Géopolitique coloniale et cultures locales dans l'Orient hellénistique et romain (IIIe siècle av. J.-C. – IIIe siècle ap. J.-C.)
It seems clear that, in the Greek-speaking regions of the Roman Empire, Hellenistic models (civic, military or institutional) exercised considerable influence over “Italic” colonial projects. Within this field, relations between military colonists and indigenous peoples demand special attention, considering the degree of social, cultural, economic, political and geopolitical transformation brought about by the installation of certain groups upon those lands as a result of the will of the great power(s) that ruled over them. As for the Roman colonization, modern scholars have often described Roman colonies as vectors of Romanization inserted in alien lands, writing that these communities must have functioned as images of a “small Rome.” While the existence of Latin-speaking colonists ruled by a favorable juridical system such as the Ius Italicum cannot be denied, such a reductionist model can no longer be accepted without qualification, especially in the context of the Greek-speaking provinces of the Roman East. The regions of the Eastern Mediterranean world saw the coming of a number of groups of Roman colonists and thus their cultural climate, their agrarian structures and their geopolitical environment changed. The aim of this panel is to explore new research paths based on broader studies in time and space.

Rites et légitimation : les jeux séculaires au regard des sciences sociales
Cette journée d'étude aura lieu au Collège de France (chaire du Professeur J. Scheid) le 28 juin 2010. Les Jeux séculaires de 17 avant notre ère sont une des plus importantes cérémonies organisées par Auguste pour mettre en scène son pouvoir et sa légitimité. Ils forment également une séquence rituelle majeure qui les place au coeur de l'étude des rites de la religion romaine officielle. Enfin, ce dossier repose sur un ensemble de sources, notamment épigraphiques, de tout premier plan par la précision des informations conservées. L'analyse et la mise en perspective de cet ensemble exceptionnel nécessitent de croiser les démarches et les points de vue afin de mieux comprendre cet objet complexe. C'est pourquoi cette journée d'étude réunit des chercheurs en histoire romaine, en sociologie politique et en littérature de façon à susciter une réflexion interdisciplinaire sur les liens entre rites et légitimation.
