Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'importance de la pratique du voyage dans l'Afrique Proconsulaire est soulignée par la densité du réseau routier antique dans la province. L'étude du voyage conduit à envisager la romanisation sous un autre aspect que celui, souvent mis en avant, des structures urbaines. Les définitions du voyage sont multiples et reflètent l'extrême diversité des situations : mission d'exploration, voyage d'agrément, ou encore déplacement professionnel ou privé. Le contexte africain conduit en outre à s'interroger sur la pratique du semi-nomadisme sous l'Empire. Les sources littéraires se font d'abord l'écho des voyages officiels, des missions d'exploration au début de l'Empire, et des quelques voyages d'empereurs dans la province. Le développement de la littérature africaine latine à partir du IIe siècle multiplie par ailleurs les récits de voyage personnels, en particulier avec Apulée et plus tard Augustin. L'étude des sources épigraphiques africaines offre d'autre part un éclairage particulier sur l'identification des voyageurs, vivants et morts. Les “pratiques voyageuses” officielles et privées n'ont pas les mêmes finalités et impliquent des moyens différents. Mais toutes servent de véhicule à la romanisation. A la fin de l'Antiquité, le cadre des voyages en Proconsulaire est ainsi devenu le lieu de promotion de l'ordre politique romain, paré des attributs de la religion chrétienne.

Download or read book Monica written by Gillian Clark and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely did ancient authors write about the lives of women; even more rarely did they write about the lives of ordinary women: not queens or heroines who influenced war or politics, not sensational examples of virtue or vice, not Christian martyrs or ascetics, but women of moderate status, who experienced everyday joys and sorrows and had everyday merits and failings. Such a woman was Monica--now Saint Monica because of her relationship with her son Augustine, who wrote about her in the Confessions and elsewhere. Despite her rather unremarkable life, Saint Monica has inspired a robust controversy in academia, the Church, and the Augustine-reading public alike: some agree with Ambrose, bishop of Milan, who knew Monica, that Augustine was exceptionally blessed in having such a mother, while others think that Monica is a classic example of the manipulative mother who lives through her son, using religion to repress his sexual life and to control him even when he seems to escape. In Monica: An Ordinary Saint, Gillian Clark reconciles these competing images of Monica's life and legacy, arriving at a woman who was shrewd and enterprising, but also meek and gentle. Weighing Augustine's discussion of his mother against other evidence of women's lives in late antiquity, Clark achieves portraits both of Monica individually, and of the many women like her. Augustine did not claim that his mother was a saint, but he did think that the challenges of everyday life required courage and commitment to Christian principle. Monica's ordinary life, as both he and Clark tell it, showed both. Monica: An Ordinary Saint illuminates Monica, wife and mother, in the context of the societal expectations and burdens that shaped her and all ordinary women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume aims to present the current state of research on Roman roads and their foundations in a combined historical and archaeological perspective. The focus is on the diverse local histories and the varying degrees of significance of individual roads and regional networks, which are treated here for the most important regions of the empire and beyond. The assembled contributions will be of interest to historians, archaeologists and epigraphers, since they tackle matters as diverse as the technical modalities of road-building, the choice of route, but also the functionality and the motives behind the creation of roads. Roman roads are further intimately related to various important aspects of Roman history, politics and culture. After all, such logistical arteries form the basis of all communication and exchange processes, enabling not only military conquest and security but also facilitating the creation of an organized state as well as trade, food supply and cultural exchange. The study of Roman roads must always be based on a combination of written and archaeological sources in order to take into account both their concrete geographical location and their respective spatial, cultural, and historical context.
Download or read book Histoire de l Afrique romaine written by Yann Le Bohec and published by Editions A&J Picard. This book was released on 2005 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Afrique romaine est devenue célèbre grâce aux écrivains illustres qu'elle a vu naître - Apulée, Tertullien, s. Cyprien et s. Augustin - et grâce aux ruines majestueuses de sites comme Carthage, Dougga, Timgad et Volubilis. Elle a donné à Rome des chevaliers, des sénateurs et même la famille impériale des Sévères, originaire de Lepcis Magna en Tripolitaine. Elle est un terrain d'études en constants progrès. C'est ainsi que, dans le domaine économique, plusieurs enquêtes ont bouleversé son image traditionnelle. Cette région en effet ne fut pas seulement le " grenier à blé de Rome " ; un artisanat très actif produisant essentiellement de la céramique s'y était développé. En ce qui concerne la religion, on sait aujourd'hui que la population vénérait un grand dieu, Saturne. Et si elle s'est largement convertie au christianisme ce ne fut jamais totalement ; elle eut pourtant ses martyrs, notamment Perpétue et Félicité. L'Afrique romaine bénéficie d'une documentation abondante et de qualité. Cependant les historiens n'ont pas toujours suffisamment pris en compte ses spécificités qui touchent le domaine même des institutions. Des questions restent posées et des débats ont été ouverts : tous les Africains ont-ils été romanisés ? Jugurtha et Tacfarinas, célèbres insurgés, furent-ils des exceptions ou des modèles ? Comment l'Afrique a-t-elle vécu la " crise du IIIe siècle " ? Dans quelle mesure a-t-elle été touchée par la " renaissance du IVe siècle " ? Pourquoi et comment s'est faite la conquête vandale ?

Download or read book Trade in the Ancient Sahara and Beyond written by D. J. Mattingly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saharan trade has been much debated in modern times, but the main focus of interest remains the medieval and early modern periods, for which more abundant written sources survive. The pre-Islamic origins of Trans-Saharan trade have been hotly contested over the years, mainly due to a lack of evidence. Many of the key commodities of trade are largely invisible archaeologically, being either of high value like gold and ivory, or organic like slaves and textiles or consumable commodities like salt. However, new research on the Libyan people known as the Garamantes and on their trading partners in the Sudan and Mediterranean Africa requires us to revise our views substantially. In this volume experts re-assess the evidence for a range of goods, including beads, textiles, metalwork and glass, and use it to paint a much more dynamic picture, demonstrating that the pre-Islamic Sahara was a more connected region than previously thought.
Download or read book L Afrique romaine de 69 439 written by Marie-Pierre Arnaud-Lindet and published by Editions du Temps. This book was released on 2005 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question sur l'Afrique " romaine ", mise au concours du Capes d'Histoire-Géographie et de l'agrégation d'Histoire, propose l'étude d'une région de l'Empire romain (entre 69 et 439 de notre ère). Elle permet d'aborder des questions essentielles de l'histoire antique du monde méditerranéen : celle de l'organisation des territoires passés sous la tutelle de Rome, celle des rapports avec les peuples dits indigènes, celle des transformations sociales et culturelles, au rang desquelles figure la christianisation de l'Afrique. L'étude s'étend sur une longue période, trois siècles et demi, et inclut tous les aspects de la vie et de l'histoire des provinces africaines. C'est cette diversité que nous avons voulu faire valoir. Le présent ouvrage est un ensemble de contributions rédigées par des spécialistes de chacune de ces questions historiques : sources, organisation politique et administrative, vie sociale, économique et religieuse, voies de la romanisation. Le volume est complété par des cartes hors-texte réalisées par André Buisson.

This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French invaded Algeria in 1830, and found a landscape rich in Roman remains, which they proceeded to re-use to support the constructions such as fortresses, barracks and hospitals needed to fight the natives (who continued to object to their presence), and to house the various colonisation projects with which they intended to solidify their hold on the country, and to make it both modern and profitable. Arabs and Berbers had occasionally made use of the ruins, but it was still a Roman and Early Christian landscape when the French arrived. In the space of two generations, this was destroyed, just as were many ancient remains in France, in part because “real” architecture was Greek, not Roman.
