No military victory without the confiscation of the goods of the vanquished, no triumph without a spectacular display of revenue: The economic, political and cultural significance of the spoils of war during the Roman expansion is well known. The contributions gathered in this volume aim to explore some lesser know aspects of this characteristically historic phenomenon: To what extent did the Romans developed their own forms of appropriation of booty? Who were in their view the rightful beneficiaries? What innovative uses did the victorious generals come up with? What was the political and cultural impact of stolen art? French and German text.
