the memory of one of their members, either distributed sums of money or gave a public banquet, or, more often than not, celebrated the occasion by means of games. Both at Rome and throughout Italy these latter were originally held in the forum, and consisted, as a rule, of wild-beast rights (yenationes) or gladiatorial combats.
