Nous nous intéressons à l’évolution des rapports économiques entre la Rome républicaine et l’Égypte lagide et notamment à la commercialisation du blé égyptien au bénéfice de Rome. L’étude diachronique des échanges économiques entre les deux pays nous mène à nous confronter avec l’évolution de leurs rapports politiques réciproques. Nous poursuivons notre enquête pour le premier siècle d’Empire Romain. Nous nous attarderons sur l’étude de la gestion du blé égyptien au sein du système annonaire, sans pour autant négliger les acteurs « privés » du commerce du blé sous les Empereurs julio-claudiens. Nous articulerons notre recherche autour des trois axes principaux: les institutions, les acteurs et les structures du commerce du blé. / We will study the history of economic relationships between Roman Republic and Ptolemaic Egypt, focusing on Egyptian grain trade in western Mediterranean basin, especially in Rome and Puteoli. Our diachronic approach about economical exchanges between these two countries will retain attention on their reciprocal political relationships. We will continue our research during the first century of Roman Empire. We will interest to Egyptian grain administration by the annona and the imperial supply structures. We will bring interest also on private grain trade under Julio-Claudians emperors. We will develop our research on three fundamental items: the institutions, the actors and the structures of the grain trade.

A proposta deste trabalho é estudar as moedas da Cirenaica emitidas entre o início do domínio de Ptolomeu I na região e a morte do último governante independente, Magas, em 258 a.C. O nosso objetivo é analisar, a partir dos tipos monetários, qual a expressão política das facções existentes nas cidades da Cirenaica e qual o posicionamento desses grupos em relação ao controle lagida. Lançando mão da comparação entre os tipos monetários, do uso de determinadas inscrições associadas aos tipos e aos principais acontecimentos políticos e da adoção sucessiva de diversos padrões monetários pelas cidades, discutiremos como foi construído o discurso político da autoridade emissora dessas cidades como resposta aos principais acontecimentos desses anos. / The purpose of this research is study the Cyrenaicas coins issued between the beginning of the Ptolemys control in the region and the death of the last independent government, Magas, in 258 a.C. Our goal is analyse, from the monetary types, the political expression of the citys factions and what the position of these groups about a lagids control. Through the comparision between the types, the use of some inscriptions associated to the types and to the main political events and the successive adoption of various monetary standards by the cities, we will discuss how was built the political message of the issuing authority as an answer to the main events of these years.

Outrossim, o presente trabalho visa desenvolver metodologias e grades de análises de modo a demonstrar o sentido da pesquisa. As fontes de caráter iconográfico e arquitetônico utilizadas em boa parte fazem parte do acervo fotográfico do autor. / Abstract: The intention of his thesis is to understand the Ptolemaic dynasty processes which allowed to establish his legitimacy almost three centuries based on politic-religious project that the main focus is the adoption of Egyptian magic-religious practices and the adoption of Egyptian divine monarch that the materiality expression is the architecture and iconography used in titles, decrees and other forms and especially developed by building program of temples in Upper Egypt, mainly after the end of Theban Rebellion, with an intention to establish power relation, cooperation and cooptation of social segments consolidating dynastic legitimacy. On the other hand this paper intend to developer methodologies and analyses grade to confirm this research. The architectural and iconographic resources were being used belong to author particular acquis. / Doutorado / Historia Cultural / Doutor em História

This thesis investigates if there is any age segmentation among child burials. This is done through a spatial analysis, to better understand children in a mortuary space. The two cemeteries that will be investigated are the Wall of the Crow in Late Period Giza and the so-called Upper Necropolis in Saqqara during the Ptolemaic Period. The study includes 83 child burials from Saqqara and 73 child burials from Giza, of newborns to children of 14 years of age. This is achieved by deconstructing the data available to clarify the bond that exists and/or does not exist between the burials. In addition, child mortality and burial customs will be discussed to better understand burial rates in comparison to mortality rates. Finally, to understand properly the cemetery space, and children as a sub-set in it, the wider constructed landscapes are considered. The outcome of this thesis was that no cemetery had any age segmentation. / Den här uppsatsen utforskar om det finns någon ålderssegmentering bland barngravar. Detta utförs genom en rumslig analys för att bättre förstå barn i begravningsutrymmet. De två begravningsplatserna som undersöks är Wall of the Crow under Sentiden i Giza och den så kallade Övre Nekropolen i Saqqara, daterad till Ptolemeiska Riket. Studien inkluderar 83 barngravar från Saqqara och 73 barngravar från Giza, från nyfödda till 14 års ålder. Detta uppnås av att rekonstruera den tillgängliga data för att klargöra bandet som finns/inte finns mellan gravarna. Dessutom kommer barnadödlighet och begravningsseder diskuteras för att bättre förstå gravarna i jämförelse med dödlighet. Slutligen, för att förstå begravningsutrymmet bättre och barnen som en del av det, kommer de bredare konstruerade landskapen beaktas. Resultatet av uppsatsen var att ingen av begravningsplatserna hade någon ålderssegmentering.

This paper deals with the chemical identification of artefacts correlated with the process of ancient Egyptian mummification dating to the Graeco-Roman period. The samples were harvested from two artefacts belonging to the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm. The original description of the said samples defined them, as natron filled linen bags and bee product (honey?). To identify the true nature of the samples, advanced methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and powder X-ray Diffractometry were used. The results were correlated with previous made analyses regarding embalming materials to discover similarities. Furthermore, the research revealed that the previous sample identifications were false, while providing hypotheses based on the new results.

This thesis presents a new approach to the royal female portrait in the Hellenistic world. Until now, it has been studied for its feminine or royal characteristics. There is, therefore, no complete definition because of the division of information. An intersectional approach fills this gap by bringing together the two constituent characteristics of these portraits. Moreover, this research enriches the field of study concerning Hellenistic queens because the iconographic aspect remains mostly absent given the scattering of sources and the need for archaeological studies on this type of sculpture. This dissertation will study the sculptural portraits of five Hellenistic queens: Eurydice of Macedonia, Apollonis of Cyzic, Arsinoe II Philadelphus, Laodike III, and Cleopatra VII Philopator. These statues are of different materials, dimensions, and regional styles. This work focuses mainly on the Macedonian, Lagid, Seleukid, and Attalid kingdoms because they have enough sources to conduct a study. The contact with the Egyptian world led to an interaction between the Greek and Pharaonic cultures that will be included in this research. This research is based on three objectives. The first is to intersectionally define the royal female carved portrait using the erection decrees and scientific literature. Inspired by existing catalogs, the second objective is to group the portraits of the five queens in their own catalog, with a classification appropriate to their characteristics. The last is to create a chronological framework through a stylistic and contextual analysis of her portraits. / Ce mémoire présente une nouvelle approche concernant le portrait royal féminin sculpté dans le monde hellénistique. En effet, celui-ci n’a jusqu’à maintenant été étudié que pour ses caractéristiques féminines ou royales séparément. Il n’y a donc pas de définition complète vu la division des informations. Une approche intersectionnelle vient pallier ce manque en regroupant les deux caractéristiques constituantes de ces portraits. De plus, cette recherche vient enrichir le domaine d’études concernant les reines hellénistiques puisque l’aspect iconographique est trop souvent absent, vu l’éparpillement des sources et le manque d’études intersectionnelles archéologiques à ce sujet. Dans ce mémoire seront donc étudiés les portraits en sculpture de cinq reines hellénistiques: Eurydice de Macédoine, Apollonis de Cyzique, Arsinoé II Philadelphe, Laodicé III et Cléopâtre VII Philopator. Ces statues varient grandement en matériau, dimension, de plus qu’en style régional. L’étude se concentre principalement sur les royaumes macédoniens, lagides, attalides et séleucides. Ils sont ceux ayant assez de sources pour conduire une étude. Le contact avec le monde égyptien entraîne une interaction entre la culture grecque et pharaonique qui sera définitivement incluse dans cette recherche. Cette recherche repose sur trois objectifs. Le premier est de définir intersectionnellement le portrait royal féminin sculpté en utilisant les décrets d’érections et la littérature scientifique. En s'inspirant de catalogues déjà existants, le deuxième objectif est de regrouper les portraits des cinq reines dans leur propre catalogue avec une classification appropriée à leurs caractéristiques. Le dernier est de créer un cadre chronologique par une analyse stylistique et contextuelle de ces portraits.

The port site of Berenike Troglodytica - located on the Egyptian Red Sea coast - served the spice and incense routes that linked the Mediterranean World (specifically the Roman Empire) to India, Southern Arabia and East Africa. In the Greco-Roman period the site was at the cutting edge of what was then the embryonic global economy, ideally situated as a key node connecting Indian Ocean and Mediterranean trade for almost 800 years. It is now located in an arid, marginal, hostile environment but the situation must have been very different 2300 years ago, at the time of its founding. At the time of elephant-hunting trips during the Hellenistic period before the inception of its important role in the global markets of the day in the Roman period Berenike would have to have looked much different to what we can now imagine. What was it like then, when the first prospectors visited this location at the time of Ptolemy II? Why this particular place, and this particular landscape setting seemed such a propitious location for the siting of an important new harbour? Given the importance of the port over almost a millennium it is perhaps surprising that very little is known about the different factors impacting on the foundation, evolution, heyday and subsequent decline of the city; or the size, shape, and capacity of its harbour. The intention of this research is to address this shortfall in our knowledge, to examine the drivers behind the rise and fall of this port city, and to explore the extent to which the dynamics of the physical landscape were integral to this story. Using an innovative Earth Science approach, changes in the archaeological 'coastscape' have been reconstructed and correlated with periods of occupation and abandonment of the port, shedding light on the nature, degree and directionality of human-environment interactions at the site. This work has revealed profound changes in the configuration of the coastal landscape and environment (including the sea level) during the lifespan of Berenike, highlighting the ability of people to exploit changes in their immediate environment, and demonstrating that, ultimately, the decline of the port was partly due to these landscape dynamics. To further explore these themes the landscape reconstructions have been supplemented by semi-quantitative analyses of a suite of variables likely to influence the initial siting of new ports of trade. These have shown that although the site of Berenike was ideal in terms of its coastal landscape potential, possessing a natural sheltered bay and lagoon system, the choice of location was not solely influenced by its environmental conditions. Additionally, a detailed review of vessels that plied Red Sea and Indian Ocean routes is presented here in order to better understand the design and functioning of Berenike's harbour. This serves the purpose of identifying unifying features that provide more detail about the size and draught of vessels and the potential capacity of the harbour basin. By using this multi-scalar approach it has been possible to reconstruct the 'coastscape' of the site through the key periods of its occupancy and those phases immediately before and after its operation. This has wide-ranging implications for researchers studying ancient ports along this trade network as a larger database will tease out more details about how influential the landscape was in the initial siting of the port and its subsequent use and decline.

Mon inscription en thèse sur travaux est l’aboutissement et la reconnaissance d’un parcours de céramologue en Égypte dans le cadre de l’Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire (Ifao). Un grand nombre d’opérations archéologiques sur tout le territoire égyptien nourrissent mes recherches, et m’ont logiquement conduite à développer la question des groupes céramiques régionaux, à les comparer et à en suivre les évolutions du Néolithique à l’époque arabe.La première partie de la synthèse établit un inventaire archéologique des centres de production de céramiques publiés en Égypte, de l’époque prédynastique à l’époque moderne. La seconde partie est consacrée aux groupes céramiques régionaux égyptiens. Une démarche linéaire et diachronique a été choisie pour la réalisation d’un parcours général des groupes céramiques régionaux en Égypte du VIIe millénaire à la fin de l’époque ottomane. Elle tente d’en décrire de façon dynamique les grandes lignes de rupture ou de continuité. Afin d’illustrer la richesse et l’intérêt de ce point de vue pour l’étude des céramiques égyptiennes, nous proposons deux études de cas qui sont situées aux antipodes l’une de l’autre tant sur les plans chronologiques et géographiques que culturels. En effet, chacune se réfère à des problématiques historiques, culturelles et techniques très différentes. L’une concerne la céramique funéraire datée de la fin de l’Ancien Empire à Bahariya ; l’autre étude se concentre sur la céramique égyptienne domestique du début de l’époque ptolémaïque, autour du IIIe siècle av. J.-C. / My registration to a thesis based on work experience is the outcome and recognition of a ceramologist career in Egypt within the framework of the Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire (Ifao). A large number of archaeological operations throughout Egypt feed my research and they have logically led me to enlarge the issue of regional pottery groups, to compare and to monitor them and to follow their developments from the Neolithic Period to the Islamic Period. The first part of the synthesis provides an archaeological inventory of pottery production centres published in Egypt, from the Predynastic Period to the Modern Era. The second part is devoted to the Egyptian regional pottery groups. A linear and diachronic approach was chosen for the implementation of a general course of regional pottery groups in Egypt from the seventh millennium to the end of the Ottoman Period, attempting to dynamically outline the ruptures or continuities. To illustrate the richness and relevance of this perspective for the study of Egyptian potteries, we propose two case studies that are to the opposite of each other, at a chronological and geographical level as well as at a cultural level. Indeed, each refers to very different historical, cultural and technical issues. One concerns the funerary pottery dated of the end of the Old Kingdom in Bahariya; the other study focuses on Egyptian domestic pottery at the beginning of the Ptolemaic Period, dated around the third century BC.

Au début de l’époque ptolémaïque, la Thébaïde constitue un ensemble original tant géographiquement que structurellement :elle s’étend de Syène à Lykopolis et est administrée comme un nome depuis Thèbes qui est sa métropole, avec un stratège et un nomarque (thébarque) établis à sa tête. Le règne des Lagides est marqué par une normalisation de cette administration, qui s’effectue au rythme des troubles politiques (sécession de 206-186, guerre civile de 132-124, révolte thébaine de 88-85) ;au Ier siècle et suite à des évolutions successives, le nome canonique est redevenu l’unité territoriale de base de l’administration thébaïque. Cette restructuration ne peut être comprise qu’au regard de l’histoire de la région dans les derniers siècles de l’époque pharaonique :les Lagides ont hérité d’une désorganisation née de la Troisième Période intermédiaire et de la Basse Époque, au cours desquelles les temples ont occupé une place prépondérante dans le gouvernement méridional, se substituant souvent à un pouvoir central défaillant. Les souverains grecs se sont appuyés sur ces institutions religieuses pour installer leur administration en Thébaïde, suivant en cela la tradition égyptienne ;les constructions religieuses, nombreuses dans le sud, sont à mettre en parallèle à cet effort d’ « administralisation »./At the beginning of the Ptolemaic period, the Thebaid is an original set both geographically and structurally :it stretches from Aswan to Lykopolis and is administered as a nomos from Thebes which is his metropolis, headed by a strategos and a nomarch (thebarch). The reign of the Ptolemies is characterized by a normalization of this administration, which fluctuated with the political unrest (secession of 206-186, civil war of 132-124, Theban revolt in 88-85) :in the 1st Century BC and after successive developments, the canonical nomos is again the basic territorial unit of the southern administration. This restructuring can be understood only in the light of the history of the region in the last centuries of the Pharaonic era :the Ptolemies had inherited a disruption created by the Third Intermediate Period and the Late Period, during which temples have occupied a prominent place in the southern government, often replacing a failing central power. The Greek rulers have relied on these religious institutions to set up their administration in the Thebaid, in line with Egyptian tradition ;religious buildings, many in the South, are set parallel to this effort of “administralization”. / Doctorat en Langues et lettres / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
