Cette nouvelle étude des monuments funéraires de Gaule romaine a pour but de mettre en évidence les différents procédés employés par les populations antiques pour perpétuer la mémoire de leurs morts. Que ce soit à travers l’image sculptée ou par le texte, le rappel du nom, de l’identité du défunt et des éléments propres à son quotidien étaient autant de moyens adoptés afin de garder vivace son souvenir dans le monde des vivants. L’espace géographique choisi est circonscrit à trois cités antiques, celles des Éduens, des Lingons et des Séquanes. Proches géographiquement et culturellement, ces territoires présentent en effet durant l’Antiquité des traditions funéraires similaires. Quant au cadre chronologique, il est restreint au Haut-Empire, soit du Ier au IIIe siècle ap. J.-C. À travers une analyse épigraphique et iconographique des monuments en pierre est posée la question des choix sépulcraux faits par les commanditaires. En effet, les modes de représentation divergent selon différents critères et modifient donc considérablement l'aspect et la forme des tombeaux. Ces derniers dénotent-ils des pratiques spécifiques à une cité ou à un groupe social ? De la même manière, les formulaires épigraphiques se trouvent adaptés aux informations que le commanditaire souhaite transmettre.Par des comparaisons typologiques, stylistiques et textuelles avec des monuments issus des territoires de Gaule et d’Italie, ce travail cherche à analyser les pratiques commémoratives spécifiques à des populations indigènes romanisées du Nord-est de la Gaule.À travers l’étude d’un corpus provincial, cette thèse vient ainsi compléter les différentes recherches portant sur l’art sépulcral romain. / This new study of funerary monuments in Roman Gaul aims at putting emphasis on the various tools used by the ancient populations to perpetuate the memories of their dead. Thanks to carved images or texts, the mention of the name, of the identity of the deceased and of specific aspects of his everyday life were some of the means used to keep his memory alive in the world of the living. The geographical area chosen corresponds to three ancient territories : thoose of the Aeduens, the Lingons and the Sequans. Geographically and culturally close, these territories show indeed the same funeral traditions in ancient times. As for the chronological frame, it is limited to the Early Roman Empire, from the 1st to the 3rd centuries. Thanks to an epigraphic and iconographic analysis of the stone monuments, the question of the funeral choices made by the person who commisioned the tom bis raised. Indeed, the ways of evocation diverge according to different criteria, thus implying significant changes in the aspect and the shape of graves. Do the latter denote practices specific to a city or a social group ? In the same way, the epigraphic applications are suitable to the information that the dead wishes to convey.The typological, stylistic and textual comparisons made with orther monuments from Gaul and Italy enable to analyse the particular commemorative practices of indigenous romanised populations from north-eastern Gaul.Through the study of a provincial corpus, this thesis completes the various researches dealing with Roman funeral art.

Presented theses deals with the phenomenon of death in the second half of 19th century on the example of the area around the Cheb town. The source base is made up by information of Christian registers of deaths, by prescriptive regulations and tangible evidences. As a main methodological basis the Historical Demography was chosen,but the other approaches were used as a Historical Anthropology and Art History. The most important emphasis was oriented on getting results from statistical research. The index of death issues was researched from several circumstances. Not only the data of approximate Life expectancy, infant mortality and seasonal movement was reached but also the analysis of the causes of death was made. The attention was oriented on infectious diseases too. The question of spread of epidemics is given into the wider context in the subsequent chapter, which is devoted to influence to prevent the gradual lengthening of life expectancy. The attention was devoted to the analysis of preserved tombstones from the 2nd half of 19th century on the base of fieldwork. The artifacts were assessed from the point of view of artistic representation. The epitaphs were recorded too for the identification of specific persons. The end of this topic was the thought of vandalism of modern time and the importance of preservation of the testimonial of funeral culture. The main aim of presented theses is to find out, what were the mortality situations at the monitored period but also the changes of funeral rite influenced by emancipation of bourgeois society. The connection with early modern period tradition of colossal noble funeral ceremony was pointed out. The complexity was amplified by the analysis of the term ?the Death? presented on the pages of Glossaries from that time and by the excursion into the folk?s habits connected with the end of life journey of rural population. For obtaining the complete view, there was necessary to work not only with results of statistics, but also to consider the interdisciplinary approach.
