L'auteur analyse l'ouvrage aussi bien dans son thème que dans sa structure, le comparant d'une part avec d'autres représentations analogues qui ornent des monuments funéraires de l'ncien Proche- Orient, d'autre part avec des témoignages littéraires. Il en vient à démontrer, entre autres, que la signification primaire de la représentation, c'est-à-dire la célébration du roi mort en tant que guerrier-chasseur, constitue une nouveauté en rapport à la royauté macédonienne. Quant à la datation, l'auteur suggère de situer la peinture aussitôt après Alexandre le Grand, et ce en accord avec les caractères formels et idéologiques de l'ouvrage.
The author carries out an iconographie and iconologic analysis of the painted frieze, representing a hunting scene of the lion and other animals, to be found on the second royal Macedonian tomb in Vergina, the so-called "Philip's Tomb". The work is analysed both in its theme and structure and compared with similar hunting scenes on burial monuments of the Ancient Near East. Literary evidence on the same topic is also taken into account. The author conludes, among other things, that the primary meaning of the representation, i.e. the celebration of the deceased king as warrior-hunter, is a novelty for Macedonian kingship, and that the painting should be dated from the years immediately following the death of Alexander the Great, as this appears coherent with the formal and ideological characteristics of the work.

These concern the way the bibliography on Royal Tombs over time has been developed and its controversial past and current uses, together with the self-contradictory contribution of osteoarchaeological studies regarding the open debate about the identity of the king and the queen buried in Tomb II.

Le sujet de l'alimentation dans VAnabase est abordé en tant que forme de
communication entre des cultures différentes. Le regard de Xénophon sur les
nourritures de l'altérité, tout en étant fondé sur le contact direct avec les barbares, est
en réalité constamment conditionné par son propre code alimentaire; ce regard est par conséquent caractérisé par un remarquable ethnocentrisme, présenté également comme exotisme. L'ethnocentrisme alimentaire de Xénophon s'inscrit parfaitement dans le modèle culturel hellénique qui a été élaboré au cours du Ve siècle. La taxonomie anthropologique de ce modèle, fondée sur la primauté des Grecs, reléguait les barbares dans une condition de marginalité et d'infériorité naturelle et culturelle à la fois.
Summary
In this paper the food theme in the Anabasis is considered as a means of
communication between different cultures. In spite of Xenophon's direct approach to
the barbarians, actually his account of their food is constantly conditioned by his own
food code, and is marked by a strong ethnocentrism also passed off as extocisim.
Xenophon's alimentary ethnocentrism is a perfect expression of the Hellenic
cultural pattern worked out during the 5th century, whose anthropological taxonomy
- based on the Greek leadership - sentenced the barbarians to a condition of alienation and inferiority, both natural and cultural.

J.-C. et jusqu'au IIIe siècle ap. J.-C, a donné lieu à des interprétations divergentes. Les auteurs observent d'abord que les variantes qui ont été progressivement introduites dans le modèle figuratif ne permettent pas de parler d'un type unique, mais de plusieurs différents l'un de l'autre et dont chacun doit être étudié individuellement. Dans cette perspective, on soumet les représentations des cavaliers émis par Alexandre Ier et par Philippe II à une analyse i c o no gr a phi q ue minutieuse et on suggère de lire leurs significations en se rapportant aux exigences politiques et idéologiques — aussi bien qu'économiques — des deux souverains. Abstract. — The rider as an iconographie subject typical of the Macedonian coinage in a large time span (from the 5th century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D.) has been submitted to numerous interpretations. In this paper the authors assume that the various changes to the figurative scheme cannot be referred to a single type ; on the contrary they represent different coin types, each of them deserving a separate analysis. In this perspective the authors analyse in detail the iconography of the types of riders issued by Alexander I and Philip II and suggest to interpret their meanings in relation to the political, ideological and also economic requirements of the two kings.

Nevertheless, Xenophon’s evidence, which is different from what is known through other sources, raises questions which are to remain unanswered. This paper focuses on the information, provided by Xenophon and preserved also by Diodorus, concerning the presence of a contingent of 1000 Paphlagonian horsemen among the ranks of Cyrus’ army deployed in the battle of Cunaxa against his brother Artaxerxes. As opposed to the belief that these horsemen were conscripted as satrapal forces, this paper aims at identifying them as mistophoroi, coming from a region – such as Paphlagonia at that time – which was not subject to Achaemenid military and tributary control.
