Abstract

In recent decades, scholars have argued that the Roman Republic's political culture was essentially democratic in nature, stressing the central role of the 'sovereign' people and their assemblies. Karl-J. Hölkeskamp challenges this view in Reconstructing the Roman Republic, warning that this scholarly trend threatens to become the new orthodoxy, and defending the position that the republic was in fact a uniquely Roman, dominantly oligarchic and aristocratic political form. Hölkeskamp offers a comprehensive, in-depth survey of the modern debate surrounding the Roman Republic. He looks at the ongoing controversy first triggered in the 1980s when the 'oligarchic orthodoxy' was called into question by the idea that the republic's political culture was a form of Greek-style democracy, and he considers the important theoretical and methodological advances of the 1960s and 1970s that prepared the ground for this debate. Hölkeskamp renews and refines the 'elitist' view, showing how the republic was a unique kind of premodern city-state political culture shaped by a specific variant of a political class. He covers a host of fascinating topics, including the Roman value system; the senatorial aristocracy; competition in war and politics within this aristocracy; and the symbolic language of public rituals and ceremonies, monuments, architecture, and urban topography. Certain to inspire continued debate, Reconstructing the Roman Republic offers fresh approaches to the study of the republic while attesting to the field's enduring vitality.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Abstract

This new study argues that the religious attitude of the Roman army was a crucial factor in the Christianization of the Roman world. Specifically, by the end of the third century, there was a significant Christian presence within the army which was ready to act in the interests of the faith. Conditions at this time were thus ripe for the coming to power of a Christian emperor: when Constantine converted to Christianity he could rely upon the enthusiastic support of his Christian soldiers. Constantine strengthened his Christian base by initiating policies which accelerated the Christianization of the army. The continuation of these policies by Christian Roman emperors eventually allowed them to use the military as a vehicle for the suppression of paganism and ‘heretical’ Christian sects.

Abstract

Que disent les textes latins de l'époque classique sur l'acte de se souvenir et celui d'oublier ? Quelles métaphores sont utilisées pour décrire le fonctionnement et les effets de la mémoire et de l'oubli ? Ce livre part de ces interrogations pour comprendre les représentations de la mémoire et de l'oubli, ainsi que les pratiques qui les mettent en jeu dans la culture romaine de la fin de la République et du Haut-Empire. Essentielle dans la formation et la vie du citoyen, la mémoire permet avant tout à celui-ci d'imiter des conduites exemplaires, à la guerre, dans la vie politique et au sein des rapports sociaux. La mémoire est aussi la caractéristique identitaire d'une série de figures du pouvoir (magistrats et princes), du savoir (jurisconsultes) et de l'éloquence (orateurs), qui sont autant d'hommes-mémoire. On découvre ainsi que la mémoire n'est pas toujours là où on l'attend : elle est liée à l'action et au présent plus qu'au passé, à l'espace et aux lieux - en particulier dans les arts de la mémoire - plus qu'au temps, et au corps, autant qu'aux qualités intellectuelles et morales.
