Quelle idée les Romains ont-ils eue de se donner comme fondateur un fratricide ? Ils étaient incapables de rendre compte du crime horrible, contraire aux lois les plus fondamentales du comportement humain, de celui qu'ils avaient pourtant promu au rang des dieux sous le nom de Quirinus. Si Romulus était difficile à comprendre pour les Romains eux-mêmes, il semble possible de l'éclairer en faisant appel à des héros connus ailleurs et qui présentent des traits analogues, en cherchant la réponse du côté de la mythologie comparée. L'auteur met à contribution le monde indoeuropéen, avec notamment le personnage que les Iraniens considéraient comme leur premier roi, ce Yima dont le nom signifie jumeau, ou des souverains, tout aussi légendaires, que les Scandinaves ou les Arméniens situaient au début de leur histoire ; mais d'autres aires culturelles se révèlent également riches d'enseignements, comme le monde biblique avec Jacob qui supplante son jumeau Esaü. Relue à la lumière de ces parallèles, la vie de Romulus apparaît comme l'application à la naissance de Rome d'une antique représentation de la mise en place de l'humanité telle que nous la connaissons, dans un cadre civilisé qui s'est bâti sur le rejet du chaos antérieur.

"Everyone can name a couple made up of famous, rich or powerful partners, who cultivate a joint media image which is stronger than either of their individual identities. Since the eighties they have been known as "power couples". Yet while the term is recent, the concept is not. More than 2000 years ago, Greeks and Romans became aware of the media potential of couples and used it as an instrument to reinforce political power. Notable examples are Philip II of Macedonia and Olympias, Cleopatra and Mark Antony, or the Emperor Augustus and his wife Livia. Power Couples in Antiquity brings together the reflections of ten specialists on Greek and Roman power couples from the 4th century BC to the 1st century AD. It is focused on the birth and the development of the "ruling couple" in the Hellenistic Greek kingdoms and in Rome between the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire. By taking some emblematic cases, this book analyses the redistribution of public and private roles within these couples, examines the sentimental bonds or the relations of domination established between partners, explores how these relationships played out in private, and highlights the many common points between ancient and contemporary power couples. This book offers a fascinating insight into power dynamics in the ancient world, exploring not only the subtleties within these often complex relationships, but also their relationships with their subjects through the cultivation and manipulation of their joint public image"--
