In this book, Maggie Popkin offers an in-depth investigation of
souvenirs, a type of ancient Roman object that has been
understudied and that is unfamiliar to many people. Souvenirs
commemorated places, people, and spectacles in the Roman Empire.
Straddling the spheres of religion, spectacle, leisure, and
politics, they serve as a unique resource for exploring the
experiences, interests, imaginations, and aspirations of a broad
range of people - beyond elite, metropolitan men - who lived in the
Roman world. Popkin shows how souvenirs generated and shaped memory
and knowledge, as well as constructed imagined cultural affinities
across the empire's heterogeneous population. At the same time,
souvenirs strengthened local identities, but excluded certain
groups from the social participation that souvenirs made available
to so many others. Featuring a full illustration program of 137
color and black and white images, Popkin's book demonstrates the
critical role that souvenirs played in shaping how Romans perceived
and conceptualized their world, and their relationships to the
empire that shaped it.
