Topographic Memory
View through CrossRef
Among the various forms of social memory discussed by Chris Wickham and James Fentress in Social Memory, topographic memory was given rather short shrift: by this I mean the memory formed by and attached to places. To illustrate this theme I chose three sites with a Roman past: Cosa (Ansedonia), the monastery of S. Sebastiano at Alatri, and finally Volubilis in Morocco. These illustrate three different ways in which local memory of Roman sites was transmitted into the Middle Ages, and the reciprocal effects of this memory on the sites themselves, and on those who lived there.

Among the various forms of social memory discussed by Chris Wickham and James Fentress in Social Memory, topographic memory was given rather short shrift: by this I mean the memory formed by and attached to places.
To illustrate this theme I chose three sites with a Roman past: Cosa (Ansedonia), the monastery of S.
Sebastiano at Alatri, and finally Volubilis in Morocco.
These illustrate three different ways in which local memory of Roman sites was transmitted into the Middle Ages, and the reciprocal effects of this memory on the sites themselves, and on those who lived there.
