Abstract
This contribution aims at drawing attention to the value of the Carmina Latina Epigraphica (CLE) for the study of antiquity as rich and original texts. Close reading of a selected corpus of such funerary inscriptions originating from the city of Rome provised us with a refreshing outlook on the (in)differences between the Christian and pagan views of the hereafter. It would seem that both Christian and pagan epitaphs illustrate how both religions have undergone, each in their own way, the influence of the belief in astral immortality, which accounts for certain similarities in these texts.
