When he exercised that discretion, the different ranks of the elite not only came to envy each other, they were also all reminded of the emperor's superior power.

This thesis examines the evidence surrounding the Roman emperor Justinian’s wars in western Europe (Italy and Spain) and North Africa. It argues that without Procopius’ narrative, we would be left with a very bland, cursory account and even find it difficult to get a full grip on what happened when, even though Jordanes in particular does give some sort of narrative. The thesis focuses on the narrative of Justinian’s western wars offered by sources like Jordanes’, Romana and Getica, Victor of Tonnuna’s Chronicle, Corippus’ epic poem and Marcellinus comes’ Chronicle and its addition. It also discusses when each of these sources was written and where, and the background of the author, so that the reader can identify what was important to the author and the potential biases in the presentation of the events in question. The thesis then compares the narrative of the above sources to the narrative of Procopius in order to determine what information historians and scholars would not have if they did not have Procopius’ work.

Dans ce travail de thèse nous avons mené une recherche ciblée sur les fortifications de Cyrrhus. La problématique générale de cette recherche est d'identifier et de dater les différentes phases d'occupation, mais aussi de restituer le tracé de chaque phase de construction et d'analyser son évolution en fonction de la topographie. À partir des résultats obtenus sur le terrain, nous avons poursuivi certaines problématiques : tout d'abord, réexaminer la fondation des fortifications en appareil polygonal, c'est-à-dire les premières fortifications de la ville ; ensuite lier cette fondation à celle de la ville pour savoir si les deux sont contemporaines ou s'il y a eu deux phases successives dans le développement de la première occupation. Pour appuyer certaines hypothèses de datation de ces fortifications d'origine, notre étude s'est concentrée sur les caractéristiques et les concepts de la construction des fortifications d'origine, sur leur implantation topographique, leurs différentes composantes et, finalement, sur leurs matériaux et leurs techniques de construction, afin de savoir si elles ont été fondées selon une tradition connue dans d'autres fondations hellénistiques. Par la suite nous avons tenté d'apporter plus de données sur l'occupation de ces fortifications d'origine pendant les périodes romaine et byzantine, surtout la reconstruction de l'enceinte par Justinien au VIe siècle. / In this thesis we conducted a targeted search on the fortifications of Cyrrhus. The general problem of this research is to identify and date the different phases of occupation, but also to restore the layout of each construction phase and analyze its evolution according to the topography. From the results obtained in the field, we continued some issues: First, review the foundation of polygonal masonry fortifications, that is to say the first fortifications of the city; then link to that this foundation of the city to see if the two are contemporary or there were two phases in the development of the first occupation. To support some dating assumptions of these original I fortifications, our study focused on the characteristics and concepts of the construction of these original fortifications, their topographic location, their different components and, ultimately, their materials and their construction techniques, to see if they were founded on a tradition known in other Hellenistic foundations. Afterwards we tried to bring more data on the occupation of the original fortifications during the Roman and Byzantine periods, throughout their reconstruction by Justinian in the sixth century.
