What and how do people remember? Who controls the process of what
we call cultural or social memory? What is forgotten and why?
People's memories are not the same as history written in
retrospect; they are malleable and an ongoing process of
construction and reconstruction. Ancient Rome provided much of the
cultural framework for early Christianity, and in both the role of
memory was pervasive. Memory in Ancient Rome and Early Christianity
presents perspectives from an international and interdisciplinary
range of contributors on the literature, history, archaeology, and
religion of a major world civilization, based on an informed
engagement with important concepts and issues in memory studies.
Moving beyond terms such as 'collective', 'social', and 'cultural
memory' as standard tropes, the volume offers a selective
exploration of the wealth of topics which comprise memory studies,
and also features a contribution from a leading neuroscientist on
the actual workings of the human memory. It is an importamt
resource for anyone interested in Roman antiquity, the beginnings
of Christianity, and the role of memory in history.
