The Berthouville Silver Treasure and Roman Luxury
In 1830 a farmer plowing a field near the village of Berthouville in Normandy, France, discovered a trove of ancient Roman silver objects weighing some 55 pounds (25 kilograms). The Berthouville treasure, as the find came to be known, includes two statuettes representing the Gallo-Roman god Mercury and approximately sixty vessels—bowls, cups, pitchers, and plates, many of which bear votive inscriptions—along with dozens of smaller components and fragments. Dedicated to Mercury by various individuals, the treasure, including some of the finest ancient Roman silver to survive, fortunately escaped being melted down. It was acquired by the Cabinet des médailles et antiques of the Bibliothè...

The Rivals
Jean de La Taille's play Les Corrivaus is the comical story of the rivalry between Filadelfe and Euverte for the lovely Fleurdelys. Difficulties are resolved symmetrically, and matrimony is the order at the end of the day--though, in the best Renaissance tradition, the difficulties had appeared grave indeed. The play should appeal to anyone interested in the theatre, but it is of considerable importance to historians of Renaissance drama, since it is generally accepted as the earliest surviving French humanist comedy written in prose, and the first to be based on Italian models. In particular, La Taille draws heavily upon Le Maçon's translation of Boccaccio's Decameron. The play also amplifies understanding of numerous conventions of Renaissance drama--especially those related to stagecraft, plot, and thematic treatment--yet La Taille transcends mere conventionality in his skilled treatment of character and plot. He also manages to accomplish his didactic purpose, informing his audience of the foibles of lovers, with a minimum of sententious moralizing.
L'armée romaine en Gaule
La défaite d'Alésia ne fut ni le premier, ni le dernier épisode d'une histoire militaire mouvementée, qui mit fréquemment aux prises Celtes et Latins. Du sac de Rome par les bandes de Brennus, en 390 avant J.-C., à la sanglante répression qui suivit la mort de Néron, plus d'un siècle après Alésia, en passant par la conquête de la future Narbonnaise, légionnaires et soldats gaulois eurent plus d'une fois l'occasion de s'affronter, avec des fortunes diverses pour chacun des deux partis. Ce livre retrace l'histoire complexe de ces rapports, faits tour à tour d'hostilité et de collaboration, assez éloignés, somme toute, du récit simple et linéaire qu'on nous a enseigné. Écri...
l'IMPOSTURE ALÉSIA
Le véritable site d'Alésia, qui vit s'affronter César et Vercingétorix en l'an 52 av. J.-C., n'a toujours pas été découvert, en dépit des affirmations officielles qui le localisent à Alise Sainte-Reine (Bourgogne)et du Centre d'Interprétation qui surgit actuellement du sol. Aucune des données géographiques, historiques, stratégiques de ce site ne s'accorde avec le texte de César et l'interrogation surgit à chaque page. Le site alternatif de Chaux-des-Crotenay, Sayam et Crans, dans le Jura, rend compte, lui, et exactement, de toutes ces données. La stratégie de Vercingétorix y trouve sa pleine dimension, et celle de César se comprend mieux sur un site qui en explique tous les détails. La découverte revient à André Berthier, Membre de l'Institut, décédé en 2000. Ce livre l'expose et l'enrichit.

oppidum - civitas – urbs
TOLETUM, das "Netzwerk zur Erforschung der Iberischen Halbinsel in der Antike", legt mit diesem Band erstmals ein deutsch-spanisches Kompendium zur Städteforschung vor. In 36 Beiträgen gewährt eine neue Generation von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern Einblick in ihre Untersuchungen einer Region des Mittelmeerraums, die wie keine andere in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten durch spektakuläre Neufunde auf sich aufmerksam gemacht hat: Das Amphitheater von Corduba, das Theater und Forum von Carthago Nova oder Caesaraugusta, Teile der Stadtanlage von Segobriga und das Senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre, die Lex Irnitana - ja über 20.000 Inschriften. Auf der Grundlage eines interdisziplinären und traditionelle Periodisierungen überschreitenden Ansatzes bieten die Analysen von Stadtanlagen wie epigraphischen Monumenten neue Erkenntnisse in die bauliche Ausgestaltung und soziale Organisation der "Lebenswelt Stadt" zwischen Rom und al-Andalus.
