TYRANS, BUREAUCRATES ET VICTIMES - Les empereurs romains ont-ils quelque chose à nous apprendre ?

De Tibère « l’hypocrite » à Commode « le psychopathe », les récits modernes ont souvent forgé une image sombre du pouvoir impérial romain. Mary Beard, professeure émérite à Cambridge et figure incontournable de la littérature antique, remet en question cette vision dominante : comment interpréter ce que les auteurs antiques disaient de leurs empereurs ? Ces discours constituent-ils une critique de l’autocratie ? Et que peuvent-ils nous apprendre sur nos sociétés contemporaines, où les médias comparent régulièrement les dirigeants actuels aux empereurs romains ?

?‍? Mary Beard est également l’autrice des ouvrages à succès SPQR, Pompéi et Emperor of Rome, ainsi que de séries documentaires pour la BBC et du podcast Instant Classics.

✨Cette cérémonie est organisée en l'honneur des lauréats des Prix Latsis universitaires 2025:

TYRANTS, BUREAUCRATS AND VICTIMS - Do Roman emperors have anything to teach us?

From Tiberius “the hypocrite” to Commodus “the psychopath,” modern accounts have often shaped a dark image of Roman imperial power. Mary Beard, Emerita Professor at Cambridge and a leading figure in classical literature, challenges this dominant view: how should we interpret what ancient authors wrote about their emperors? Do these texts represent a critique of autocracy? And what can they teach us about our contemporary societies, where the media frequently compare today’s leaders to Roman emperors?

?‍? Mary Beard is also the author of the bestselling books SPQR, Pompeii and Emperor of Rome, as well as BBC documentary series and the podcast Instant Classics.

✨ This ceremony is held in honor of the Laureates of the Latsis University Prizes 2025:
• Dr Quentin Béran, University of Geneva
• Prof. Rasmus Kyng, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zürich)
• Prof. Philippe Schwaller, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL)
