Abstract

En 1958, Erwan Marec publia une église d’Hippone qu’il présenta comme la , c’est-à-dire la cathédrale de saint Augustin. Progressivement, de grands savants ont exprimé leurs doutes de manière séparée. Réunis, leurs arguments forment un faisceau impressionnant qui permet en pratique d’écarter l’identification de Marec. Le rassemblement de l’ensemble de la documentation disponible, des articles publiés et d’archives inédites permet de proposer un autre emplacement sur lequel le réaménagement prochain de toute la plaine devrait permettre de mener des investigations détaillées. La reconnaissance de divers objets et inscriptions découverts jadis dans le bâtiment et la nécropole qui l’entourait précise peu à peu l’aspect de la basilique de saint Augustin, qui semble être restée encore en place à l’époque byzantine.

Abstract

In 1958, Erwan Marec published an antique church of Hippo. He argued it to be the , i.e. the St. Augustine’s Cathedral. Gradually, great scientists expressed doubts separately. Together, their arguments form an impressive beam which allows to exclude Marec’s identification. Gathering of all available documentation, published articles and unpublished archives allow to propose another location. Next restructuration of the plain is expected to allow detailed investigations. The recognition of various objects and inscriptions previously discovered in the building and the necropolis which gradually surrounded it precise some aspects of the Basilica of St. Augustine, which, as it seems, stood up to Byzantine period.
