While fragments from the second century AD abound, Pausanias' Periegesis ('description') of Greece is the only fully preserved text of travel writing to have survived. This collection uses Pausanias as a multifaceted lens yielding indispensable information about the cultural world of Roman Greece.
Pausanias: Travel and Memory in Roman Greece is a collection of specially commissioned essays addressing the most important travel book to survive from antiquity. Pausanias' Guide to Greece has for centuries been the key source for archaeologists and art historians researching the monuments and landscape of ancient Greece, as well as one of the major documents of ancient Greek history and mythology. These essays, many by the leading experts in the field, unpack the dynamics that informed Pausanias' writing, and demonstrate his importance for formulating modern attitudes to the topography, landscape, and ruins of Greece.
