Depuis une trentaine d'années, les découvertes archéologiques mais aussi le réexamen des données anciennes ont profondément renouvelé notre connaissance de l'Égypte ancienne. Ces avancées permettent aujourd'hui de proposer un récit neuf, dégagé de la routine de l'histoire cyclique où, entre les « empires » forcément fastueux, viennent s'intercaler de sombres « périodes intermédiaires » marquées du sceau de la décadence.Les seize chapitres qui composent ce volume évoquent autant de moments de cette longue histoire qui commence à la fin du IVe millénaire av. J.-C. et s'achève avec la conversion des empereurs romains au christianisme. Malgré les transformations écologiques, géostratégiques, sociales et économiques que connut l'Égypte durant ces trois millénaires, ses rois, même ceux qui venaient de Perse, de Macédoine ou de la lointaine Rome, se glissèrent dans un costume politique taillé à la fin du IVe millénaire av. J.-C.Le pouvoir pharaonique en fut-il, pour autant, immuable ? Il faut, pour répondre, ne pas se laisser aveugler par les textes et les monuments suscités par les pharaons eux-mêmes : pyramides écrasantes, temples gigantesques, somptueux masques d'or donnent en effet une image pour le moins erronée d'omnipotence. Illusion qui vole en éclats si l'on abandonne le mythe de l'exception égyptienne et que l'on envisage l'histoire politique des monarchies comme participant à celle, plus générale, des mondes anciens.Près de trois cents documents iconographiques, une trentaine de cartes illustrent cette histoire de l'Égypte des Pharaons

This book presents the first detailed study of Tebtunis, a village in Egypt within the Roman Empire, in the first century AD. It is founded on the archive material of the local notarial office, or grapheion, which was run by a man named Kronion for most of the mid-first century. The archive, unparalleled in antiquity, includes over two hundred documents written on papyrus which attest a wide range of transactions made by the villagers over defined periods of time, in particular the years AD 42 and 45-7 under the reign of the emperor Claudius. This evidence provides a unique insight into various aspects of village life: the level of participation in the written contractual economy; the socio-economic stratification of the village, including the position of women, slaves, priests, and the role of the elite; the functions of associations; the types and importance of agriculture; and non-agricultural activities. 0This multitude of data reveals a highly diversified village economy, a large involvement in written transactions among all the strata of the population, and a rural society living mostly above subsistence level. Tebtunis provides a model of village society that can be used to understand the majority of the population within the Roman Empire who lived outside cities in the Mediterranean, particularly in the other eastern and more Hellenized provinces.
