What significations did Egypt have for the Romans a century after Actium and afterwards? How did Greek imperial authors respond to the Roman fascination with the Nile? This book explores Egypt's aftermath beyond the hostility of Augustan rhetoric, and Greek and Roman topoi of Egyptian "barbarism." Set against history and material culture, Julio-Claudian, Flavian, Antonine, and Severan authors reveal a multivalent Egypt that defines Rome's increasingly diffuse identity while remaining a tertium quid between Roman Selfhood and foreign Otherness. Vespasian's Alexandrian uprising, his recognition of Egypt as his power basis, and his patronage of Isis re-conceptualize Egypt past the ideology of Augustan conquest. The imperialistic exhilaration and moral angst attending Rome's Flavian cosmopolitanism find an expressive means in the geographically and semantically nebulous Nile. The rapprochement with Egypt continues in the second and early third centuries. The "Hellenic" Antonines and the African-Syrian Severans expand perceptions of geography and identity within an increasingly decentralized and diverse empire. In the political and cultural discourses of this period, the capacious symbolics of Egypt validate the empire's religious and ethnic pluralism.

Empereur épris de philosophie et païen militant, Julien (331-363) est l’auteur d’une œuvre abondante et variée, aussi passionnante que son existence romanesque. Il était tentant de suivre les traces de ses écrits (lettres, discours, lois, spéculations philosophiques ou théologiques, ouvrages polémiques, confidences autobiographiques) chez les lettrés de la fin de l’Antiquité. Qu’ils soient philosophes, historiens, rhéteurs, qu’ils soient païens ou chrétiens, ils furent nombreux à faire appel à des formules, des concepts et des textes de Julien. On croisera donc ici non seulement les grands écrivains de l’époque (Libanios, Ammien Marcellin, Grégoire de Nazianze, Jean Chrysostome) mais aussi des auteurs moins connus (Saloustios, Sozomène, Philostorge, et bien d’autres). Tous ont fait preuve d’une remarquable inventivité littéraire, mêlant ironie, citations détournées, subtil double langage. C’est cette scène intellectuelle dominée par la dernière grande polémique entre christianisme et paganisme - un véritable « choc des cultures » - que reconstitue cette étude philologique qui apporte un éclairage nouveau sur l’histoire de l’Antiquité tardive.
