Abstract
One of the popular themes of Roman law literature is undoubtedly the legal regime of tombstones and generally burial sites. Evidence is given from different sources, how to treat such places, how they were protected, and which particular rights ensured their use.
While much has been written about the consequences of burial of human remains at a certain place, noticeably less attention is paid to the dead body itself and its legal regime. Correction of this deficit is one of the objectives of the submitted text.
