Abstract
How should scholars think about studying ancient shops? Were all shops the same? Was there really much “shopping” in classical antiquity? Shopping is so deeply embedded in the popular imagination as a modern preoccupation that it is not easy to reframe shops in an ancient setting without seeming either to be frankly anachronistic at one extreme or totally lacking in imagination at the other. Monteix is well aware of the historiographical problem facing any scholar who wants to make a serious and systematic study of Roman shops.
