  Female majesty, from the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages - heritage and metamorphoses

  Les femmes de la famille impériale ou royale, impératrices, reines ou « princesses », de la basse Antiquité au Moyen Âge, jouissent d’une position protocolaire souvent assortie de prérogatives et de privilèges. Cette position est le fruit d’un héritage complexe, entre traditions gréco-romaines lentement sédimentées et pratiques germaniques variées. Un atelier sur la figure de la souveraine, entre Orient et Occident, viserait, par une suite de rapports de synthèses problématisés, à définir rang et position de la souveraine sur le temps long.
