Until now, Roman representations of the first Jewish-Roman War of 66-73 AD on Flavian coins were thought to be quite coherent, describing Iudaea as having been captured or conquered: coin types circulated with the legends Iudaea capta, Iudaea devicta or [Victoria] de Iudaeis. In contrast herewith, Iudaea was not a foreign enemy or a newly annexed province, but a province already established. But now, for the first time in the Flavian coinage, the exceptional legend Iudaea recepta appears. Compared with the other types, the new recepta issue presents a historically and politically more accurate view of Rome’s triumph over the Jewish rebels. It indicates the pacification of a province. Similar proclamations are attested on Augustan coinage.

The circumstances surrounding Caracalla’s death in AD 217 remain confusing. In particular the presence of the emperor near the famous temple of the Moon at Carrhae-Harran has led to much scholarly speculation. Often a preference for ‘the East’ has been put forward to explain Caracalla’s actions. This paper discusses the various possibilities why he decided to visit this specific temple, and argues that the episode ought to be understood through a combination of religious notions and individual, ‘political’ needs and conveniences which would have made it impossible for this emperor not to go to a deity whose local cult stood for total, universal power. In the process, this article also provides some clarity regarding the contradictory sources describing the events.

Les raisons doivent etre cherchees parmi les buts ideologiques d'Alexandre de faire de la campagne d'Asie une guerre contre les barbares, et dans les objectifs de propagande de Callisthene de presenter la bataille du Granique comme une victoire des Grecs sans Sparte a l'instar de la victoire de Marathon.

Etude des collecteurs de taxes qui travaillaient pour la banque de Jeme durant la premiere moitie du premier siecle de notre ere. La premiere partie dresse une liste des ostraca portant la mention de la formule «parmi les hommes de» (hn n3 rmt.w n) qui indique que le contribuable faisait partie d’un groupe qui payait ses impots aupres d’un collecteur attitre. L’examen de ces documents permet d’isoler presque une vingtaine de noms de collecteurs et de mettre en relief la dualite de la documentation fiscale. Ainsi, a cote des recus en bonne et due forme ont fleuri des recus officieux lies a l’activite des collecteurs. Notamment, des ‘fantomes’ de recus remis au contribuable lorsque le collecteur avait oublie le document officiel ainsi qu’une categorie de pieces dans lesquelles le collecteur declare avoir percu le montant de l’impot de la part du contribuable dont la fonction nous echappe. Ce dossier permet enfin d’etablir une chronologie assez precise de la diffusion du grec dans l’administration fiscale de Haute Egypte: le dernier recu demotique officiel est date de 40, le dernier recu officieux de 56/57
