Recenzje

Sweeping in its diachronic breadth but tightly focused on a particular locale, Moralee's study of the Capitoline hill offers illuminating historical insights on both the micro and the macro level. The narrative weaves together a delightfully varied array of evidence and agents, encompassing saints, sinners, rulers, travelers, artists, archaeologists, historians, and treasure-seekers, and exposing how each constructed his own Capitoline. A brilliant demonstration of the value of the 'lieu de mémoire' approach, tracing shifts in meaning and memory over time."
