PATRIMONIVM:
Geography and Economy of the Imperial Properties in the Roman World
PATRIMONIVM is a scientific research
initiative funded by the European Research Council (ERC-StG 716375) for
the period 2017-2022. The project is hosted by the Ausonius Institute at the Bordeaux Montaigne University
and it is coordinated by Dr. Alberto Dalla Rosa. It aims at conducting
the first comprehensive and multidisciplinary study of the political,
social and economic role of the properties of the Roman emperors from
Octavian/Augustus to Diocletian (44 BC – AD 284) using a complete
documentary base for the entire Roman world.
This website is still under construction and new content will be added
regularly as the project progresses.
When complete, this page will be your gateway to accessing the ancient
documentation concerning the imperial properties during the High Roman
Empire. Texts (literary, epigraphic and papyrological), historical
commentaries, bibliographical references and a prosopographical index
will be organized in a modern digital database, named Atlas patrimonii.
Thanks to this new tool, it will be possible to renew our understanding
of the economic and social role of the imperial properties at local and
global level, and to ultimately show to what extent the patrimonium
Caesaris was one of the pillars of the imperial regime founded by
Augustus.
The PATRIMONIVM website will also
give access to detailed studies concerning single sources or particular
themes and, obviously, to all the publications of the project, which
will be available in full text under an Open Access license and in HTML
format. These will consist of conference proceedings, a sourcebook and
an authoritative History of the Imperial Properties in the Roman World,
exploring numerous aspects of the geography, the economy and the
organization of the patrimonium Caesaris.
A series of six workshops will take place between October 2017 and March
2019 and will provide the occasion to reconsider some key methodological
issues and the most important documents, like the inscription of the
Bagradas Valley (Africa proconsularis) or the statute of the mines of
Vipasca (Lusitania). in 2019, An international conference will be
devoted to the role of the imperial properties as a structuring factor
of the Roman economy. A second conference, to be held in 2020, will be
dedicated to the concept of patrimonialism as a tool for approaching
empires in different times and places.
