Damnatio memoriae is a Latin term that translates to "condemnation of memory." In ancient Rome, it referred to a formal decree that sought to erase the memory of an individual, typically someone who had fallen from grace or committed serious offenses against the state or society. This could involve removing their name from public inscriptions, destroying their statues or images, and banning any mention of them in documents and discourse.
