This volume wades into the fertile waters of Augustan Rome and the
interrelationship of its literature, monuments, and urban
landscape. It focused on a pair of questions: how can we
productively probe the myriad points of contact between textual and
material evidence to write viable cultural histories of the ancient
Greek and Roman worlds, and what are the limits of these kinds of
analysis? The studies gathered here range from monumental absences
to monumental texts, from canonical Roman authors such as Cicero,
Livy, and Ovid to iconic Roman monuments such as the Rostra,
Pantheon, and Solar Meridian of Augustus. Each chapter examines
what the texts in, on, and about the city tell us about how the
ancients thought about, interacted with, and responded to their
urban-monumental landscape. The result is a volume whose
methodological and heuristic techniques will be compelling and
useful for all scholars of the ancient Mediterranean world.
