Full textCompared with scholarly interest in the study of social and religious problems in Roman Africa, the issue of hunger has generally been neglected, probably because of a positive judgement of the local prosperity. However, despite the generally favourable context described by Claude Lepelley in 1981, poverty was present in Late Antique Africa, both as a representation and as a reality, which is what this research seeks to explore, using the works of Augustine of Hippo as a starting point. The theme of hunger, linked to that of poverty, lies at the crossroads of social history and mental representations. The question of poverty in Late Antiquity was analysed in 1974 by Évelyne Patlagean, who emphasised its reality, and then by Peter Brown in 2002, who saw it as a privileged theme in the discourse of the bishops who presented themselves as the patron of the poors. These two aspects of reality and representation need to be undestood. On the one hand, while hunger concerned the poor, it was also a socio-political problem for the ruling elites of the cities, who had to cope with shortages in an ancient world where the forces of law and order were limited. In this context, it was more prudent to prevent hunger, thanks to the possibilities offered by a Mediterranean cereal market, than to solve it; the question of supplying and feeding large cities has already been well studied for the High Empire (Garnsey, Virlouvet) and the Late Empire (Jaïdi). On the other hand, the development of Christian discourse in the fourth century, encouraged by the Christian emperors from Constantine onwards, changed the way poverty and hunger were viewed.We have studied the question of hunger in Africa in the writings of Augustine of Hippofrom various perspectives: the social dimension of a reality affecting the poors, the metaphorical interpretations of the references to hunger in the biblical texts, the religious discourses aimed at an appeal to charity, and the institutions designed to respond to the problem of hunger. The chronological limits of our study are the years 360-430, a period well documented by Ammianus Marcellinus but above all by the writings of Augustine of Hippo, principally the sermonary and correspondence. Thanks to the online textual database Brepolis, we have been able to locate 341 examples of allusions to hunger, thirst and famine in Augustine, which form our corpus, analysed in three parts: hunger as a theological problem (chapters 1-3); hunger as a desired reality (chapters 4-5); hunger as an endured reality (chapters 6-7). In conclusion, we can see that hunger in Augustine's time was a reality that allowed Christians to test their faith, hope and charity

Full textThe importance of travelling practice in Proconsular Africa is underlined by the density of the ancient road network in the province. The study of travel leads us to consider the romanisation from an other angle than the often pushed forward urban structures. Definitions of travel are numerous and reflect the extreme diversity of situations : discovery tour, pleasure trip, business or private travel. Besides, the African context leads to wonder about the seminomadism practice under the Roman Empire. Literary sources first echo official travel, discovery tours at the beginning of the Roman Empire, and a few travels of emperors in the province. Besides, the development of African latin literature from the II century increases the private travel stories, particularly with Apulée and later Augustin. In other respects, the study of the African epigraphic sources gives a special lighting on the identification of living and dead travellers. The official and private practices of travelling don't have the same aims and involve different means. But all those practices of travelling serve convey the romanisation. So, at the end of Antiquity, the bounds of travelling in the Proconsular have become the place of promotion for the Roman politic order, adorned with the attributes of the Christian religion
Selmi, Slah. "Le culte impérial en Afrique Proconsulaire au IIIè siècle." Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA040162.
Full textThe worship of the Roman emperor is ancient in Africa Proconsularis. It dates back to the reign of Auguste. At the beginning of the third century, the Africans were equipped with a rich religious experience. As the dynasty that started to reign in Rome had the African origin, the Africans continued to serve the imperial cult. It is therefore a co-patriot cult. Consequently, the cult witnessed its peak during the Severes reign. The cult focused on the divi and divae. However, the living emperor profited from so many homage in divine characteristics. With the worship celebrated in the honor of Roma Aeterna the originating ones in Proconsularis expressed a capital devotion to the genius and the numen imperatoris with its domus Augusta and divina and especially with its virtues. During the Crisis and under Tetrarch, the imperial worship had been declining. The massive extension of Christianity was the essential factor of its slope. It came to destroy one of the bases of Roman civilization. Indeed, it is too early to speak about the dead of the imperial worship in Africa Proconsularis of this century because at the dawn of the Christian empire, the Africans continued to adore Tetrarchs of their alive. The epigraphy reveals the evidence of their attachment to the Roman sovereign

Full textThis thesis entitled “The woman in the family with Roman Africa: study from the documents of imperial period” is a study based on documents from the imperial period that includes a prologue and two main parts. The prologue is an approach to the history of the Libyan and Carthaginian woman. In the first part, devoted to the Early Roman Empire, the documentation is mainly epigraphic. In studying the inscriptions, we have tried to address the moral qualities of women and to highlight the feminine ideal embodied in pagan epigraphy. We have underlined the subject of conjugal morality and the role of the wife within the family and the pagan society in general. By focusing on specific themes, we sought to monitor changes in attitudes, through the issue morality. From African epigraphy Early Empire, that is a good reflection of a feminine ideal in pagan culture, we can expand the timeline while keeping in mind the same prospects in order to find them in Christian literature. Was there a change or a change in habits, in the way how to consider women? What the new faith has brought to women? What was the change in the place of women in Africa in the Christian era? How the Fathers of the Church have they focused on the woman and what role they assigned her? Were the Fathers of the Church misogynists? What does the woman represent in their designs? Was there certain “immobilize” in the situation of women in Africa, which would not have helped improve its position within the family and society? We tried to answer these questions in the second part of the thesis bay studying the writings of African apologists : Tertullian, Minucius Felix, Cyprian, Arnobius of Sicca, Lactantius, Arnobius the Younger, Fulgence of Ruspe and especially saint Augustine. We have reserved a separate chapter to highlight the role of women in martyrdom, which is the perfect adhesion of these female martyrs to the Christian faith. The terminus ante quem of this study is the fifth century with the Vandal invasion in Africa, which constitutes a real breakthrough in the history of North Africa. ”

Full textIn the first part of the thesis, the author has made a list of the numerous arches dedicated to Caracalla in Roman Africa. Most of these arches are documented by a dedication and can therefore be dated with precision. However some other arches have been added to the initial corpus since they can be dated too, either by their architectural or ornemental characteristics, or thanks to historical arguments. Altogether a corpus of 27 arches has been made out. The analysis of the dedications of the arches is the subject of the second part. It shows "evergetes" (donators), most of them being permanent "flamines" (priests), often veterans ; a few notables also contribute to the endowment of their city. They do so either in their lifetime or by testament. At the same time, nearly half of the arches are erected thanks to the generosity of local councils, in gratitude for a change of juridical status or for special favour from the Emperor. The status of the individuals and the cities concerned gives a state of the "romanisation", to put simply, of Africa between 198 and 217. The study of the dedicatory texts also permits to check some aspects of the titles of the Emperor and of the imperial virtues honoured on the arches. The third part tackles the typology. In the first chapter, the typology of forms highlights the wide range of architectural patterns and chosen decorations. The second chapter deals with the "typology of functions" and analyses the role played by honorific arches in the urbanization of the cities, in full revival at the time. The author concludes on the close correspondence between the monument and the ideologic message it is supposed to pass on : by its decoration, the ornaments of the coronation or the dedication itself, the honorific arch is a perfect testimony, both didactic and aesthetic, of the imperial cult

Full textThis work is based upon more than 300 thresholds coming from more than 50 houses of Africa Proconsularis and Byzacène. This work tries to give some answers about : The place of the thresholds and its particularities in the roman African house. The link between the thresholds and the theme of the passage in roman life. This work confirms the diffusion of mosaic in Africa Proconsularis and Byzacène. It corroborates the theory of the use of mosaics as ornaments submitted by the rules of the domestic architecture. This research underlines the specificities of the threshold of the Africa Proconsularis and Byzacène's houses : Situated on the bay. Distributed relatively to the hierarchical system of the house. Figured on the threshold of the reception's rooms. Figured by mythological, day of life scenes, apotropaic and epigraphic décors. This research reminds the similitudes of the threshold mosaics décors with ones of the passage spaces discovered in Pompéi, Ostia and Piazza Armerina : apotropaics and épigraphics. This work confirms the place and the role of the dominus (owner of the house) in the roman day life, its dues and wrights, and the importance of the receptions rooms, of the banquet and of the system of the salutatio (visit of the clients to the dominus) in the antiquity in Africa Proconsularis and Byzacène

Full textVeterans constituted a privileged social group, deeply attached to the most traditional Roman values which subsisted within the army. In Africa, they were the main beneficiaries of the official colonization from 102 B. C. . Their presence is attested everywhere during the Imperial era by epigraphic sources allowing to make a census of 783 veterans. Their influence on the development of economical and municipal structures was considerable in many areas. The families which they founded despite their old age also favorised the increase of the African Roman population which they usually belonged to from the second century A. C. Onwards

Full textThroughout African epigraphy women's place in symbolic and material communities' constitution is set, both in official and domestic, "private" way. The source catalogue displays chosen Latin pagans and Christians epigraphic documents from Romanized Africa. The analysis deals with epigraphic portrayals of women in a provincial society, their elaboration and function. Women's identity is yet based upon family memory, as far as women personify domestic continuity, solidarity and toughness. They also have a huge impact of romanity's wide spreading, as citizens, as mothers, and mostly as exempla (very model of virtues). Actually, epigraphy is about social rhetoric and social performance, and uses women as discursive patterns. Sociological categories are wellrepresented, showing that women's representation is mainly determined by their sexuality

Full textThe aim of the present work is to study a component of the Roman African society: the one constituted by the aliens originating from the Eastern part of the Roman Empire. The study is framed within the Early Roman Empire, as most of the documentation available dates back to that period. Epigraphy is the primary documentation for this work. Before turning to the study of this subject, it was essential to identify selection keys that helped fix the origin of these non-natives and come up with the body of 260 epigraphic records that constitute the corpus of this work. The main tool taken into consideration is onomastic, notwithstanding the vagueness sometimes inherent in this index. Thereafter, light was shed on the many aspects of the presence of these Orientals. First, the demographic layer: figuring, motives, conditions and structures of departure and the distribution on the African soil. The second layer concerns the social aspect. It aims to explore the various features of the presence of the Oriental community in Roman Africa. First, the nature of the activities they exercised. If the job of arms was their main vocation, they still exercised several other activities. The study of their religious life showed that they remained largely faithful to the worship practices of their home countries. Onomastic and also marriage practices were clues that were used to study the nature of the contacts they had with Africans and evaluate their integration within the host society. The last part of the work was devoted to the study of the cultural phenomenon of Hellenism and the role that these Orientals played in promoting this kind of culture in a predominantly Latin province

We will also study the different mechanisms of maritime activities which make the port cities of the province of Roman Africa, the real economic centers. In other words, we will try to study the port infrastructure and the aspects of the role played by these cities as points of contact between the world of inland and oversea. In this context, we will try to review several theses on the assessment of the ports role in the process of foreign maritime trade. This reflection leads us to examine aspects of the organization of land road network and the organization of maritime routes, which contributed to the flow of various African products. We also consider the nature of the goods which were the cargo, various ships from the ports. The administrative and legislative organization of transport, especially the annona, as maritime trade, its importance, as it provides information on the procedures used by the Roman central authority to organize this trade, finally the importance of port cities of the province of Africa to Rome

Full textThe aim of this study is to characterize the gestures, practices and rituals about the children’s death in the Roman provinces of Africa Proconsularis, Numidia and Mauretania cesarean in the first three centuries AD. The available documentation is divided between numerous publications of cemeteries, more or less well documented depending on the date of excavation, and unpublished literature of the necropolis of Pupput (Hammamet), which provides for the first time a corpus large enough to be statistically credible. Because of their differences, the data are presented in various catalogs but analyzed simultaneously when associated to the same funeral sequence. At first, it was decided to study how corpses were managed from the localization of burial to its closure, then in a second time, the rituals performed in and around the grave. The initial postulate is that different burial practices adopted by families in charge of the funeral of their children depended on a number of factors. Among them, the children's age that determined the status of the deceased has been identified. According to archaeological and anthropological data studied, the ages of 6 months, 3 years and 7 years marked important steps in the socialization of the child in his family and the African society
Génelle, Gérard. "La vie économique et sociale dans l'Afrique romaine tardive d'après les sermons de saint Augustin." Paris 10, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA100008.
Full textFar from theological consideration, a new study of St Augustine permitted us to discover the secular world in Africa from the end of the C 4th to the beginning of the next one. This is the aim of this work which is based in the realia of the daily life studied by the bishop both to develop ethic considerations and to illustrate biblical texts. The historical interest of the sermons is related to the pragmatic dimension and acute observation that characterize Augustine so well. How could it be different if he aimed at being understood by his audience ? Based on the daily examples used in his metaphors, three research fields have been favoured. First, the financial aspect helped us understand how deeply aware were Augustine contemporaries of the realities, compared to historians for whom the reconstitution task revealed itself difficult because of the importance of ellipsis. Then the sermons revealed a quest of the upper social status which implied some mobility in a society often considered as rigid and which tended to be a class divided one. Finally, Augustine often referred to agriculture, the foundation of economical system of that period. This representation far from being complete reveals the atmosphere of a society which felt the symptoms of a crisis but which remained closer to the antique world rather than to the medieval one

The conclusion aim to emphasize the disputes around two axles : the jesus' divinity and the contuinity between the two testaments; it evidence the proceedings of polemic among a man that, maybe, hasn't completly denied his past

Full textThis thesis is the translation of the first three books of the work written by facundus hermianensis. African bishop of the sisth century a. D. : pro defensione trium capiulorum, which defends theodore of mopsuestia, theodoret of cyr and ibas of edessa in the three chapters'affair. This episode takes place before the second council of constantinople which will pronounce condemnetion of the three chapters. The first book of the work justifies three assertions of justinian : - one of the trinity has been crucified, - the blessed virgin is verily and in the true meaning mother of god, -there is two natures in christ. The second book sets out the major argument of facundus : the eutychians want the council of chalcedon to be condemned. The third book defends theodore of mopsuestia and his works. The introduction places the work in its theological context with the opposition between the christology of antioch and that of alexandria, in its historical, political and geographical context, with the study of the religious power of the emperor justinian and the resume of the three chapters'affair. It presents the theological and historical arguments of facundus'work and is made up of an analysis of his style and vocabulary (particularly on the notion of heresy). Finally, after having analysed the pro defensione's sources of inspiration and the biblical and patristic quotations, the last chapters of the introduction show the caracteristics of this woirk of christian rhetoric

Full textThe approach of this dissertation is based not on the Christian community but on social history, and focuses on the issues of “Methodological individualism”, of which individuals form the social dynamics between the beginning of the 4th century and the end of the 6th century. Based on a sample of 198 individuals from Italy and Roman Africa, this thesis highlights the social manifestations of the Christian-Being by studying the Christians’s ways of doing, believing and saying, grouped together in what we have called their Christianess, according to the neologism das Christlichkeit coined by F. Nietzsche. In this dissertation, the author carried out the analysis of primary sources highlighting the faith of the Christians, which helped him to draw up a classification, comprising four different actions and two forms of expression. Primary actions are those deemed to be typically Christian, since this kind of behavior cannot be found in this form in any other religions of the Roman World. Secondary actions are those which already existed in the Roman Society, and are re-Used by Christians. Social actions deal with the networks of the faithful Christians, and lastly militant actions demonstrate the ability of Christians to stand up for their beliefs. The fellow Christians express their faith into two different ways, in writing and with their body. Two main parts compose this dissertation, made up of eight chapters, entitled - in order of appearance - as follows : “The Christians and the World. Living as a Christian in the roman society”and “The Christians, the Clerics and the Church”
Delattre, Aurélie. "L'Afrique dans la poésie latine d'Ennius à Corippe." Thesis, Dijon, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011DIJOL025.
Full textThis thesis is devoted to the study of the representation of Africa in Latin poetry, from Ennius until Corippus. In most cases, allusions to Africa have a mere connotative value and fulfill an amplification purpose. Nonetheless, various characteristics of the stereotypes associated to Africa can be deduced from them. We also describe the methods used by the poets to deal with these stereotypes and we shed light on the characteristics that make Africa different from the other “barbarian” regions of the Roman Empire. The originality of Africa is related to the importance it takes in epic, since Africa is the scene of several poems. The amplification proper to epic, mainly based on these stereotypes, gives Africa a mythic dimension and it plays thus a fundamental role in the structure of epic poems. Consequently, it becomes the metaphor of epic in many other minor genres

Full textThis research is a survey of religious and spatial practices in the ancient Mediterranean, that takes its start from an interdisciplinary analysis of the category of ritual space as an integrated process of bodily, ideological and symbolic traits. The first part discusses the categories that in ancient and modern times have been used to define the ritual space (religious landscape, places of worship, religious architecture) considering the perspectives of history of religions, religious anthropology and archeology. The second part focuses on the categories of space and of ritual in their relationship with the founding principles of polytheistic logic and religious practice. Both the concrete aspect of the monumentalization of the places of worship and the conceptual one of the presence of gods in ritual spaces (particularly in Rome) are investigated. In the third part the Roman Africa is explored, examining some significant case studies in the context of the contact between roman and indigenous cultures. Using epigraphic and archaeological sources, the transformation of the cultural spaces in the Roman period, and the expansion of Roman models in contact with indigenous models, are investigated, focusing on the cases of the Thinissut sanctuary and of the places of worship of the city of Thugga
La ricerca si configura come un’indagine sulle pratiche religiose e spaziali nel Mediterraneo antico, a partire da analisi interdisciplinare sulla categoria di spazio rituale quale processo integrato di tratti corporei, ideologici e simbolici. Nella prima parte si discutono in modo teorico le categorie antiche e moderne atte a definire lo spazio rituale come categoria comprensiva di paesaggio religioso, luoghi di culto, architettura religiosa, nella molteplicità di prospettive aperte dalle discipline, della storia delle religioni, dell’antropologia religiosa e dell’archeologia. La seconda parte si concentra sulle categorie di spazio e di rituale e sulle relazioni tra i principi fondanti della logica e della pratica religiosa politeista e le loro ricadute sulle pratiche spaziali; vengono indagati sia l’aspetto più concreto della monumentalizzazione dei luoghi di culto, sia quello più concettuale della modalità di presenza degli dei negli spazi rituali, in particolar modo a Roma. Nella terza parte si indaga il contesto storico-religioso dell’Africa romana, prendendo in esame alcuni casi di studio significativi nell’ottica del contatto tra culture. Ricorrendo alle fonti epigrafiche e archeologiche si focalizza in particolare la trasformazione degli spazi cultuali nel periodo della ‘romanizzazione’, e l’espansione di modelli romani nel contatto con modelli indigeni, dal santuario di Thinissut ai luoghi di culto della città di Thugga

Full textThis study is about the water management in rural and urban communities of the roman provinces of Africa and Spain. Those regions can be described as dry to semi-arid in summer, when very irregular and unpredictable rain is typical in winter. During the period between first century BC and fifth century AD, those provinces remain under institutional, administrative and judicial authority of Rome. A particular attention will be focused on the local institutions, in cities as well as in the countryside, through Roman law. It will allow describing how those institutions manage to take the water administration in charge, and how they handle it in their relationship with provincial and central roman authorities. Roman law sheds a specific light on local institutions from the city and from rural communities. It allows describing how is water managed at this level and through the relationships between centre and periphery. This study deals with the various rules settling how is responsibility shared amongst those communities’ institutions, their main purpose being protecting from flood or water shortage. In a second time will be analyzed on what is based such a collective management, which can be defined as a consensus. This notion is relevant as it allows our understanding of collaboration, and of overcoming conflicts and crises. All those questions have to be understood as part of a more general understanding about institutional relationships between roman provinces and imperial government, and about local self-government. Key words: Roman law – water management – provincial institutions – centre and periphery – irrigation – Roman Spain – Roman Africa

Full textThe Roman emperors always showed a particular interest for provinces which can allow the conservation of Roman way of life. As for Roman Africa, reports (connections) between the emperors promoted it, at first, only the members of the big families of the towns of Africa which had had a prestigious past, and which could serve relay to the Roman administration. Finally, the edict of Caracalla will come to harmonize the legal statuses (statutes), by granting the civitas romana to all the inhabitants free of the empire. The registrations (inscriptions) state beneficia per indulgentia imperatoris (expresses), giving evidence of their surplace presence in routes, but also ex auctoritate (indirect), by means of their representatives. Thanks to these beneficia, the Roman Africans could reach (affect) the high judiciaries, and so express their fides and their obsequium. But the presence and the action (share) of the emperors suffered from contestings, moderated by colloquia, especially in Numidie and in Maurétanies

Full textThe research is pointed on the ancient african amphorae coming from the excavation of Nuovo Mercato Testaccio, carried out between 2005 and 2009 in Rome. In particular, beside the punique and tripolitanian types as so called Dressel 18, Schoene-Mau 40, Schoene-Mau 35 and Tripolitanian amphora first-second, the research is focused on the type Dressel 26, Ancient Tripolitanian amphora and Ostia 59 and 23, at the moment less known in terms of typology, production and diffusion.The quite strong presence of those amphorae in the excavation of Nuovo Mercato Testaccio has been the “start” for this research. The aims of the research are: define the typological evolution and origin of the early african amphorae; reconstruct the commercial flux of african goods to Rome in the 1st century A.D.; analyze the contents of amphorae with gascromatography (we already analyze nine samples); The present research implement the typological study of early african amphorae and, with the support of petrographic analysis, contribute to clarify origin and chronology of amphorae. The study try to give back an image of the presence of those amphorae across the Mediterranean and in Rome from the 2nd century B.C. to the 1st century A.D. One of the most important results of this study is to identify the origin of Early African Amphorae in Northern-Tunisia. In conclusion the research contribute to highlight the trade of african goods in the Mediterranean basin and in Rome from half II B.C. to end of I A.D.-beginning of II A.D
