Les recherches numismatiques systématiques en Albanie ont commencé dans les 1950. L’étude des monnaies de Dyrrachion, la principale cité de la côte orientale de la mer Adriatique pendant l’antiquité (sous l’actuelle ville de Durrës en Albanie centrale), apporte une nouvelle contribution à la numismatique albanaise en dressant le premier corpus monétaire complet établi pour une cité de ce territoire. La période couverte s’étend sur environ trois siècles (IVe av. J -C. Ier av.). Cette étude analyse tout le monnayage d’argent de la ville, qui se répartit en trois séries successives (statères à types corinthiens, à types corcyréens, drachmes à la vache allaitant), comportant sept dénominations différentes. Le catalogue est une étude par coins de 3085 monnaies, provenant des principaux Cabinets Numismatiques du monde et de nombreuses publications. L’étude de la circulation de ces différents numéraires a permis de reconstituer les contacts et le commerce de la cité avec l’étranger et de faire des remarques sur l’économie. En conclusion, l’étude des monnaies a permis de revoir à la lumière des données numismatiques les événements les plus importants qui ont marqué la cité depuis sa fondation. / The systematic numismatic studies in Albania started around 1950. The study of the ancient coins of Dyrrhachium, an important city in the Oriental coast of the Adriatic Sea (the modern town of Durrës in central Albania is located above the ancient site), brings an important contribution to the Albanian numismatic. It also constitutes the first complete monetary corpus of the ancient cities located in the Albanian territory. This study focuses on the silver coinage minted by the city for about three centuries. Three different series have been identified (the staters of Corinthian type, the staters of corcyrean type and the drachmas of cow suckling calf type), including seven denominations. The catalogue is based on a die link study of 3085 coins coming from the most important Coin Cabinets in the world as well as from numerous publications. The study of the circulation of the coins has permitted to make some assumptions about the contacts and exchanges of the city with the foreign world as well as about its economy. Finally, the study of the coins allowed reviewing the important events of the city’s history, from its foundation till the middle of the 1st century B.C., in the prospect of the numismatic data.

Cette thèse de doctorat a pour objectif l'étude des objets en bronze, vaisselle et figurines, trouvés sur le territoire albanais et datant de la période archaïque jusqu'à la fin de la période romaine. En effet, cette catégorie d’objets n’a jamais fais l’objet d’une étude spécifique d’ensemble et la plupart d’entre eux sont encore inédits. Cette thèse propose donc pour la première fois un catalogue exhaustif qui prend en compte la technologie, la typologie, la chronologie, les ateliers et la répartition géographique de chaque type d’objet, replacé dans son contexte archéologique et historique grâce à un corpus des sites d’où proviennent ces objets. Les chapitres de synthèses, fondés sur les données du catalogue et du corpus, enrichissent notre compréhension sur les croyances et les habitudes des populations qui utilisaient ces objets, sur les rapports commerciaux qu’ils entretenaient avec les autres centres du monde antique, et sur le développement d’un artisanat spécialisé dans le travail du bronze, et cela dans une perspective historique qui accorde toute son attention aux évolutions. / The principal objective of this thesis is the study of bronze objects, more specially figurines and vases, found in Albania, dating from the archaic period to the end of the roman period. These category of objects have never been subject of a specific study, and the majority of the objects have never been published. This thesis has proposed for the first time a complete study, in the form of a corpus of objects which comprises all the figurines and vases of bronze, found in Albania; which is based in the technology, typology, chronology and geographic distribution of each type of object. The objects are placed in their cultural context through the establishment of a corpus of sites where the objects were found. The synthesis which has analyzed the information of the two corpuses has also enriched our information for the populations by whom were utilized, their habitudes and believes, the merchandise with the other centers of the antique world, and the development of the bronze artisanat, all these issues based in an historic perspective which emphasizes attention in the evolution.

Colonie grecque, Apollonia d’Illyrie (Albanie), a connu à l’époque romaine des phases de construction et d’aménagement importantes. En témoigne le centre monumental qui a fait l’objet de fouilles et de dégagements sous la direction du français Léon Rey au début du XXe siècle. Après la seconde guerre mondiale, les équipes albanaises ont poursuivi les recherches archéologiques et ont réalisé les restaurations et les présentations actuelles. Le centre monumental est organisé autour de deux édifices principaux, l’odéon et le monument des agonothètes. Ces lieux d’assemblée attestent du caractère public de ce secteur de la ville comme le fait un arc de triomphe légèrement postérieur. Des boutiques témoignent d’une fonction commerciale annexe. L’aspect religieux est illustré par un temple ionique, entouré d’un portique, associé à un bâtiment nommé usuellement "prytanée", et par un petit sanctuaire. Enfin, un édifice de plan carré peut être soit une bibliothèque soit un Augusteum. Après l’analyse des vestiges accessibles et de la documentation, une approche des fonctions des différents monuments et les renvois aux éléments comparatifs des hypothèses de restitutions sont proposées puis transposées en images de synthèse. Elles sont ensuite assemblées en une vision globale du centre monumental romain, dans son état du début du IIIe siècle ap. J.-C. Dans l’attente de l’achèvement des recherches sur l’agora, localisée à quelques centaines de mètres, cet ensemble pourrait être un complexe architectural dédié au culte impérial dont l’importance aurait attiré, dans le courant du IIe siècle, le bouleuterion que prudemment on désigne encore comme "monument des agonothètes". / During the Roman period, “Apollonia of Illyria”, a greek settlement in Albania, knew several phases of construction and development. This is demonstrated by the study of the monumental center which was the object of excavations supervised by a French archaeologist Léon Rey at the beginning of the XXth century. After World War II, Albanian teams pursued the researches. They realized the restorations and the current presentations. The monumental center is organized around two main buildings, the Odeon and the “monument of Agonothetes”. These meeting places give evidence of the public character of this part of the city, just like the existence of a triumphal arch built later on. Shops also prove the commercial function of this place. Then, the religious function is illustrated by an ionic temple surrounded by a portico associated with a building named “prytaneum’ and by a small sanctuary. Finally, a square building is either a library or an “augusteum”. After an analysis of the visible vestiges and documentation, a report on the functions of the various monuments and a presentation of the comparative elements, the hypothesis of reconstructions will be proposed and transposed into computer-generated images. They will be assembled in a global vision of the roman monumental center at the beginning of the third century. Researches concerning the agora, localized a few hundred meters further, are not achieved yet but this place could be an architectural complex dedicated to imperial cult. During the second century, its importance could have attracted the bouleuterion that remains, for the moment, named as “monument of Agonothetes”. / Kolonia greke e Apolonisë së Ilirisë, në Shqipëri, ka njohur faza të rëndësishme ndërtimi dhe riorganizimi urban në periudhën romake. Këtë e dëshmon qendra monumentale që ka qenë pikësynimi i gërmimeve dhe zbulimeve të kryera nën drejtimin e francezit Leon Rei, në fillim të shekullit të XX. Pas Luftës së II Botërore, ekipet shqiptare kanë vazhduar nxjerrjen në dritë të saj, si dhe kanë realizuar restaurimet dhe pamjet që shohim sot. Qendra monumentale është organizuar rreth dy godinave kryesore, odeoni dhe monumenti i Agonotetëve. Këto vende mbledhjesh dëshmojnë për karakterin publik të kësaj zone të qytetit, ashtu si dhe një hark triumfi pak më i vonshëm. Dyqanet dëshmojnë për një funksion tregtar aneks. Aspekti religjioz ilustrohet me praninë e një tempulli jonik, të rrethuar me një portik, dhe që lidhet me një godinë të ashtuquajtur prytaneum, si dhe me një faltore e vogël. Së fundmi, një ndërtesë në formë katrore mund të jetë ndoshta një bibliotekë apo augusteum. Në përfundim të studimit të rrënojave të dukshme dhe të dokumentacionit përkatës, parashtrohet trajtimi i funksioneve të monumenteve të ndryshme dhe i elementeve krahasuese të rimëkëmbjes hipotetike të tyre, që më tej transformohen në paraqitjet e informatizuara. Më pas, të gjithë elementët janë bashkuar në një pamje gjithëpërfshirëse të qendrës monumentale romake, ashtu siç paraqitej ajo në fillimin e shek. III të e. sonë. Në pritje të përfundimit të kërkimeve në agora, e cila gjendet vetëm disa qindra metra larg, ky ansambël duket të ketë qenë një kompleks arkitekturor që i kushtohej kultit perandorak, rëndësia e të cilit do të tërhiqte përgjatë shek. II të e. sonë buleterionin, që ende në mënyrë të kujdesshme emërtohet si “monumenti i Agonotetëve”.
