Abstract

La période qui court entre 455 et 476 est une période remarquable pour comprendre la chute de l’Empire romain d’Occident. La première partie de cet article examine la périodicité de la résidence impériale à Rome dans les dernières décennies de trouble de l’empire d’Occident (un point qui a été plutôt négligé dans les publications récentes qui focalisent l’attention uniquement sur la résidence de Valentinien III au milieu du e siècle) ainsi que les différents types d’empereurs (sénatoriaux, militaires, orientaux) qui ont émergé aussi rapidement qu’ils sont tombés durant ces années-là. La deuxième partie de cet article aborde la façon dont cette présence impériale constante dans la Cité a permis à la population romaine de prendre part à la vie et aux cérémonies impériales, tout en étant exposée aux violentes crises de l’empire. Elle soulignera en outre la grande générosité de deux riches généraux romains semi-barbares, durant cette période, au profit des églises de Sta. Agata dei Goti et de S. Andreas Catabarbara, alors qu’aucune action similaire n’est attestées de la part des empereurs entre 455 et 476, laissant imaginer l’importance qu’ont pu avoir les généraux plus que les empereurs dans l’exercice de ces actions partisanes. Un examen détaillé de ces années cruciales permet de mettre en évidence d’importants phénomènes de continuité autant que de contraste avec le régime du début du e siècle.
