Summary
Chapter 2 examines miniature replicas of the famous cult statues of Artemis of Ephesus, Athena Parthenos, Aphrodite of Knidos, and Tyche of Antioch. These souvenirs of cult statues commemorated cities as much as they represented goddesses, and they helped simultaneously localize and universalize divinities and places in the Roman Empire.
