"Roman Sepulchral Inscriptions" by John Kenrick is a scholarly examination of ancient inscriptions related to burial practices, primarily focusing on their significance in archaeology, language, and religion, written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to illuminate how these inscriptions reflect the cultural and social practices of the Romans and serves as an important resource for understanding both the historical context and the evolution of the Latin language. At the start of this treatise, the author introduces the significance of sepulchral monuments, highlighting their role in providing insight into the civilizations that produced them. Kenrick discusses the scarcity of personal information conveyed through these inscriptions, noting that while some preserved sentiments of grief or celebration, many simply recorded essential details about the deceased, such as age and status. He contrasts the formal and often limited nature of Roman inscriptions with their Greek antecedents, establishing a foundation for further exploration into various aspects of Roman burial customs and societal values as the text unfolds.
