Episode XXII - Tomb of the Scipios
Every good Roman had heard of the Scipios, and true to their reputation they liked to do things differently. While most Romans were content with cremating their dead, the Scipios entombed theirs, harking back to the days of the Etruscans. Guest: Dr Gillian Shepherd (Director, Trendall Centre, La Trobe University)
