"Il nous a dévoilé toute l’Antiquité" : c’est ainsi que le pape Pie II parlait de Biondo Flavio (1392-1463), historien et archéologue avant la lettre. Dans son important ouvrage Roma triumphans (1459), son dernier traité et le fruit de décennies de travail sur Rome et l’histoire romaine, Biondo Flavio fut le premier à tenter de présenter la civilisation romaine dans toute sa complexité. Roma triumphans est un texte clé de l’humanisme italien et constitue la source de "l’antiquarianisme". Malgré des siècles d’influence, son originalité reconnue et le fait qu’il circula très tôt en Europe, peu d’études approfondies de cette oeuvre aux multiples facettes ont été publiées. Dans ce livre, nous présentons un éventail d’explorations ciblées sur la nature, le contenu et les influences de cet ouvrage, le rendant pour la première fois accessible à un large public contemporain et révélant un chapitre fondamental de la perception européenne du rôle exemplaire de Rome et de ses institutions.

Valerius Maximus compiled his handbook of notable deeds and sayings during the reign of Tiberius (14-37 CE). The collection was very popular in the Renaissance and has recently attracted renewed scholarly attention. Valerius arranges his instructive examples in short chapters, each focused on a particular virtue, vice, religious practice, or traditional custom--including Omens, Dreams, Anger, Cruelty, Bravery, Fidelity, Gratitude, Friendship, Parental Love. The moral undercurrent of this collection is readily apparent. But Valerius tells us that the book's purpose is practical: he decided to select worthwhile material from famous writers so that people looking for illustrative examples might be spared the trouble of research. Whatever the author's intention, his book is an interesting source of information on Roman attitudes toward religion and moral values in the first century. - Publisher.
