Comment parlaient les hommes de l'Antiquité ? Que se racontaient-ils chaque jour ? Les écrits ont généralement disparu et l'on ignore bien souvent tout de leur intimité. Il existe cependant une exception : les papyrus de l'Egypte, miraculeusement sauvegardés grâce à l'aridité du désert. Il s'agit des plus anciens témoignages authentiques qui nous sont parvenus. Découverts il y a plus d'un siècle, les voici réunis pour la première fois dans une anthologie en français. Comment n'être pas fasciné : c'est un héritage direct du temps des pharaons qu'ils nous transmettent ! Entièrement traduits et présentés par Régis Burnet, ces extraordinaires papyrus révèlent une vie surprenante. Loin du ton parfois pompeux des œuvres littéraires, ils nous montrent des hommes de chair et de sang dans leurs préoccupations concrètes et les mille et uns secrets de leur existence quotidienne. Ainsi, mieux qu'à travers tous les récits et les reconstitutions, souvent sujets à caution, le naturel de leurs voix étrangement proches et vibrantes, comme si elles s'adressaient à nous, témoigne en direct et sans emphase de l'intemporalité de l'esprit humain.

The frontiers of the Roman empire together form the largest monument of one of the world's greatest states. They stretch for some 7,500km through 20 countries which encircle the Mediterranean Sea. The remains of these frontiers have been studied by visitors and later by archaeologists for several centuries. Many of the inscriptions and sculpture, weapons, pottery and artefacts created and used by the soldiers and civilians who lived on the frontier can be seen in museums. Equally evocative of the lost might of Rome are the physical remains of the frontiers themselves. The aim of this series of books is not only to inform the interested visitor about the history of the frontiers but to act as a guidebook as well. The Roman military remains of Egypt are remarkable in their variety and in their state of preservation. They deserve to be better known. They include forts, quarries under the authority of the army and whose materials were used in the monumental buildings of Rome, as well as the roads which crossed the desert landscape and brought the Mediterranean into contact with the Indian Ocean. It is hoped that each reader of this book will enjoy learning more about the remarkable Roman inheritance of Egypt. The full text is presented side-by-side dual-language in English and French --

Artefact evidence has the unique power to illuminate many aspects of life that are rarely explored in written sources, yet this potential has been underexploited in research on Roman and Late Antique Egypt. This book presents the first in-depth study that uses everyday artefacts as its principal source of evidence to transform our understanding of the society and culture of Egypt during these periods. It represents a fundamental reference work for scholars, with muchnew and essential information on a wide range of artefacts, many of which are found not only in Egypt but also in the wider Roman and late antique world. By taking a social archaeology approach, it sets out a new interpretation of daily life and aspects of social relations in Roman and Late Antique Egypt, contributing substantial insights into everyday practices and their social meanings in the past.Artefacts from University College London's Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology are the principal source of evidence; most of these objects have not been the subject of any previous research. The book integrates the close study of artefact features with other sources of evidence, including papyri and visual material. Part one explores the social functions of dress objects, while part two explores the domestic realm and everyday experience. An important theme is the life course, and how bothdress-related artefacts and ordinary functional objects construct age and gender-related status and facilitate appropriate social relations and activities. There is also a particular focus on wider social experience in the domestic context, as well as broader consideration of economic and socialchanges across the period.
