Abstract

Cette étude recense, en les comparant à ceux de Carthage, les motifs choisis et les procédés mis en œuvre dans la décoration des stèles néopuniques de Maktar. Elle permet d’établir une typologie des monuments, d’en proposer une chronologie relative et, surtout, de suggérer des réponses à de lancinantes questions : celle, notamment, de la nature du personnage représenté sur les stèles funéraires (figure symbolique ou portrait du défunt ?), ou de la date de désaffection du tophet de Carthage, ou de la résurgence dans la région de Maktar d’un lointain culte héliolâtrique.

Abstract

This study makes an inventory of the patterns chosen and the processes implemented in the decoration of the Neopunic stelae of Maktar, by comparing them to those of Carthage. It establishes a typology of the monuments to suggest a relative chronology and, more importantly, it suggests answers to recurring questions: what is the nature of the character featured on the funerary stelae, i. e., symbolic representation or portrait of the deceased? what was the date of the discontinuation of the use of the Tophet of Carthage? Or was there a resurgence of a remote heliolatric cult in the area of Maktar?
