If the notion of downgrading in a context of social recession is at the heart of the concerns of French society in the 2020s, what was the reality of social and economic decline in Antiquity? Alcibiades, nephew of Pericles and a prominent figure in 5th-century Athens, remains the very example of the fallen politician, then just as quickly rehabilitated. What was the situation with objects, spaces, and even cities throughout Greco-Roman history? What declines? Why? And above all, was rehabilitation possible? This work brings together more than twenty contributions from researchers who question the relevance of using the decline-rehabilitation pair to understand ancient societies.
