Summary

Chapter 3 investigates souvenirs representing cities and architectural monuments: Alexandria’s port and lighthouse, Hadrian’s Wall, and the resort towns of Puteoli and Baiae in Campania. The chapter examines the agents behind the manufacture and consumption of these souvenirs and the various uses to which these souvenirs were put by their owners, and argues that the souvenirs constructed conceptions of monumental spaces that were at once descriptive, pedagogical, and panegyric.
