International audience; La Gigantomachie est le mythe dont l’horizon est la constitution de l’ordre actuel du monde : ordre physique et matériel des éléments ; ordre politique des dieux et des humains. À la lumière de nouveaux documents et de monuments issus de récentes fouilles archéologiques ou d’oeuvres majeures conservées dans les collections des musées, ce mythe et ceux qui lui sont associés ont fait ici l’objet d’un nouvel examen. Tous les aspects littéraires, artistiques et historiques sont abordés afin de mieux saisir l’importance de la Gigantomachie dans l’Italie antique (Cumes, Satricum, Étrurie, Spina, Grande Grèce et Sicile) et ses développements en Orient (dans la Pergame hellénistique ou sur les sites d’Asie mineure à l’époque impériale romaine, notamment avec les théâtres), sans négliger les métamorphoses du mythe dans les paysages et l’art contemporain.

International audience; Loron (Tar-Vabriga, Croatia) is a large Roman estate implanted near the sea in the early frst century AD on the territory of the colony of Parentium (Poreč). It’s currently the subject of a French-Croatian international program involving the territorial museum of Poreč (Zavičajni Poreštine muzej), the French School of Rome and the research center C. Jullian (Aix-Marseille University - CNRS) with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia and the French Foreign Ministry. Since 1994, the excavations led by an international team have unearthed a large workshop complex mainly dedicated to the production of oil amphoras Dressel 6B for export. This workshop was the property of senators and emperors. It was continuously occupied from the frst century AD to the fourth century AD, before being gradually dismantled, and then completely abandoned in the late ffth century AD. New research conducted on the Loron promontory corresponding to imperial property, have located another Roman residential area - probably the aristocratic villa- without revealing signifcant evidences about the post-antique occupancy of this area. This is why the discovery in 2012 of a male individual burial associated with a small monetary treasure of the late thirteenth century is an atypical funerary context. The tomb itself, a no deep simple grave, was specifcally installed at the corner of a building associated with the amphora workshop. Itconstitutes an isolated context to link with sporadic visits to the coast. Yet the value of currencies associated with deceased contrast to the simplicity of the burial: these are 9 silver coins issued by the Aquileia and Trieste money workshops between 1234-1254 and 1260-1282. These coins were probably gathered in a purse discovered near the basin. The poster presents all burial components (location, architecture, skeleton, material) in relation to the known data on the late Middle Ages Poreč territory occupation and the funerary practice, compared to others similar contexts of isolated medieval burials with coins in Italy.

International audience; In 1949, P. Cintas excavated in the necropolis “of the bank” in Utica the grave of an individual in prone position (grave XXIII). This grave is a pit with raw brick walls, as all the other graves of this site for this period,and whose ceramic material is representative of the material found in the VIIthcentury BC Phoenician graves. In the meantime, the position of the deceased,in procubitus with the elbows tied up in the back, denotes in a context of decubitus positions. Through an actualization of the data of this grave XXIII, we will think about the place of those deceased in prone position within the Phoenician funerary practices. Aside from a different treatment of the body, can other elements, such as architecture or material in the grave, induce a distinction of the deceased? How would the grave XXIII be regarded compared to the collective standard seen in Utica?
