Death In Medieval Rome

     Now last but not least lets talk about death in medieval rome. You see death was very often for medieval rome because like I said before they weren't very clean or healthy.Since there were soo many dieseases and with frequent wars lives were lost daily by the thousands. When ever a person was dying they would pour ons of heated holy oil on the person. Death soon became a theme but ill tell you more about that in a minute. Thats some of the little basics of death.
     Death was like a theme like I said before it its own holiday and everything. The theme of death was showed in a weird dance where the men would dress like a skeleton. They would dance in representations of all the different levels of society mainly to show that death could easly happen to everyone no matter how old, young, rich or poor. All of the death dances were shown in churchs and carvings of death. Therefore they made a tradition of the death of people.... scary.!
