Cette publication est le resultat de la premiere journee d'etudes sur l'art et l'archeologie du Proche-Orient hellenistique et romain qui s'est tenue a l'Institut Catholique de Paris. Le propos est d'aborder les circulations et les echanges artistiques afin de montrer les specificites locales, les emprunts culturels et les apports exterieurs. Le domaine geographique traite est vaste: le Levant hellenistique, Jerusalem et la Judee herodienne, le royaume nabateen… Les themes abordes sont egalement tres varies : l'architecture religieuse, les decors prives (peintures murales, mosaiques), les jardins, l'art funeraire. Compte tenu de la situation actuelle qui empeche un grand nombre d'equipes de travailler sur le terrain, il nous a semble important de reunir des specialistes afin de realiser un etat des lieux de la recherche au Proche-Orient.
This book is the result of the first of a series of study days on the Art and Archaeology of the Near East to be held at the Catholic Institute of Paris. Its purpose is to discuss circulation and artistic exchange, in order to examine such themes as local styles, cultural borrowings and novelties coming from outside cultures. The geographical area covered is vast: the Hellenistic Levant, Jerusalem and Herodian Judaea, the Nabataean kingdom, Europos-Doura… The themes treated are also very varied: religious architecture, private settings (mural paintings, mosaics), gardens, funerary art. In view of the present situation that prevents a large number of teams from working in the field, it seemed to the editors important to bring together specialists to carry out such an inventory of research in the Near East.
