Abstract
El uso que se le da al árbol de ciprés, como elemento necesario para el desarrollo de los funerales, es esencial en la Antigua Roma. Así las cosas, no importa si es para eliminar el mal olor del muerto, para señalar que hay un difunto en la casa, para rodear las piras, como árbol abundante en el inframundo o como leña de hoguera, lo cierto es que siempre que los escritores latinos mencionados se refieren a dicho árbol, lo hacen desde un contexto luctuoso y funerario.
The use given to the cypress tree, as element necessary for the development of the funeral, is essential in Ancient Rome. So, no matter if it is to remove the bad smell of the deceased, to indicate that there is a deceased in the house, to place around the pyres, as abundant tree in the underworld or wood for a campfire, the truth is that always the Latin writers mentioned refer to that tree, they do so from a mournful and funerary context.
