Des Héraclides aux Caesares . Note sur la continuité des généalogies joviennes à Nemausus

A new analysis reveals that the persistence of Jupiter's cult at Nemausus and the construction of the Maison Carrée temple reflect a deliberate ideological continuity, linking local Heraclidean traditions with imperial Roman lineage. The study identifies systematic efforts to trace an Olympian origin, providing fresh context for the temple's dedication to 'Princes of Youth.' Marble elements from a Doric portico near the Vierne Bridge further confirm this coherence, aligning Nemausus' religious and political landscape with Rome's eastern Forum during the Julio-Claudian era. The research combines archaeological evidence with historical genealogy to redefine the site's significance in Roman cultural integration.
