Les « coups de foudre » de Jupiter et l’exportation de la religion romaine en Gaule by Nicolas Laubry

“…The practice of burying or enclosing the fulgur is better attested in south-eastern Gaul than in any other province of the Western Roman Empire. The presence of this ritual of Roman origin has generally been connected to a supposed pre-Roman lightning cult which would have continued in that way during the Principate, especially in the countryside as a consequence of a form of syncretism favoured by its inhabitants. …”

À propos des espaces d’enseignement et des salles de conférence dans le monde romain by Michèle Villetard

“…It is not completely accurate to think that there were no specific teaching places in the Roman Empire. Literary or epigraphic sources as well as the last fifty years of archaeological works point out that medium and higher-level education could be performed in various types of buildings: small rooms where a few pupils learned or prestigious buildings where orators and sophists recited for hundreds or thousands of auditors. …”

Böhmes Morgen-Röte und Andreaes Chymische Hochzeit by Virginie Pektas

“…Böhme and Andreae are considered as two leading figures of German thought of the seventeenth century: Böhme, because the extent of his theosophical and pansophic vision of the universe changed European philosophy and theology; Andreae, because his Chymical Wedding—all together with the Fama and Confessio—inaugurated, whether he intended it or not, an esoteric movement in which a century torn by sectarian strife and the last gasps of the Holy Roman empire found its expression. Thus the temptation is great to find an affinity between the two authors: accordingly they are regularly mentioned together, in the same breath, in the same sentence, without however the mention going beyond mere juxtaposition. …”

Le mausolée de la villa d’Ussol à Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône) by Philippe Mellinand, Elsa Sagetat-Basseuil

“…The mausoleum excavated at the Ussol ZAC (Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône) presents distinctive features that make it all the more interesting: funerary chamber in a large structure, dating going back to the Late Roman Empire, located just beside a villa... It was originally built for a single, central burial, but seems to have been partly rebuilt to accommodate a second stone vault, next to the first one, in the semi-hypogeum chamber. …”
