Summary
Chapter 2 asks who was interested in and knowledgeable about the physical traces of the past in Roman Anatolia. The chapter is focused on the various people in the region who interacted daily with ruins and other such indices of antiquity. It sheds light on the very wide social range of ancient interpreters, on the dynamics of interaction among them, and on the different strategies of interaction with realia that those various people had.
