Ancient Rome was - like modern Rome is today - a city filled with monuments and buildings of every kind, and - as today - with each of those different structures were associated all manner of experiences, memories, stories and explanations. Over time those buildings and monuments naturally and inexorably changed, and sometimes radically so. Some were destroyed, while others were preserved; some were left to collapse, while others were restored. And, just as even the most imposing of structures could dramatically transform, so too could the memories and stories associated with them.
This collection of papers seeks to explore the dynamic relationship between the spaces, places, and monuments of ancient Rome, the stories the Romans told about them, and the uses they made of them. It aims to uncover past meanings, trace changes in memories and mentalities, and shed light on the life of the buildings and monuments of the city in the longue durée.
