This book explores the consequences of the Roman conquest of Greece. Social and economic developments during the period 200 BC to AD 200 are traced through a combination of archaeological and historical sources, with particular emphasis on the use of archaeological surface survey data, a form of evidence only recently available for the study of the ancient world.

Social memory is a powerful political and emotional force, although recovering the shared memories of past societies is notoriously difficult. Employing three case studies from the history of ancient Greece, this 2002 book explores how the evidence of landscape and monuments can reveal commemorative practices and collective amnesias in such societies.
