Berge Bakke Hagesæter will present his MA project, which examines what tomb structures, grave goods and inscriptions from the Necropoli di Nocera in Pompeii can reveal about the correlation between the population’s social classes. 

He will also discuss their attitudes toward death and the afterlife, and how is these are reflected in the excavation material dated from 27 BC until 79 AD.
