This book offers a comprehensive assessment of the intersection between Roman politics, culture and divination in the late Republic. It discusses how the practice of divination changed at a time of great political and social change and explores the evidence for a critical reflection and debate on the limits of divination and prediction in the second and first centuries BC. Divination was a central feature in the workings of the Roman government and this book explores the ways in which it changed under the pressure of factors of socio-political complexity and disruption. It discusses the ways in which the problem of the prediction of the future is constructed in the literature of the period. Finally, it explores the impact that the emergence of the Augustan regime had on the place of divination in Rome and the role that divinatory themes had in shaping the ideology of the new regime.

Nous connaissons les noms des dieux de Rome, nous visitons les ruines des temples, nous sommes de plus en plus fascinés par la mythologie païenne. Pourtant, nous avons du mal à définir ce qu'était la religion des Romains. Il est vrai que le mot latin religio est généralement traduit en italien par "religion" : mais peut-on vraiment parler de "religion" dans la Rome antique ? Quelle était l'origine des dieux ? Pour quelles raisons, avec quelles intentions, et de quelles manières ont-elles été abordées ? Cela a-t-il un sens de parler de "foi" dans le contexte d'une religion polythéiste ? Encore une fois : quel impact la conquête romaine de la Méditerranée a-t-elle eu sur les cultes des communautés vaincues ? Pourquoi Rome n'a-t-elle pas tenté d'imposer systématiquement ses propres rites dans son immense empire ? Et la progression du christianisme s'explique-t-elle vraiment par l'éclipse d'une religion "païenne" moribonde ? Une exploration passionnante nous mènera de Rome aux confins de l'empire, de l'Euphrate au mur d'Hadrien, des splendides cités d'Afrique du Nord aux grands sanctuaires de la Gaule transalpine, dans un voyage à la découverte d'un des aspects les moins connus du monde romain, capable de nous révéler un univers inconnu.

This volume gathers twelve studies on key aspects of the history of Rome and its empire between the end of the Hannibalic War (200 BCE) and the election of Tiberius Gracchus to the tribunate (134 BCE). Through this periodization, which places the focus on what intervened between two major and well-studied historical turning points in Republican history, the book aims to bring new light to the interplay between imperial expansion, political volatility, and intellectual developments, and on the various levels on which historical change unfolded.The lack of a continuous ancient narrative for this period, even late or derivative, has shaped much of the historiographical discourse about it. This volume seeks to convey a new sense of the depth of the period and establishes new connections among aspects of human agency and action that are usually considered in isolation from one another. It puts in fruitful dialogue contribution on a range of topics as diverse as climate change, oratory, agrarian laws, urban architecture, and the civilian military, among others. The result is a diverse, multifocal, non-hierarchical assessment of a critical but often understudied period in Roman history.With a well-balanced list of established and up-and-coming scholars, A Community in Transition fills a substantial historiographical gap in the study of the Roman Republic.
