The memory of ancient Rome was preserved in prose, poetry, persons (saints) and pieces of buildings (spolia) that were dispersed throughout medieval Europe. In Rome itself such vehicles of memory were accompanied and complicated by the ruinscape in and from which Romans made their own contemporary life.
This lecture by visiting professor Dale Kinney examines some of the evidence for how Rome was remembered at the beginning of the second millennium of the Common Era (11th-12th centuries).
