Autels et cippes à Dougga et sa région : étude iconographique et architecturale

A comprehensive analysis of cippes and monuments from Dougga, Tunisia, reveals significant insights into ancient funerary practices and social hierarchies. The study, the first to focus extensively on these often-overlooked artifacts, categorizes them based on function (votive or funerary) and form, while examining architectural and iconographic details. It also maps their spatial distribution, distinguishing between in-situ autels and those found out of context. By tracing the historical context of excavations and analyzing inscriptions, the research reconstructs the social origins and ranks of the deceased, offering a nuanced understanding of Dougga's ancient society.
