La méthode prosopographique, mise au point par des historiens de Rome au xixe siècle, s’attache à la constitution de notices individuelles fondées sur des renseignements biographiques de toutes sortes à propos de personnes ayant des liens entre elles. L’analyse comparée de l’ensemble des notices, à partir du matériel réuni, classé et interprété, permet d’établir les points communs et particularités, en vue d’une synthèse d’histoire générale. Cette méthode a contribué, dès ses origines, au renouvellement de nos connaissances de l’empire romain. Les diverses contributions de ce symposium international, célébrant l’activité scientifique de Janine Desmulliez, professeur émérite d’Histoire du christianisme à Lille 3, se présentent comme la première synthèse de ce type, à portée méthodologique et historiographique, fondée sur des recherches originales, d’éminents prosopographes comme de jeunes chercheurs, abordant sur la longue durée de multiples aspects de la société romaine d’empire, païenne et chrétienne. Des empereurs aux gouverneurs de provinces, des prêtres et dévots païens aux évêques et pères de l’Église chrétienne, ce sont autant d’éléments constitutifs de la société romaine d’empire qui sont éclairés par l’analyse prosopographique des données disponibles, sa méthode rigoureuse et ses résultats assurés. Ce volume illustre la fécondité de recherches entreprises dont la seule légitimité est de faire progresser l’histoire sociale du monde romain, cette « vie des autres », ce miroir de l’humanité qu’évoque Ségolène Demougin en conclusion.

This volume presents the proceedings of the fifth workshop of the international thematic network ‚Impact of Empire’, which concentrates on the history of the Roman Empire, c. 200 B.C. - A.D. 476, and, under the chairmanship of Lukas de Blois and Olivier Hekster (University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands), brings together ancient historians, archaeologists, classicists and specialists on Roman law from some 28 European and North American universities. The fifth volume focuses on the impact of imperial Rome on religions, ritual and religious life in the Roman Empire. The following topics are treated: connections between Roman expansion and religion, the imperial impact on local cults, cultic personnel (priests, priestesses and bishops), and the divinity of Roman Emperors.

The Roman empire set law at the center of its very identity. A complex and robust ideology of law and justice is evident not only in the dynamics of imperial administration, but a host of cultural arenas. Citizenship named the privilege of falling under Roman jurisdiction, legal expertise was cultural capital. A faith in the emperor’s intimate concern for justice was a key component of the voluntary connection binding Romans and provincials to the state. Even as law was a central mechanism for control and the administration of state violence, it also exerted a magnetic effect on the peoples under its control. Adopting a range of approaches, the essays explore the impact of Roman law, both in the tribunal and in the culture. Unique to this anthology is attention to legal professionals and cultural intermediaries operating at the empire’s periphery. The studies here allow one to see how law operated among a range of populations and provincials—from Gauls and Brittons to Egyptians and Jews—exploring the ways local peoples creatively navigated, and constructed, their legal realities between Roman and local mores. They draw our attention to the space between laws and legal ideas, between ethnic, especially Jewish, life and law and the structures of Roman might; cases in which shared concepts result in diverse ends; the pageantry of the legal tribunal, the imperatives and corruptions of power differentials; and the importance of reading the gaps between depiction of law and its actual workings. This volume is unusual in bringing Jewish, and especially rabbinic, sources and perspectives together with Roman, Greek or Christian ones. This is the result of its being part of the research program “Judaism and Rome” (ERC Grant Agreement no. 614 424), dedicated to the study of the impact of the Roman empire upon ancient Judaism.
