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 textThe aim of this thesis is to study what role the civic cult of emperors played in the running of Greek cities and the Roman Empire, and to bring new elements to the understanding of how Greek elites behaved towards the Roman rulers. Our thesis is made up of a study of the organization of priesthoods of the civic imperial cult in Asia Minor from an institutional, religious and social perspective, as well as a prosopography of the priests in Asia Minor cities – there are about 460 of them as far as we yet know from sources. The establishing of high-priesthoods devoted to the imperial cult integrated the latter into the political and social life of the Greek communities. Often linked to eponymous offices, although they did not replace them, emperor’s priesthoods were among the higher positions in cities. They held an original status in civil religion: the development of collective cults of the imperial house made them rather homogenous and set them apart from traditional religion. From the élites’s point of view, great-priesthoods quickly became another opportunity for being generous and showing their piety, but they only played a small part in Romanization. Indeed, the civic imperial cult seems to have been mostly a local matter

Full textThe Roman imperial power includes several aspects such as religious, militaries and politics. Thus, it reveals a very great complexity. Indeed, the different kinds of imperial legitimacy can take a religious origin, use a glory military or it can leave it to senatorial choice. The emergence of a institutionalized personal power will come out slowly, thanks to the creation of an imperial worship, furthering an imperial legitimacy, which is based on superhuman status of prince. Then, necessarily, the emperor is going to be faced up to inheritance question. That is the reason, the emperor is going to suggest his dynastic preference, involving a member of his family inside imperial government. Thus, the research of imperial legitimacy, even if it distinguishes by his intricacy, includes three essential stages : imperial appointment, upholding of imperial power, then demise of imperial power

Full textOvids "Fasti" offers a commentary on the Roman public calendar and acutely stresses its transformations at the beginning of the Empire, with the introduction of new festivals celebrating Augustus and important members of his family. The poet doesn't have to submit to any "official discourse" : he is playing with the formal structure of the calendar, and his clever "montage" reveals essential "tensions" not only in the elegiac writing, but also in the public religion. The complex construction based on "sequences" enables Ovid to analyse the components of the divine status promised to the "princeps" after his death. The poet also mentions the rising and setting of the constellations, which are interpreted as signals of the dialogue between gods an men. Ovid wants to show how Augustus is manipulating celestial rhythms in order to come closer to the gods. His reflection about the apotheosis notices the birth of a dynasty, which will care about the transmission of the great imperial power. In the "Fasti", Ovid presents original ideas about politics and religion and shows a great literary talent. His poetic virtuosity doesn't impede his theological reflection, on the contrary, it represents a tool for his aetiological inquiry

Full textHow can the stoics reconcile the research of rational piety based on moral perfection with the legitimization of the ritualism and traditional representation of pagan gods? After studying the constant oscillation between the legitimization and condemnation of traditional rites in ancient stoicism, we demonstrate that the roman stoics, Cornutus, Persius, Epictectus and Marcus Aurelius, address the same question, but with two essential specifics : adapting it to the political-religious context of Imperial Rome and paying particular attention to their readers as to the pedagogic strategist to grant its moral conversion

Full textThis study focuses on the imperial cult in the Near East and its expressions, by analysing the place of the emperor and of the imperial power's image through time and space, from Augustus to Constantine. The epigraphic, literary, numismatic and archaeological sources (sculptures, monumental architecture, town planning) are analysed, from Phoenicia to Osrhoene, from Commagene to Arabia. The first part deals with the urban and rural spaces, and with the sanctuaries where representations of the imperial power took place. It emphasizes the ubiquity of the “surveyor emperor”. The second part treats of the symbolic functions of the sculptures and of the religious figures linked to a theoretically eternal power, without disregarding the question of imperial epithets. The third part analyses the celebrations, the organization and the promotion of the imperial cult : Greek games, gladiators contests, as well as civic, provincial and supra-provincial structures are tackled, then it ends with the major role of the regional dependent kings, of the city notables, and of the Roman governors

Full textAugustan Gods, mainly known through epigraphy, commonly bestowed with the Imperial title Augustus/a as an epithet, are part of the « imperial cult » and represented a threefold political, religious and social acculturation. « Augustalization » does refer to the emperor but in that case he couldn’t be considered as an incarnate god or even be seen as protected by the gods. It implied a synergy between the gods and the emperor who stood as their mediator, remaining close to men. The exclusive term Augustus/a refers to Romulus, to the auspices of the imperator, to auctoritas which made the Prince legitimate. Although quite rare in the East augustan gods were commonly well-spread in the West, from Augustus’s reign until the early years of the IVth century. The Roman gods chosen for augustalization were not really the political divinities which might be expected to be found but more likely benevolent gods protecting the cities and their inhabitants. Under the gods carrying Roman names we can discover numerous native divinities which had been reinterpreted (interpretatio romana) and which, with the purely indigenous gods, keep their local roots. With a particular suppleness augustalization integrated into the Empire all these provincial identities. Characteristic of all the backgrounds influenced by romanization, augustalization was first and foremost used by the municipal elite, who, through their evergetism, spread it in the rural areas but mainly among the urban population, thus strenghtening their legitimacy. Augustales and rich freedmen, quick to imitate elite, spread it among the rest of the population. High-ranking officials and officers stayed in the background. Constantly present in all the urban areas augustan gods concentrated their presence in civic centres and other loci celeberrimi where the strenth of the political power was obviously seen. Urban scenographies and ceremonies reveal the consensus of all the members of a strong social hierarchy structured around the emperors seen as the direct go-betweens to the gods. Augustalization made the power even more sacred and legitimate and gathered around its symbolic representation an acculturated society with its manyfold identities

Full textProtohostoric Gaul is traditionally seen as devoid of unity, torn apart by continuous wars between its peoples. The Gallic entity described by Caesar would be a creation of his own in view of Roman politics goals. Nonetheless, the institutions of Gallic peoples are seen as a coherent whole obeying to the Aeduan model. The renewed study of the sources, particularly the "Bellum Gallicum", invalidates these views inherited from passed centuries. ln fact, Gaul is a reality that precedes the Roman description. It is a coherent political space with common political practices: assemblies at different levels, among which one for Gaul, the recognition of a hegemonic people, the use of general coalitions headed by a war leader. These practices, well established already during Caesar's time, provided for a part of the basis of the Roman administrative system in Gaul. Thus the Gallic entity is perpetuated though the cult at the Confluent which ignored the provincial tripartition and partially obeyed criteria inherited from the independence. As for the peoples' institutions, they are here considered as many of independent entities therefore revealing their diversity in spite of their convergences. The Roman conquest did not entail an immediate institutional upheaval and civil wars delayed the establishment of a "forma provinciae". Rome then relies on men it maintained to power. It is only in 16-13 BC that Augustus completed the provincial cutting and triggered civic mutation in Gaul which leads to more institutional homogeneity. But diversity endured and the Latin right doesn't put an end to situations inherited from the past either

Full textThis thesis focuses on the evolution of imperial public ceremonies in the late Roman world, a theme that seemed fundamental to the understanding of the political institutions of the Roman Empire of the fourth to seventh centuries. These developments are without doubt among the most important changes that have taken the world of Late Roman Antiquity, as they reach the supreme power and aura within society. The main objective of the ceremonies is to exalt the emperor, to manifest his triumphal rulership and his sacrality - even his holiness after the adoption of christianism - and to magnify and celebrate the divine power he held. Our purpose is to show how we shift from an emperor, princeps senatus, which seeks to maintain a republican fiction to hide the monarchical nature of his power, and is the epitome of Roman history ; to an emperor who is elected by God. Three axes have guided our research: The centrality of the role of the emperor in the evolution of public ceremonies. The importance of the integration of the emperor in the ceremonial system of the Church and the integration of the clergy and especially the bishop in the ceremonial system of the empire. The importance of the barbars on the ceremonial phenomenon. In Late antiquity we can clearly seen influences and mutual acculturation in the ceremonies, but also forms of rejection of these paradigmatic changes of the cultural evolutions of the period

Full textThe rebellion which followed the murder of Ptolemy of Mauritania could not prevent the annexation of the country and the founding of two Roman provinces. Volubilis, the leading city of this farthest African West, thus joins all the cities that have contributed to the worldwide influence of the afro-roman civilisation. The city, which had already been influenced by the Mediterranean cultural koine, adopts, alike the other African cities, the cults introduced by the new masters and sets the Emperor's cult as a token of the populations' loyalty. However, beyond this apparent conformity the analysis of the documents reveals some original characteristics about this city where a number of great African gods have met tedious welcome if not none at all. In Spite of our ignorance of religious life in Volubilis during the pre-roman period, shall this selective adhesion be explained by the existence of former cults ? Rome has actually tolerated that specificities be expressed in religious life but it has nonetheless imposed its gods

Full textIsiac worship spread around the mediterranean basin between IVth c. BC and late IVth century AD, arriving to Rome at Ist century BC and disappearing there at the same time as traditional pagan worship, with or soon after Theodosius’policy. So, their Italian distribution spreads during a large part of the history of Western Empire, and thus, they’re going to meet the man henceforth considered as primus inter pares, thanks to the accumulation of his powers. The emperor is pontifex maximus that is master of the public worship and the religious right, thus he is the powerful agent who possesses the religious and legislative potential to have a varied discourse on other religious traditions. It seems inevitable that the sphere of isiac worship meets and interacts with Roman traditional religious sphere, and that some emperors interfere, by reinforcement or opposition, with the isiac cults arrived not enough time before the advent of the imperial power. This thesis studies non only the dialectic between Roman institué (inertial force) and isiac instituant (force of changes) in the direction of a potential included otherness (that to say the evolving dialogue of Us in relation to the Other), but especially by Roman publics links (and processing) between the isiac worship and the emperors. We do this research with four types of antique sources : literature for the views of the Greco-Roman literary elite ; the isiac inscriptions for (popular) definition of the identity of the isiac instituant ; the coins and the monumental works for the public (and sometimes more personal) imperial point of view. We focus our study from the Severan dynasty, what can let suppose that these romano-oriental worship take advantage of this new imperial configuration with emperors from Africa and the East, in a phenomenon of isiac " imperialization " intensified by both imperial and popular involvement. Moreover, we soften the consequences on isiac spread of disorders that arise in the second half of the IIIth century. Finally, the IVth century, with the christianization of the Empire and so christianity becoming institué, brings to an analysis of the debates between the active defenders of the paganism and the christian writers, and from there, on questions over the intervention of the isiac group in this face to face.
