L'ouvrage collectif Dette et politique propose une collection d'analyses des enjeux économiques du politique dans l'Antiquité et aujourd'hui. Dans cette perspective, la dette est un motif singulièrement riche et fécond. En effet, différents exemples de dettes antiques, que les textes et les vestiges archéologiques permettent d'étudier sous plusieurs aspects, témoignent de la force de ce phénomène économique non seulement dans le cours de l'histoire, mais aussi dans la réflexion politique et historique antique. L'importance des références antiques à propos de la dette se traduit aussi à travers leur résonance considérable, jusque dans des contextes récents, voire tout à fait contemporains.

A number of poets took up the Latin epic in order to stage the rule of Maximilian I, aiming to portray a hero who did not just meet and exceed ancient and genre-specific ideals but also lived up to the values and challenges of his time. This study examines the strategies applied to this end and sheds light on the unique features of Maximilian heroic poetry, taking into consideration its epic predecessors.

Horace, Odes Book III. Edited by Anthony John Woodman, Cambridge, 2021.

Book 3 of the Odes completes the lyric trilogy which Horace, who rivals Virgil as the greatest of all Latin poets, published in 23 BC. Arguably his most famous book, it opens with the six so-called 'Roman Odes', those defining texts of the Augustan Age, and concludes with the statement of his achievement: he has produced for his Roman readers a body of lyric poetry to rival the great lyric poets of Greece, a monument which will last as long as Rome itself. The present volume aims to place Horace's Odes in their literary and historical context, to explain his Latin, to articulate his thought, and to attempt to elucidate his brilliance. It presents a new text and adopts an approach independent of that of earlier commentators.
