Peeters Publishers Auctor in Bibliotheca: Essai Sur Les Textes
Book SynopsisUne enigme litteraire - celle, posee par les textes prefaciels de Vitruve dans leur signification et leur date - qui se resout par une histoire de mots, l'histoire des mots latins du livre, dont la langue francaise et nombre de langues occidentales ont herite, qu'il s'agisse du "livre" ou des "volumes", de l'"auteur", de l'"edition", du "commentaire" ou de l'"explication". Il se trouve que les significations des mots evoluant avec les siecles la comprehension des textes antiques ou on les lit avec leur forme et leur sens d'origine peut etre obsurcie par nos habitudes d'usage en notre temps. Voila pourquoi les textes prefaciels de Vitruve conservaient encore des aspects enigmatiques malgre l'extraordinaire avancee des etudes vitruviennes au 20e siecle. Avec un essai de relecture "a l'antique" apparait le tour de force litteraire qu'est "la preface" du "De Architectura", se precise la date a laquelle l'"edition" de l'ouvrage eut lieu, s'entrevoit la scene de sa "naissance officielle", lorsque tous deux reunis l'"Architectus scriptor" de Rome - l'unique - et l'"Imperator Caesar Augustus" s'entretinrent de litterature, de bibliotheques, et de la rencontre sacree qu'est la lecture.

Peeters Publishers Imperial Authority and Dissent: The Roman Empire
Book SynopsisWhen Severus Alexander came to a brutal end in the spring of AD 235, his successor Maximinus certainly did not meet with the approval of all his subjects. Nil novi sub sole...After all, which Roman emperor was universally loved and admired? Yet few emperors received as bad a press as Maximinus and no other legitimate emperor was as bluntly dismissed by the senate. In AD 238, a revolt that had been slumbering since Maximinus' accession flared up. African landowners chose the old proconsul of Africa Proconsularis, M. Antonius Gordianus, to lead their cause. The senate in Rome was quick to support the counter-emperor and played an important role in the ensuing events. Many reasons for the uprising and the senate's response can be found: tax pressure, confiscations and the corruption of state officials, ideological reasons, power politics, personal ambitions, personal networks ...These are not isolated tendencies, though. Society was gradually changing, with an increasing instability of imperial power, frontier wars, a growing military power, a growing social mobility, causing tensions between various social groups, and the imbalance between state income and expenditure, especially as a result of the growing cost of the army. All these factors contributed to the unstable situation of AD 238.
