In this last space of the exhibition three great topics are dealt with – the roads which connected Bracara Augusta to the other cities of the roman Empire, the distribution of the necropolises in the city and the testimonies of the relationship between its inhabitants and their various divinities.
In Roman times, the space given for the dead was outside the town or the world of the living. The graveyards were normally near the roads outside the towns.
Some of the objects found in tombs are associated to funerary epigraphies. The analyses of these materials are very interesting for the understanding of the social organization of the town.
Of the relationship between men and the divinities there are epigraphic vestiges of great meaning and elaborated aesthetical expression.
Finally, you can also find here remnants associated with the paleochristian period, namely the sarcophagus of S.Martinho de Dume (replica).
