Cette thèse a pour objet l'architecture de passage qui ponctuait le parcours d'un visiteur ou d'un citoyen au sein du paysage urbain micrasiatique : propylées, portes urbaines et arcs sur rue. Notre travail portait sur les cités d'Asie Mineure, sans cadre géographique restrictif, afin d'obtenir une vision globale du phénomène étudié. L'étude a été partagée en deux grands ensembles : les propylées d'un côté et les portes urbaines et arcs sur rue d'un autre. Les propylées constituaient les entrées monumentales de sanctuaires, agoras, gymnases et bouleutérions. Notre étude comprend les propylées depuis l'époque classique jusqu'à l'époque romaine. Les propylées classiques constituaient essentiellement les entrées monumentales des grands sanctuaires-terrasses hécatomnides de Carie. A l'époque hellénistique, les propylées se sont multipliés et se trouvaient désormais en contextes cultuels et profanes. Les propylées romains représentaient pour la plupart des entrées monumentales rajoutées à des complexes préexistants, peu appartenaient à un nouveau complexe. Nous trouvons des propylées qui reprenaient des formules de l'époque hellénistique, des propylées à façade monumentale édiculée, des propylées qui adoptaient la forme de l'arc romain et enfin des propylées qui reprenaient la forme des salles impériales. Les portes urbaines totalement dépourvues de tout caractère défensif se sont développées grâce au climat de sécurité de la Pax Romana. Elles marquaient la séparation entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur de la ville, constituaient un véritable repère topographique et, comme la première image que le visiteur avait de la ville, elles annonçaient la splendeur de la ville et projetaient la valeur de l'urbanistas. Ces portes urbaines étaient soit de nouvelles portes insérées dans les anciens remparts, soit libres de tout rempart, soit un réaménagement des anciennes portes. Les arcs sur rue étaient construits sur une rue à colonnades ou à un carrefour pour des raisons urbanistiques et organiques et esthétiques. Tout en embellissant un parcours, ils ponctuaient et articulaient celui-ci et servaient aussi de points de repère. Leurs façades, richement décorées, participaient à l'embellissement et à l'animation des paysages urbains. Ces arcs apparaissaient comme une composante d'un programme urbanistique. Certains arcs étaient honorifiques ou commémoratifs. A l'époque romaine, l'architecture de passage reflétait les changements de la vie politique et de la structure sociale. L'autoreprésentation, la propagande impériale et la vive concurrence entre les cités vont jouer un rôle important dans la conception de ces monuments. Leur richesse et leur magnificence devaient impressionner les visiteurs et donc augmenter l'image reflétée par la cité de sa puissance et de sa gloire.Ils participaient donc à l'ornementation de la cité. / This thesis deals with the architecture of passage that punctuate the course of a visitor or a citizen in the urban landscape of Asia Minor : propylaea, city-gates and arches on street. Our work focused on the cities of Asia Minor with no geographical limits in order to provide an overall view of the phenomenon. This study was divided into two major groups : the propylaea on the one hand and city-gates and arches on street on the other hand. The propylaea were the monumental entrances to shrines, agorai, gymnasiums and bouleuteria. Our study includes the propylaea from the classical period to the Roman era. Classical propylaea were mainly the monumental entrances to the major hecatomnid's shrines-terraces of Caria. In the Hellenistic period, the propylaea multiplied and tuned into religious and secular backgrounds. Most Roman propylaea made up monumental entrances added to existing complexes, few being part of a new one. We find some propylaea that went back over formulas of the Hellenistic period, others with monumental edicular façade, those in the form of the a Roman arch and finally the propylaea reproducing the form of "Marmorsaal". City-gates, that were completely devoid of any defensive features, developed in the peaceful period of the Pax Romana. They marked the boundary between the inside and the outside of the city, were a real topographical landmark and, as the first glimpse of the city for the visitors, heralded its splendor and highlighted the value of the urbanitas. These city-gates were either new city-gates inserted into the ancient city-walls, free of any city-walls, or old city-gates rearranged. The street arches were built on a colonnaded street or at a crossroads for urban, organic and aesthetic reasons. While beautifying a course, they structured and punctuated it as well as serving as landmarks. Their richly decorated facades participated in the beautification and animation of the urban landscape. These arches appear as a component of an urban program. Some of them were honorific or commemorative. In Roman times, the architecture of passage reflected changes in the political life and social structure. The self-representation, the imperial propaganda and the fierce competition between cities would play a major part in the designing of these monuments. Their richness and splendor must have impressed visitors and thus enhanced the city's power and glory picture. They participated in its ornamentation.

In this dissertation, I investigate a number of interrelated developments affecting the morphosyntax of nouns in Cappadocian Greek. I specifically focus on the development of differential object marking, the loss of grammatical gender distinctions, and the neuterisation of noun inflection. My aim is to provide a diachronic account of the innovations that Cappadocian has undergone in the three domains mentioned above. !ll the innovations examined in this study have the effect of rendering the morphology and syntax of nouns in Cappadocian more like that of neuters. On account of the historical and sociolinguistic circumstances in which Cappadocian developed as well as of the superficial similarity of their outcomes to equivalent structures in Turkish, previous research has overwhelmingly treated the Cappadocian developments as instances of contact-induced change that resulted from the influence of Turkish. In this study, I examine the Cappadocian innovations from a language-internal point of view and in comparison with parallel developments attested in the other Modern Greek dialects of Asia Minor, namely Pontic, Rumeic, Pharasiot and Silliot. My comparative analysis of a wide range of dialect-internal, cross-dialectal and cross-linguistic typological evidence shows that language contact with Turkish can be identified as the main cause of change only in the case of differential object marking. On the other hand, with respect to the origins of the most pervasive innovations in gender and noun inflection, I argue that they go back to the common linguistic ancestor of the modern Asia Minor Greek dialects and do not owe their development to language contact with Turkish. I show in detail that the superficial similarity of these latter innovations’ outcomes to their Turkish equivalents in each case represents the final stage in a long series of typologically plausible, language-internal developments whose early manifestations predate the intensification of Cappadocian–Turkish linguistic and cultural exchange. These findings show that diachronic change in Cappadocian is best understood when examined within a larger Asia Minor Greek context. On the whole, they make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the history of Cappadocian and the Asia Minor Greek dialects as well as to Modern Greek dialectology more generally, and open a fresh round of discussion on the origin and development of other innovations attested in these dialects that are considered by historical linguists and Modern Greek dialectologists to be untypically Greek or contact-induced or both.

La Lycie, région mystérieuse et fascinante, avec une identité mixte qui englobait des éléments locaux et des éléments gréco-perses, n’a pas encore une étude « générale » : pour cette raison, j’ai décidé de consacrer mon travail à son analyse. Cette thèse a été divisée en trois grandes parties : la première présente une analyse de l’évolution géographique des frontières régionales à partir du VIe siècle av. J.-C. jusqu’à la provincialisation romaine avec une perspective synchronique et diachronique. La deuxième décrit l’histoire régionale, en tenant naturellement compte des sources arrivées jusqu’à nous. La troisième contient l’édition des fragments des historiens auteurs de Lykiaka, c’est à dire les fragments des historiens de langue grecque, auteurs d’oeuvres monographiques sur cette région asiatique (Menecrate de Xanthos ; Policarme ; Léon d’Alabande ; les fragments de la « Constitution des Lyciens » ; Alexandre Polyhistor ; Capiton de Lycie ; Aristenète). Les trois parties de ce travail ne sont pas des sections indépendantes et séparées, mais interagissent et communiquent constamment les unes avec les autres : un ouvrage compliqué et composite, mais qui cherche de reproduire la complexité d’une région « de frontière ». / A general study lacks about Lycia, mysterious and fascinating region with a mixed identity that included local and Greco-Persian elements: for this reason, I decided to dedicate my PhD thesis to her analysis. This work has been divided into three parts: the first presents a study on the changing geography of regional borders from the sixth century B.C. until the creation of the Roman province, with a synchronic and diachronic perspective. The second describes the regional history. The third contains the fragments of the authors of Lykiaka, in other words the fragments of Greek historians, authors of monographic works on Lycia (Menecrates of Xanthos; Policarme; Léon of Alabanda; the fragments of the "Constitution of the Lycians"; Alexander Polyhistor; Capito of Lycia; Aristaenetus). The three parts of this work constantly interact and communicate each other: a complicated and composite work, but able to reproduce the complexity of a “ border” region.

Ce travail présente le soldat volontaire dans l’armée grecque durant la guerre gréco-turque de 1919 à 1923. À la lumière des sources primaires comme les archives militaires et diplomatiques, les archives du Premier ministre et du Haut commissaire grec à Smyrne, les témoignages des volontaires ainsi que d’autres archives de l’État grec, cette thèse présente l’homme ordinaire qui a décidé de se présenter volontairement sous les drapeaux durant la guerre en Asie mineure. Celle-ci vise à montrer cet homme dans tout son être multidimensionnel, ses motivations, sa vie sur le front et sa contribution durant les batailles, ses blessures et sa mort, sa « vie » en tant que prisonnier des Turcs, sa réintégration dans la société à la fin de la guerre et le fait que l’historiographie, la société et le monde politique l’ont oublié. / This thesis presents the volunteer soldier of the Greek army during the war between Greece and Turkey that lasted from 1919 until 1923. In the light of primary sources, such as the military and diplomatic archives; the archives of the Prime Minister and the Greek Supreme Commissioner in Smyrna; the memoirs of volunteer soldiers, as well as other archives of the Greek State; this thesis presents the ordinary man who decided to voluntarily join the Greek army during the war in Asia Minor. It aims to present this man through his motivations, his life at the war front and his contribution during the battle, through his wounds and his death, his “life” as a prisoner of the Turks and his reintegration within the society after the war. Finally, this thesis presents how the historiography, the society and the politicians forgot about this ‘soldier man’.

Les ambassades des cités d’Asie Mineure constituent un poste d’observation commode pour qui veut apprécier les évolutions politiques et institutionnelles qui travaillèrent les communautés grecques de l’irruption des légions en Orient à la fin du Haut-Empire. Cette enquête portant sur un temps long permet notamment de cerner les évolutions dans les raisons qui poussaient les cités à en référer aux autorités romaines. Si l’institution du principat constitua une rupture indéniable en personnalisant les relations entretenues par les communautés de l’Orient grec avec une Rome conçue jusque-là par elles comme une puissance collective, il n’en reste pas moins que plusieurs éléments de permanence prouvent que la mue des ambassades civiques d’actes éminemment diplomatiques en faits purement administratifs n’était pas totalement réalisée à la fin du IIe siècle apr. J.-C. Les pratiques ambassadoriales ont quant à elles fortement évolué, car elles étaient tributaires des mutations institutionnelles, diplomatiques mais aussi sociales du monde romain. Toutefois, on a pu entrevoir à travers plusieurs phénomènes de contournement par les communautés grecques des normes diplomatiques romaines l’aspiration persistante des entités civiques à manifester une forme de vie extérieure, et donc un semblant d’autonomie à l’égard de Rome. Malgré l’apparition, notamment au sein des élites civiques, d’un discours dépréciatif condamnant l’envoi intempestif de délégations, dépêcher pour de bonnes raisons une ambassade à Rome permettait de donner à voir, non plus la liberté absolue de l’entité émettrice, mais le dialogue qu’elle était capable d’instaurer avec les maître du monde antique. / Asia Minor cities embassies are a good vantage point to assess political and institutional evolutions that went through Greek communities from the arrival of legions in the East to the end of the Early Empire. This investigation focuses on a long time scale that allows us to see evolutions in the reasons why cities would refer to Roman authorities. Principate institution was a break away in the relationships between oriental Greek communities and Rome, that they considered until then as a joint power. However, many continuities show that civic missions haven't quite shifted from being diplomatic acts to purely administrative facts at the end of the 2nd century. Ambassadorial practices have evolved a lot, being linked to institutional, diplomatic and social mutations of the Roman world. However, the several workarounds of Roman diplomatic rules can be seen as a persistent will for Greek communities to express their autonomy towards Rome. Despite the outbreak, especially among civic elites, of critical views towards inopportune delegations, sending a mission to Rome for good reasons would allow to show, not the complete freedom of the sending entity, but the dialog that it was able to establish with the masters of the antique world.

S’interrogeant sur l’existence d’une culture matérielle propre à la Cappadoce, X. de Planhol soulevait déjà, dans les années 1980, la contradiction entre les résultats des études cappadociennes et les sources. De fait, archéologiquement et historiquement, la Cappadoce rupestre s’inscrit dans la continuité des autres provinces anatoliennes. Dépendant d’empires plus puissants, elle ne semble pas développer des traditions architecturales et culturelles propres, si ce n’est de posséder des monuments creusés dans la roche. A contrario à l’époque médiévale, certains auteurs arabes et byzantins reconnaissent aux Cappadociens un mode de vie troglodytique qui les individualise, de facto, de leurs voisins anatoliens. Ces assertions sont d’ailleurs confirmées par le développement de la pratique rupestre à l’époque byzantine dans la zone. Afin de comprendre ce décalage, deux approches ont été menées parallèlement. La première, historique, a pour objet d’étudier les représentations littéraires de la Cappadoce et des Cappadociens entre le Ve av. J.-C. et le Xe ap. J-C. La seconde approche, archéologique, a pour but de comprendre les processus de réalisation des monuments rupestres entre le IIIe siècle av. J.-C. et le Xe siècle ap. J.-C. À elles deux, elles mettent en lumière la lente construction culturelle qui, tant dans les sources que dans la praxis, aboutit à la fin du Xe siècle à l’existence d’un fait rupestre. / In the 1980s, questioning the existence of an own material cultures in Cappadocia, X. de Planhol already raised the contradictions between results of Cappadocian studies and sources. In fact, the current region of Cappadocia seems to be “provincial”. Dependent on more powerful Empires, this region doesn’t seem to develop its own architectural traditions and its own material cultures. It has just carved monuments. But in some medieval sources, Cappadocians are described like Troglodyte and de facto are distinguished from their Anatolian neighbors. To understand this shift, two methodological approaches were conducted. The first one is historical and has the purpose to study literary representations of Cappadocia and Cappadocians between the Vth century BC and the Xth century AD. The second approach is archaeological and should allow understanding process of making a carved monument between the IIIrd century BC and the Xth century AD. Both highlight the slow cultural construction that results in recognition of a “carving fact” in the Xth century AD.

Obiettivo del lavoro è lo studio sistematico di tre complessi monumentali della città di Hierapolis di Frigia (Pamukkale, Denizli, Turchia) caratterizzati dall'adozione dell'ordine dorico, ossia il portico del terrazzo inferiore del Santuario di Apollo, la Stoà di Marmo e le facciate della Via di Frontino. La ricerca, fondata sull'osservazione analitica dei blocchi architettonici, ha mirato a restituire, in prima istanza, l'immagine complessiva dei singoli edifici, con ricostruzioni grafiche delle planimetrie e dei prospetti, ma anche a comprendere la “vita” del monumento, ossia la sua destinazione d'uso ed il suo significato pratico ed ideologico all'interno dell'ambito cittadino. Ampio spazio è riservato inoltre allo studio degli aspetti tecnici e formali, che permettono di fare luce sull'attività delle botteghe locali coinvolte nella lavorazione del marmo e del travertino, con attenzione alle loro relazioni con gli altri centri dell'alta valle del Meandro. L'esame degli edifici ierapolitani si accompagna all'analisi dei modelli architettonici sviluppati nel corso dell'età ellenistica in Asia Minore, al fine di valutare correttamente il ruolo del contesto locale nell'elaborazione di nuovi tipi architettonici. L'inquadramento cronologico dei vari complessi, condotto tramite l'esame dei caratteri formali, dei dati epigrafici e stratigrafici, consente di ampliare la conoscenza della storia urbanistica della città di Hierapolis nel corso del I sec. d.C. / Purpose of the present work is the systematic analysis of three monuments of the ancient city of Hierapolis in Phrygia (Pamukkale, Denizli, Turkey), which are distinguished by the Doric order: the porticus of the lower terrace of the Apollo Sanctuary, the Marble Stoà and the façades of the Frontinus Street. The research is based on the analytic examination of the architectonical blocks and, in the first place, aims at gaining the ancient image of the buildings developing graphic reconstructions of their plans and fronts, but also wants to define the “life” of the monuments, their practical and ideological meaning in the urban context. Special attention is given to the study of the technical and morphological aspects, to understand the relationships of the local workshops with those of the other cities of the Meander valley. The analysis of the Doric buildings of Hierapolis goes together with the study of the architectural patterns developed during the Hellenistic age in Asia Minor, to achieve the correct view of the local context in the creation of new architectonical types. The chronological definition of the buildings, by means of the analysis of stylistic features, epigraphical and stratigraphical data, allows us to define with more details the urbanistic history of Hierapolis during the Ist century A.D.

This thesis investigates the formal aspects of the bath-gymnasium complex plan type which was developed in Asia Minor during the Roman era in relation to the development of the the imperial thermae in Rome, the capital city of the Roman Empire. Close resemblances in the architectural configuration of bath-gymnasium complexes and imperial thermae are analyzed in order to provide complementary insight concernin the evolution of Roman bath architecture and bathing tradition. The comparative investigation of the formal aspects of the plan types reveals the contribution of Asia Minor and its role in influencing the architectural developments in the capital. The thesis concentrates on the development of the bath-gymnasium complex plan type in Asia Minor and the imperial thermae in Rome in order to elucidate the outcomes of mutual influence in criss-crossing Greek and Italic features. Crucial to this investigation ,s the understanding of the multiple effects of historical processes such as Hellenization, Romanization and urbanization that were synthesized in the bath architecture of the capital and the provinces. Also, the symbolic, cosmological, and political aspects of Roman bath architecture are highlighted ,n this thesis.

This study provides an in depth analysis of three temples dedicated to emperors in Roman Asia (western Asia Minor): the Temple of Divine Rulers at Aphrodisias, the Temple of Divine Rulers at Ephesus and the Temple of Zeus Philios and Trajan at Pergamon. Focusing on each case study in a separate chapter, the project provides a brief introduction to each city's history and a detailed discussion of each temple's name, dating, patronage structure, architectural form, sculptural program, and the application techniques of sculptural and architectural details. The study proposes an understanding of these temples as key monuments of constantly changing dynamic urban landscapes rather than simple symbolic gestures towards the Roman emperors. Utilizing Kevin Lynch's terminology, the project suggests close links between each monument and the already existing urban elements of each individual city, further strengthening its overall urban image. These structures were essential to their urban contexts, and their meanings and functions were directly linked to the culture and history of each city. Finally, the project demonstrates that through their architectural designs and sculptural programs, each temple emphasized the perspectives of the local elite. The methodology of the project involves a careful study of the city plans, an analysis of context-specific local features and finally a consideration of multiple-viewer perceptions. This dissertation aims to provide an alternative model for later studies in Roman provincial art and architecture. / text

Avec la romanisation à grande échelle pendant le Haut-Empire, les Romains ont propagé leur culture dans tout le bassin méditerranéen. Les jeux de gladiateurs ont été en Asie Mineure un apport important à la société romaine instaurée en milieu grec. Les théâtres hellénistiques ont été modifiés pour accueillir ces nouveaux divertissements, typiquement romains. Il est question de tout ce qui entoure ces endroits et les gladiateurs grecs qui les ont massivement fréquentés pendant les trois premiers siècles de notre ère, également de ces combattants grecs à travers les spectacles, les festivals et le culte impérial. Quatre cités sont étudiées dans cette optique : Éphèse, Aphrodisias, Attaleia, Side. Nous pouvons ainsi analyser les développements de ce phénomène autant dans les grands que les petites villes. / With full scale Romanization during the early days of the Empire, the Romans propagated their culture all across the Mediterranean region. Gladiatorial games were in Asia Minor a significant feature of the Roman culture implanted amid the Greek population. The Hellenistic theaters were modified to accommodate this new Roman entertainment. This contribution is about all that surrounds these places and the Greek gladiators who fought in them during the first three centuries of our era ; it explores those Greek warriors in spectacle, festival and imperial cult. Four cities are studied : Ephesos, Aphrodisias, Attaleia and Side. The choice of these examples, it is hoped, will allow a better understanding of the development of this phenomenon in big urban centers as well as in smaller cities. / Entièrement réalisé grâce au programme LaTeX (http://www.latex-project.org/)
