This chapter discusses the reconstruction of ancient “reading experiences”, where most literary and epigraphic Greek and Latin texts are not in their original condition or context. It focuses on the “vertical stratigraphy” of buildings, sculptures, and texts in Ephesos during the Roman Empire. A recent study of bilingual Greek and Latin inscriptions shows that Ephesos has more bilinguals than all the other cities of Asia. The plaza south of the great Hellenistic Agora is considered the greatest concentration of bilinguals in Ephesos.
