Abstract
EnglishDuels and deuotiones: a representation of war in Livian historiography. In this paper, we resume an unsolved historiographical debate on a martial practice which can still be found in the late-Republican history, i.e. single combat. To go beyond the old opposition between survival of archaic stereotypes and use of specific martial customs, from a narratological perspective, these single combat representations are to be compared to those of deuotiones, bringing to light a common narrative pattern which matches with the rhetoric codification in topoi. Livy does not only build here exemplary characters or episodes which structure Roman collective memory but also offers to reflect on the mechanisms of war violence and on the ways to include it in Roman society. If such a narrative codification leads to some extend to a stereotypification, nevertheless, it mirrors the narrative drafting as well. Thus, the narrative focuses on the motive of spolia, both answering to the Polybian theory and to the Augustan control of spolia opima. francaisDans cette contribution, nous nous interessons a la persistance, depuis la Republique jusqu’a l’Empire, de pratiques guerrieres assimilables a des combats singuliers.
