Act V.3. 60-64
It's very interesting that Titus found an importance in feeding Tamora her son's bodies as his act of revenge. Her sons were created and started off in her womb and ended by her body chewing and digesting her son's remains. Perhaps this has a few significant meanings. Tamora lead to their corruption by being a bad mother, a bad influence, and bringing Aaron into their lives. She's seen as lustful and sinful; a barbarous "Goth". She was not a traditional woman and her power was looked down upon. Perhaps, this is their way of "putting her in her place". She deteriorated and "ate" away at her son's futures by being a sinful mother and Titus made the action literal when he feed her Demetrius and Chiron. In the end, she was left to be fed on because of her beastly ways. Her body will be left for the birds and animals to eat upon. Lucius may have been trying to make a point that he will finally put an end and deteriorate the corruption for a better Rome.
