Summary
Chapter 8 argues that souvenirs force us to rethink paradigms of center and periphery in our approaches to the Roman Empire, and to reconsider how people confronted and made meaning of empire in antiquity. As prime examples of ancient material popular culture, Roman souvenirs actively constructed and shaped their beholders’ conceptions of those subjects and of their relations to the empire and other people in it.
