    Auguste, TibĂšre, et la fin du triomphe romain

    The triumph was the most prestigious accolade a politician and general could receive in republican Rome. After a brief review of the role played by the triumph in republican political culture, this article analyses the severe limits Augustus placed on triumphal parades after 19 BC, which then became very rare celebrations. It is argued that Augustus aimed at, and almost succeeded in, completely eliminating traditional triumphal celebrations during his lifetime, both by refusing them for himself and his relatives, and by rewarding his legates who fought under his auspices with ornamenta triumphalia and honorific statues in the Forum of Augustus. Subsequently, the elimination of the triumph would have been one natural result of the limit placed on further imperial expansion recommended by Augustus in his will, a policy his successors chose not to follow. Tiberius, however, was unwilling to conform to this new order, and retired from public life to Rhodes the year after celebrating a triumph in 7 BC, the first such celebration since 19 BC. The two triumphs of Tiberius and the Senate’ s repeated offers of further triumphs to Augustus himself represented a different vision of the role triumphal celebration should take in a restored res publica, and an ongoing challenge to the princeps.Le triomphe Ă©tait la plus prestigieuse des rĂ©compenses qu’ un homme politique et gĂ©nĂ©ral pouvait recevoir dans la Rome rĂ©publicaine. AprĂšs un bref Ă©tat des lieux du rĂŽle jouĂ© par le triomphe dans la culture politique rĂ©publicaine, cette Ă©tude analyse les limites strictes qu’ Auguste imposa aux processions triomphales aprĂšs 19 avant J.-C., qui devinrent ensuite des cĂ©lĂ©brations trĂšs rares. Elle dĂ©montre qu’ Auguste envisageait et rĂ©ussit en grande partie Ă  Ă©liminer complĂštement les cĂ©lĂ©brations triomphales traditionnelles Ă  son Ă©poque, en utilisant tout Ă  la fois le refus pour lui-mĂȘme et ses proches de ces cĂ©rĂ©monies, tout en gratifiant ses lĂ©gats ayant combattu sous ses auspices des ornements triomphaux et d’ une statue honorifique au forum Auguste. En consĂ©quence, la suppression du triomphe apparaĂźt comme l’ un des rĂ©sultats naturels de la limite imposĂ©e Ă  l’ expansion impĂ©riale ultĂ©rieure, telle qu’ elle fut recommandĂ©e dans le testament d’ Auguste, une politique que ses successeurs ont choisi de ne pas suivre. Cependant, TibĂšre Ă©tait peu enclin Ă  se conformer Ă  cette nouvelle attitude et choisit le retrait de la vie publique Ă  Rhodes, l’annĂ©e qui suivit son triomphe en 7 avant J.-C., premiĂšre cĂ©lĂ©bration de ce type aprĂšs 19 avant J.-C. Les deux triomphes de TibĂšre et les propositions rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©es du SĂ©nat de nouveaux triomphes Ă  Auguste lui-mĂȘme reprĂ©sentent deux visions opposĂ©es du rĂŽle que la cĂ©lĂ©bration triomphale devrait jouer au sein d’une res publica restaurĂ©e, et un dĂ©fi constant pour le princeps.Flower Harriet I.
