A sociedade romana comungava práticas de sepultamentos que se destinavam ao respeito aos mortos e à perpetuação de seus nomes na paisagem sagrada das necrópoles. Construídas nas vias de acesso das cidades, podemos percorrer, ainda, hoje, inúmeros sítios arqueológicos que presenteiam os visitantes com estruturas monumentais de sepulturas, as quais relacionam-se aos diferentes interesses e práticas sociais. Com isso em mente, este artigo tem como objetivo compreender as práticas mortuárias e suas relações com a memória a partir da paisagem funerária e das relações familiares no lógos filosófico de Lúcio Aneu Sêneca. Em diálogo com os vestígios materiais, pretende-se investigar o impacto da morte na corte neroniana à época de 62 d.C. A partir daí, serão traçadas reflexões acerca dos comportamentos aristocráticos em relação à família e ao luto e, dessa forma, ao analisar a prática da uirtus, compreender-se-á a criação de normas de condutas para a expressão pública da dor e a inserção de dimensões mais particulares e emocionais no modo como se lembravam dos mortos sob a perspectiva de Sêneca.

“… 11 It is generally assumed that Fadia was freeborn, but she may have been a freedwoman: see, for instance, Dessau, ILS 8388; cf. Rawson (1966). Still, if she was in fact a freedwoman Cicero would surely have said so – or even worse – in view of his proclivity for assimilating freed persons to slaves; see Tatum (1999) 118.…”

Cherchez la femme?Fadia in Plutarch'sLife of Antony

In his Philippics Cicero more than once refers to Fadia, whom he depicts as Antony's wife, and to the children she bore him. He also discusses Fadia in his correspondence with Atticus. Plutarch was aware of the Philippics and much of Cicero's correspondence, and therefore of Fadia, and yet, in his Life of Antony, he says nothing about her. This paper examines three possible explanations for the biographer's silence: (i) an informed sensibility regarding the historical value of invective; (ii) the narrative design of this Life and its contribution to Plutarch's characterisation of Antony; (iii) Plutarch's (disturbing by contemporary standards) disapproval of an aristocrat's siring children on women of the lower orders – even by way of legitimate marriage or concubinage. It is, it appears, the ensemble of these factors which excludes Fadia from Plutarch's biography, and the pertinence of each adds to our appreciation of Plutarch's biographical principles.

‘Illegitimacy has been called a social problem for the last two centuries and a moral problem from time immemorial’ (Laslett 1980: 1). Many studies of ancient Roman society have dwelt on morals, and many texts of Roman law give much detail on family law and the law of persons. By contrast with studies of modern law and society, however, there has been little focus on the ‘idea’ of illegitimacy in ancient Rome and no extended discussion of what was involved in being an illegitimate child in that society.
