13 Gens isiaca et identité polythéiste à Rome à la fin du IVe s. apr. J.-C.

Abstract

After the peak of the Severan period, the micro-pantheon Isiac fades from public religious scene to gradually fade out of Rome. As it is true, a priori, that the second half of the third and the entire fourth century AD offer little documentation to answer a simple question: what did the Isis deities become? The crowd of Isis slammed by Christian writers of the late fourth and early fifth century hardly emerge from individual traits, at most a few highly visible markers of identity: the sistrum, shaved head, the celebration of isia. All elements found on a well-known documentary supposed that small bronzes type of Isis Vota publica were struck and distributed in Rome for nearly a century. The original text of the chapter is in French. Keywords: documents; Isis deities; Rome; Severi
