I think their take on Roman remains was far more practical in those days. They had no clue about archaeology, only antiquity, and collecting remains only took off then. I think we should be glad that so much survived! But what use a ruin? I mean, for us it's different...

Jennifer, part of the answer would be how they viewed their sources. I mean, religion had a lot more influnce on opinion than it does today.
