  Post-doctorate researcher in "Roman women: legal changes and finances"

  Anchoring Work Package 4

  The transition from republican to imperial rule is one of the main turning points in the history of the ancient world, which had profound consequences for the lives of Roman men and women. As the first emperor, Augustus anchored his multiple political innovations by presenting them as the restoration of the Roman Republic. As part of this restoration programme he posed as the restorer of traditional Roman moral values, issuing legislation to stimulate marriages within the elite and to curb adultery (the Leges Juliae de maritandis ordinibus and de adulteriis coercendis). The ius trium liberorum, which was part of this legislation, gave women sui iuris with three or more children full legal capacity over their property, thus paving the way for women’s civic engagement and public visibility, for instance as benefactresses in numerous cities of Italy and the provinces.

  Two PhD positions in the Emmy-Noether junior research group on "power and influence: influencing emperors between Antiquity and the Middle Ages"

  Since rulers of the Imperial Roman Period and the Early Middle Ages occupied the highest (secular) position, individuals who exerted influence on them enjoyed a great extent of power. As a consequence, there was bitter rivalry between the various agents and much thinking about legitimate and illegitimate influence. These exercises and concepts of personal influence are the topic of a new Emmy-Noether junior research group, which is offering two PhD positions.

  Personal Influence on the Rulers of Imperial Rome and the Early Middle Ages

  Since rulers of the Imperial Roman Period and the Early Middle Ages occupied the highest (secular) position, individuals who exerted influence on them enjoyed a great extent of power. As a consequence, there was bitter rivalry between the various agents, which is reflected in discourses on legitimate and illegitimate influence. The goal of the conference is to establish interpersonal influence as a subject of historical research. Furthermore the study of influence on rulers is to make a contribution towards political history as well as the history of mentalities and discourse.

  Autorité sexuée et légitimité du genre dans les mondes anciens

  Une journée d'étude organisée par le laboratoire-junior ERAMA et l'ARGU

  Alors que le prisme du genre, c’est-à-dire de l’ « ensemble des assignations socialement construites à partir de l’identité sexuelle », se trouve aujourd’hui légitimement établi dans les études d’histoire contemporaine et en sociologie, les recherches antiques ont encore quelques difficultés à utiliser ce nouveau paradigme pour comprendre les spécificités des mondes anciens. Cependant, quelques études, souvent récentes, ouvrent la voie pour mettre en avant l’affirmation d’une identité sexuée construite, particulièrement dans les sociétés grecque et latine. Cette journée d’étude se propose donc de s’interroger sur un lien possible entre genre et autorité.
