Assessing Institutional and Ideological Changes
Among the various changes which affected Greek cities during the late Hellenistic and early Imperial periods with regard to political practices and political culture, the disappearance of the concept of dēmokratia from the public discourse is certainly one of the most striking features. Although dēmokratia had been a core value during the whole Hellenistic period, as Greek cities asserted their ability to maintain their own institutions, the cess…
Early Christianity in Macedonia
Prompted by the recent book of Julien Ogereau on Early Christianity in Macedonia until the sixth century, the second volume in the new series “Early Christianity in Greece,” and the development of the epigraphical database Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae ( ICG ), this essay explores the different views ancient history and the history of the church have on current and future research on early Christianity. The ICG project and the related volumes…
Shifting Imperial Policies towards Provincial Elites in the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Balkans and Asia Minor
The article focuses on imperial policies towards provincial elites in the Balkans and Asia Minor in three major empires which succeeded one another, namely the Roman, the Byzantine and the Ottoman. Provincial elites were important for imperial power as intermediaries between local communities and central authorities. Our article adopts a political and institutional approach, and focuses on provincial elites as agents who were given formal or info…
Un document comptable sur lamelle de plomb et autres objets métalliques inscrits du site de Mandeure, cité des Séquanes (avec un appendice sur la méthode de déchiffrement)
Le site de Mandeure (Epomanduodurum), s’étant développé autour d’un sanctuaire d’origine gauloise consacré au dieu Mars et faisant partie de la cité des Séquanes, a livré, outre une dizaine d’inscriptions lapidaires, une quantité importante d’objets inscrits faits de matériaux divers. On trouvera dans le présent article la publication de cinq objets métalliques inédits portant des inscriptions : une patère en bronze et une étiquette en plomb qui …
The Provincial Contexts of Paul’s Imprisonments
This article explores the legal contexts which led to the multiple imprisonments experienced by the Paul of the letters (as attested in particular by Phil. 1.13) and depicted also in Acts, contrasting these with the numerous occasions where the apostle faced opposition or even violence from local populations and authorities without being jailed. By looking at the realities of law enforcement operations and criminal procedures in the Eastern provi…
Civic Identity and Civic Participation in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages
Surveiller le territoire des cités d’Asie mineure aux époques hellénistique et impériale
Drawing on the publication of a dozen of new inscriptions during the past fifteen years, the article examines the administrative, financial and fiscal implications of patrolling the countryside (phylake tes choras) in Greek cities of Asia Minor during the Hellenistic and Roman Imperial periods. Due to the lack of permanent institutions dealing with the policing of their rural territories and because of cash shortage, Hellenistic cities, and somet…
Local Understandings of Roman Criminal Law and Procedure in Asia Minor
This chapter deals with the knowledge provincials had, and the use they made, of Roman criminal procedure in the provinces of Asia Minor during the imperial period. This will be examined through two main categories of evidence: (1) petitions to emperors complaining about Roman soldiers or functionaries’ abuses against local population, (2) funerary inscriptions including provisions claiming that fines should be paid to the imperial treasury in ca…

L'archonte stéphanéphore et la Tyché de Lébadée
La base inscrite que nous publions ci-apres fut decouverte fortuitement en mars 1989 dans la ville de Livadia, en Beotie, l'antique Lebadee
Les premiers comptes du sanctuaire d'Apollon à Délion et le concours pan-béotien des Delia
Une stèle en calcaire portant trois inscriptions, trouvée en 1992 dans la ville de Dilesi en Béotie orientale, livre les premiers documents comptables du sanctuaire d'Apollon Délien, situé sur le territoire de la cité de Tanagra. L'inscription gravée sur la face antérieure de la pierre, la principale et la mieux conservée, est la copie de la reddition de comptes faite à sa sortie de fonction par l'agonothète chargé de l'organisation des Delia, le…
De nouveaux notables dans la colonie de Philippes
Les auteurs présentent la publication préliminaire de sept inscriptions inédites provenant de la colonie romaine de Philippes dans la province de Macédoine. Ces inscriptions font connaître de nouveaux notables locaux actifs dans la colonie au cours du Ier et du IIe siècles apr. J.-C. On note parmi eux un soldat originaire de Philippes ayant fait carrière dans les cohortes de vigiles à Rome, ainsi que plusieurs magistrats municipaux et sévirs augu…
Une nouvelle dédicace à la triade artémisiaque provenant d'Erétrie
Publication d’une base inscrite en marbre, découverte en remploi dans le dallage du temple du culte impérial d’Érétrie sur l’île d’Eubée. La double inscription gravée sur la face antérieure de la base montre que celle-ci portait à l’origine deux statues de bronze honorant les membres d’une même famille érétrienne et que l’ensemble était dédié à la triade formée d’Artémis, Apollon et Lêtô. L’analyse paléographique et l’examen typologique de la bas…
Le fonctionnement des institutions et le déroulement des carrières dans la colonie de Philippes

These results belong to a preliminary study for the publ…
