Default HBO's Rome: ancient funeral rituals?

Anyone watch Rome, or have any info to share about ancient Roman
funereal rites? While the multiple-stab-wounded Caesar was laid out to
received mourners at his home, his wife welcomed in a woman who dropped
her top, squeezed a bit of breastmilk into the dead Caesar's mouth,
then left after a brief thank you form the widow. Anyone??? The HBO site
doesn't have anything in particular, and I came up empty with Google.

There are a couple of possibilities in that answer that look
reasonable.
