The maximum life span often equated with the low life expectancy at birth. The latter equated itself with longevity, although it does not depend solely on biological capacities, but also environmental factors and mortality regimes. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the problems of denying older people in archeology, through a brief insight into the quantifiers of human longevity, and the way in which the classic methods for determining the age of skeletons of adult individuals underestimate the experience of a deep age.

Common life and common concerns in the case of a ruler involve taking care of the individual's life. In a pair, it would probably be easier to take care of so many lives, but one can not know how much will change and what will be done by themselves and everything they do, especially when it comes to ruling couples like Justinian and Theodora, or in the modern age: Juan and Evita Perón (Evans 1996, 2), Slobodan Milošević and Mira Marković. For example, if one takes into account the possibility that the works of Prokopios have not survived, or have not been written, the emperor would certainly be remembered as one of history's great rulers and Theodora would be pushed to history's margin. With other words, in the absence of Prokopios' dissident voice, scholars have placed their trust in the favorable testimonies of the chroniclers who echoed the official version of events (Kaldellis 2010: viii).

By reading the layeres of the usage of this object, it is illustrated how something that is worthy of heritage appears from different situations in everyday life. By the change of the object’s identity analysis in heritage studies key, it is refered to heritage as a choice: did we make a good choice, do we keep what is necessary and are we hiding something by selection of only those meanings of the heritage object, which are socially (and personally) acceptable. Through the concept of the object’s biography, the relation between people and objects in time and space are viewed. All of the roles that are in the heritage object’s biography, determine it as a live object that is not locked up or put in a showcase, and the showcase is just one of the possible contexts. It is pointed out that there is a reason why we keep a certain object; firstly, in its material and formal characteristics, then in the content meaning that has settled over time, and finally, in its active role in everyday life, when the one who gives their meaning to the heritage in the biography of heritage object and thus intensifies its duration in the future.
