Der Sammelband trägt zur althistorischen Diskussion über Charakter und Form politischen Handelns in der römischen Kaiserzeit bei. Er konzentriert sich auf den Osten des Imperium Romanum während der gesamten Kaiserzeit einschließlich der Spätantike. An konkreten Beispielen gehen die einzelnen Beiträge der Frage nach, welche Handlungsspielräume die Kaiser - aber auch auch andere Instanzen wie Statthalter und Städte - hatten, und ob sich in ihrem Handeln ein politischer Gestaltungswille erkennen lässt, der über das bloße Reagieren auf die Anstöße von Untertanen und Untergebenen hinausging. This collected volume contributes to the discussion among ancient historians of the character and form of political action in Imperial Rome. It concentrates on the East of the Imperium Romanum for the whole duration of the Imperial Era, including Late Antiquity. Using concrete examples, the individual papers explore the question of how much latitude and freedom of action was exercised by the emperors - and by other authorities, such as governors and cities - and whether their actions display a political strategy which went beyond merely reacting to impulses from their subjects and subordinates.

La cour de Ménélik II (r. 1889-1913) est un véritable laboratoire iconographique. Le roi des rois est le premier à recourir de façon méthodique à la photographie, importée sur les hauts plateaux de l’Éthiopie par des missionnaires, des commerçants et d’autres voyageurs. Nombre de portraits parvenus jusqu’à nous en témoignent : les dignitaires éthiopiens posent avec des insignes royaux ou des armes, autant d’attributs laissant à penser que ces images ont été élaborées avec soin. À quels enjeux répondait leur fabrication ? Comment s’interroger sur leurs significations et leurs usages ? Quel éclairage apportent-elles à l’histoire de l’Éthiopie et de ses relations avec le monde extérieur ? L’auteur retrace les modalités d’appropriation de la photographie à l’aide de sources écrites éthiopiennes et européennes. Les clichés sont mis en perspective avec d’autres images, comme des peintures d’église, des timbres-poste ou des pièces de monnaie. L’ensemble témoigne des recherches menées à la cour sur la forme, les supports et les usages des images à des fins politiques, au gré des innovations techniques. Ces documents comptent parmi les réponses apportées par la royauté aux bouleversements engendrés par le triomphe de la colonisation européenne sur le continent africain. À l’heure où l’Europe exporte ses médias et ses imaginaires dans le reste du monde, ils révèlent la souveraineté politique du pays et une idéologie royale relayée tant par l’écrit que par l’iconographie. Souverain modernisateur, Ménélik II revendique aussi une ascendance salomonide trois fois millénaire. Féru de nouvelles techniques, il met l’image au service du mythe.

In this book, Lauren Ristvet rethinks the narratives of state formation by investigating the interconnections between ritual, performance, and politics in the ancient Near East. She draws on a wide range of archaeological, iconographic, and cuneiform sources to show how ritual performance was not set apart from the real practice of politics; it was politics. Rituals provided an opportunity for elites and ordinary people to negotiate political authority. Descriptions of rituals from three periods explore the networks of signification that informed different societies. From circa 2600 to 2200 BC, pilgrimage made kingdoms out of previously isolated villages. Similarly, from circa 1900 to 1700 BC, commemorative ceremonies legitimated new political dynasties by connecting them to a shared past. Finally, in the Hellenistic period, the traditional Babylonian Akitu festival was an occasion for Greek-speaking kings to show that they were Babylonian and for Babylonian priests to gain significant power.
