Abstract

L’articolo illustra l’interpretazione data in età moderna di alcune categorie del mondo romano. In particolare si sofferma sull’influenza della cultura nazionale del XIX e XX secolo sui concetti di “provincia” e di “impero”, entrambi letti in chiave territoriale. Tale visione è all’origine, anche a livello storiografico, di modelli estremamente distanti dalla realtà antica.

 

This article shows how modern culture interprets some categories of the Roman world. In particular, it analyzes the influences of 19th and 20th century national view on the concepts of “province” and “empire”, which are both conceived as territorial structures. Such a perspective originated many historiographical models which are very far away from ancient phenomena.
