This is a book about the Roman Empire's places, how they were represented on circulating objects, and how they helped viewers imagine distant destinations. The book will interest readers fascinated by Roman sports, forts, resorts, ports, and travel. It explores the craftsmanship of lustrous silver, translucent glass, and colorfully enameled vessels now on display in museums around the world. Scholars working on souvenirs, material texts, and globalization will bedrawn to the new framework established for the analysis of artifacts depicting landmarks. The book complements recent work on mapping and travel by recovering the nuanced senses of place that Romans had in mind.
