This study is a unique exploration of the relationship between the ancient Romans'
visual and literary cultures and their imagination. Drawing on a vast range of ancient
sources, poetry and prose, texts, and material culture from all levels of Roman society,
it analyses how the Romans used, conceptualized, viewed, and moved around their city.
Jenkyns pays particular attention to the other inhabitants of Rome, the gods, and
investigates how the Romans experienced and encountered them, with a particular emphasis
on the personal and subjective aspects of religious life. Through studying interior
spaces, both secular (basilicas, colonnades, and forums) and sacred spaces (the temples
where the Romans looked upon their gods) and their representation in poetry, the volume
also follows the development of an architecture of the interior in the great Roman
public works of the first and second centuries AD
