Abstract En Fr

This paper calls into question the commonly accepted distinction between the haruspices-principes summoned from Etruria for the procuratio prodigiorum and the haruspices-attendants of magistrates in matters of extispicy. Just as the haruspices-attendants in the colonies or municipia could belong to the local aristocracy, so too the members of the ordo LX haruspicum, in the Imperial period, often belonged to the Roman equestrian aristocracy. The sources do not corroborate the hypothesis of a dichotomy between harupices-μάντεις and haruspices-θύται. The haruspices who appear to have settled in Rome at the turn of the 3rd and 2nd centuries B. C., as later those who, under the Empire, were members of the ordo LX haruspicum, were consulted in both procuratio prodigiorum and extispicy.

Cette étude remet en cause la distinction, communément admise, entre les haruspices-principes convoqués d’ Étrurie pour la procuratio prodigiorum et les haruspices-appariteurs de magistrats en matière d’ extispicine. De même que les haruspices-appariteurs des colonies ou municipes pouvaient appartenir à l’aristocratie locale, les membres de l’ordo LX haruspicum, sous l’Empire, appartenaient souvent à l’ aristocratie romaine équestre. Les sources ne corroborent pas l’hypothèse d’une dichotomie entre haruspices-μάντεις et haruspices-θύται. Les haruspices qui semblent s’ être fixés à Rome au tournant des IIIe et IIe siècles av. J.-C., puis ceux qui, sous l’Empire, étaient membres de l’ordo LX haruspicum, étaient consultés aussi bien en matière de procuratio prodigiorum que d’ extispicine.
