Abstract

En se fondant sur un corpus varié de plus de quatre-vingts inscriptions (dédicaces aux, dieux, évergétisme, épitaphes...) découvertes dans les provinces occidentales de l'empire romain (péninsule Ibérique, Bretagne, Gaules, Germanies), l'auteur, avec la collaboration de Patrice Faure pour les médecins de statut militaire, a réalisé une étude fouillée des professionnels de santé (médecins, sages-femmes, infirmiers et « pharmaciens ») de l'Occident romain. La première partie est consacrée à l'analyse du statut juridique, de l'origine géographique et sociale, de la dénomination, des croyances, de la participation à la vie publique et de la vie privée de ces six femmes et de ces soixante-neuf hommes, dont la profession était manifestement rentable. Toutefois, en dépit de leur apparente aisance financière, ces hommes et ces femmes n'ont guère joué de rôle dans la vie publique de leur cité. La seconde partie présente la documentation utilisée. C'est un véritable corpus épigraphique : description du support, texte en capitales et en minuscules, apparat critique, traduction, photographie ou dessin, commentaire aussi complet que possible. Une grande place a été accordée à l'étude de la dénomination pour tenter d'apprécier le degré de latinisation des médecins d'Occident.

Abstract

What did it mean to be Roman once the Roman Empire had collapsed in the West? Staying Roman examines Roman identities in the region of modern Tunisia and Algeria between the fifth-century Vandal conquest and the seventh-century Islamic invasions. Using historical, archaeological and epigraphic evidence, this study argues that the fracturing of the empire's political unity also led to a fracturing of Roman identity along political, cultural and religious lines, as individuals who continued to feel 'Roman' but who were no longer living under imperial rule sought to redefine what it was that connected them to their fellow Romans elsewhere. The resulting definitions of Romanness could overlap, but were not always mutually reinforcing. Significantly, in late antiquity Romanness had a practical value, and could be used in remarkably flexible ways to foster a sense of similarity or difference over space, time and ethnicity, in a wide variety of circumstances.

Abstract

This book advances our understanding of the place of Latin inscriptions in the Roman world. It enables readers, especially those new to the subject, to appreciate both the potential and the limitations of inscriptions as historical source material, by considering the diversity of epigraphic culture in the Roman world and how it has been transmitted to the twenty-first century. The first chapter offers an epigraphic sample drawn from the Bay of Naples, illustrating the dynamic epigraphic culture of that region. The second explores in detail the nature of epigraphic culture in the Roman world, probing the limitations of traditional ways of dividing up inscriptions into different categories, and offering examples of how epigraphic culture developed in different geographical, social and religious contexts. It examines the 'life-cycle' of inscriptions - how they were produced, viewed, reused and destroyed. Finally, the third provides guidance on deciphering inscriptions face-to-face and handling specialist epigraphic publications.

Abstract

Information regarding epigraphy, both early Christian and medieval, in the province of Burgos was scarce and spread around in inaccessible publications. This Corpus contains and analyses all entries between IV and XIII centuries, located in the province of Burgos in various monuments like Quintanilla de las Viñas, San Pedro de Arlanza, Santo Domingo de Silos, The Real Huelgas, Burgos Cathedral, etc. To this end, starting from a review of the bibliography which has been published, a detailed fieldwork was performed resulting in the collection of 326 entries, 45 of which have never been published before, providing new and corrected readings to many of them. Indeed, the description of each item; its edition, both epigraphic and paleographic; its translation; the metric study of the inscriptions; its historical context; the paleographic study of its characters and analysis of the literary texts, All of that gives the ability to specify many dates in history of the creation of the corresponding monuments the inscriptions are part of, and the recognition of numerous analogies among several of these constructions. Therefore, this work stands as a valuable landmark and touchstone for the fields of History, Art and Medieval Studies. [In spanish]

Abstract

Les fontaines monumentales constituaient des marqueurs essentiels du paysage urbain de l’Antiquité. Dans les villes du Maghreb romain et tardo-antique, elles occupaient une place privilégiée que leur accordaient peu d’autres régions de l’empire. Cet ouvrage prend en considération les provinces romaines d’Afrique, entre Atlantique et Tripolitaine, au cours des six premiers siècles de notre ère. Les analyses et les résultats de cette recherche se fondent sur un catalogue d’édifices et un corpus épigraphique inédits. Soulignant les enjeux passés et présents dans l’étude de l’hydraulique antique, l’enquête retrace l’histoire des explorations archéologiques en Afrique du Nord, pour s’intéresser ensuite aux relations entre terminologie et classifications typologiques modernes et dresser un tableau de l’évolution morphologique des fontaines monumentales antiques. L’analyse technique et architecturale des édifices constitue le cœur de cette étude qui prend également en compte la gestion des aménagements hydrauliques et la perception des fontaines dans le tissu urbain. Il s’agit ici de considérer les fontaines monumentales comme des composantes de la ville et du réseau hydraulique. Cette réflexion envisage ainsi l’ensemble de la circulation et des usages de l’eau et ambitionne plus largement de penser la civilisation urbaine, les aménagements de la ville antique et ses transformations sur la longue durée.

Abstract

This volume explores the creation of 'written spaces' through the accretion of monumental inscriptions and non-official graffiti in the Latin-speaking West between c.200 BC and AD 300. The shift to an epigraphic culture demonstrates new mentalities regarding the use of language, the relationship between local elites and the population, and between local elites and the imperial power. The creation of both official and non-official inscriptions is one of the most recognisable facets of the Roman city. The chapters of this book consider why urban populations created these written spaces and how these spaces in turn affected those urban civilisations. They also examine how these inscriptions interacted to create written spaces that could inculcate a sense of 'Roman-ness' into urban populations whilst also acting as a means of differentiating communities from each other. The volume includes new approaches to the study of political entities, social institutions, graffiti and painting, and the differing trajectories of written spaces in the cities of Roman Africa, Italy, Spain and Gaul.

Abstract

Dedicato alla memoria di Mireille Cébeillac-Gervasoni, scomparsa il 29 marzo 2017, il volume raccoglie 22 contributi di amici e colleghi presentati al Quinto seminario Ostiense (Roma – Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica, 21 e 22 marzo 2018). Dopo un’introduzione che mette in risalto il ruolo degli studi su Ostia nell’opera scientifica della studiosa, il volume contiene una prima serie di saggi dedicati alla storia istituzionale, sociale o religiosa della città porto di Roma e che si avvalgono di dati nuovi o rivisti di natura epigrafica o archeologica. Sulla linea del percorso intellettuale e delle ricerche di Mireille Cébeillac-Gervasoni, e talvolta riallacciandosi esplicitamente ai suoi studi, la seconda parte del libro tratta più specificamente il tema delle élites dell’Italia romana, ma allargandosi alla storia del Mediterraneo romano con l’esempio dei riti funebri della colonia di Filippi. Tutti i contributi vogliono offrire un riflesso sfaccettato e nello stesso tempo, anche se non completo, almeno fedele dell’iniziativa dei Seminari Ostiensi da lei sempre sostenuta con particolare impegno, e delle ricerche che ha ispirato nella sua lunga carriera

Abstract

Fondé sur des monuments funéraires épigraphiques ou anépigraphes, cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans l'histoire sociale des trois premiers siècles de l'Empire romain. Le point de départ est un essai de définition de ce que représente l'épitaphe en tant que monument du souvenir, support d'informations entre les vivants et les morts et en conséquence véhicule de la mémoire. Pour y parvenir est étudié un corpus de plus de 700 attestations d'un vocabulaire spécifique de la parenté (ex. alumnus, genitor, nepta, etc.) et du vocabulaire de la famille nucléaire (pater, mater, frater, soror, etc.) selon trois axes : la construction du souvenir, la mémoire affichée, le miroir qu'elle offre pour soi-même et pour les autres. Au corpus d'épitaphes sont ajoutés également 51 arbres généalogiques (stemmata) reconstitués à partir des textes épigraphiques et une cinquantaine de photographies de monuments. Au fil des pages on observe la diversité dans l'expression écrite ou figurée de la parenté en tenant compte des différences locales, des degrés plus ou moins profonds d'accès à la romanité, des permanences culturelles antérieures à la conquête, le dialogue entre texte et image car lire, c'est voir. On comprend aussi les ressemblances ou les différences selon les couches sociales (citoyens, élites municipales, prêtres, affranchis, etc.) et, grâce à de nombreux exemples commentés, on décèle entre les lignes une nuance au conformisme ambiant ou comment l'expression de l'identité acquise n'est jamais figée. Dans les monuments funéraires, dire sa parenté témoigne de la volonté de manifester son identité romaine ou romanisée, non seulement lorsque l'on est déjà citoyen romain, mais aussi quand on a été pérégrin et que l'on est devenu citoyen romain.

Abstract

The bleak steppe and rolling highlands of inner Anatolia were one of the most remote and underdeveloped parts of the Roman empire. Still today, for most historians of the Roman world, ancient Phrygia largely remains terra incognita. Yet thanks to a startling abundance of Greek and Latin inscriptions on stone, the cultural history of the villages and small towns of Roman Phrygia is known to us in vivid and unexpected detail. Few parts of the Mediterranean world offer so rich a body of evidence for rural society in the Roman Imperial and late antique periods, and for the flourishing of ancient Christianity within this landscape. The eleven essays in this book offer new perspectives on the remarkable culture, lifestyles, art and institutions of the Anatolian uplands in antiquity.
