Death is one of mankind's most frightening and enigmatic themes, often a source of emotion, anxiety and questioning. This article aims to show how the Romans imagined and conceived death in antiquity. Various sources - textual, iconographic, archaeological, etc. - offer innumerable testimonies that shed light on this people's idea of death. Dying is clearly an individual act, fatal to the human condition. Generally speaking, death is also a community phenomenon, as it is the object of the same solicitude as birth. Antiquity's desire to unravel the mystery of death left it wanting more, but it forged and accommodated its own conception of death as a source of endless hope for life
