Statut institutionnel, évergetisme et urbanisme à Thugga

This study reveals that Thugga's urban evolution was significantly shaped by the evergetic actions of local notables, which served as markers of changing mentalities and structured the city according to flexible yet rigorous models. The research innovatively examines these dynamics from the perspective of the population itself, rather than solely focusing on central power influences. By analyzing the interplay between institutional status, urbanism, and evergetic manifestations, the study provides new insights into how local elites influenced Thugga's development and its reception of legal and institutional decisions.
