Titulature et pouvoir de l’empereur Trajan dans les provinces de l’Occident romain d’après l’épigraphie et la statuaire
2018
Through the analysis of the epigraphic and statuary evidence that relates to emperor Trajan in the cities of the western provinces, my objective is to determine the various forms of expression of allegiance and loyalty of the provincials towards him . The presence of Trajan through these two forms of expression usually privileged for imperial propaganda is very significant. It is due to several factors: Trajan is originally from Italica, in Betic, He is the first provincial to take power in Rome; then he is called Best of Princes; and he was a great soldier and a good administrator during a long reign of 19 years and a half. He was therefore honored by many epigraphic documents erected on t…
Downfall of the domestic gods. A Discovery of Statues in a 3rd-century House in Entrains-sur-Nohain (Burgundy, France)
2021
Several stone statuettes of domestic gods have been discovered in houses in the Roman city of Intaranum, now Entrains (Nièvre), located in the north of the Aeduii territory. During an excavation carried out by INRAP in 2014-2015 in the northern part of the city, nine new statuettes were unearthed, some intact or barely damaged. The statuettes are of feminine or masculine deities, who sit and hold their knees, symbolising material welfare. Some statuettes come from in previously identified workshops. The data from both earlier and more recent excavations converge to date most of the statuettes to the 2nd half of the 2nd century CE. Abandoned during Late Antiquity, some of these artefacts wer…
Un groupe statuaire complexe à Autun : essai d’identification
2012
Au cours d’un diagnostic réalisé au nord-ouest de la ville d’Autun, à proximité du rempart d’origine augustéenne, un fragment de groupe statuaire a été trouvé au croisement de deux rues antiques. Reposant sur le sol de circulation, il semble avoir été abandonné au cours de l’Antiquité tardive ou du haut Moyen Age. Il se compose d’un personnage cuirassé (cuirasse musclée) vraisemblablement représenté de dos. Il s’agirait d’une gigantomachie, en ronde-bosse (sculpté sur trois cotés), la face principale a été délitée par la cassure de l’arkose taillée en délit (les bancs géologiques locaux sont impuissants à fournir la hauteur nécessaire à ce groupe). Sur ce drapé, on voit se lover dans une at…
