Résider hors de chez soi dans l’empire romain
Abstract
Changes of residence in the Roman Empire highlight their complexity and nuances that can be observed at different times and in different places. Inscriptions contribute to enriching legal interpretations. Historiography then allows us to better understand difficulties that were once considered insurmountable. The incolae illustrate the importance of evolving and precise definitions. These incolae who constituted an identified human group, referred, at the turn of the empire, as municipalization developed, to residents who came from outside and met the conditions of status and social rank desired by the host communities. Indifferent to the modern notion of “integration”, the incola appeared as the equal of the most worthy local citizens, called upon to demonstrate an equivalent attachment to the city of residence.
