| Summary: | ‘Ayant un jour renoncé à la toge pour porter le manteau court des philosophes grecs, Tertullien s'en explique devant la bonne société cultivée de Carthage.’ So Marie Turcan's blurb. Was that what happened? Or was Tertullian merely giving a personal twist to the sort of paradoxical subject that sophists loved: the assertion, before a Romanized audience, of the claims of the pallium above the toga? Certainly the pallium itself is made the speaker in the final pages of the little book., However that may be, it would remain relevant to try to answer the questions so long raised about this intriguing piece. When was it written? Turcan opts for the years 209–11. Is it anti-Roman? For Turcan, not very (she remarks en passant that it was Tertullian who coined the word Romanitas). |
