Professor Emeritus at the University of Bordeaux Montaigne and first director of the Ausonius Institute, Jean-Michel Roddaz is internationally recognized as one of the leading specialists in the period that saw the transition from the Roman Republic to the regime of the prince, the Principate. Known for his biography of Agrippa, published in 1984, he has since continued to extend his scholarly quest by deepening some of the themes developed in his first book and also opening up new avenues of research. He has devoted numerous studies to the central figures of this period, from Julius Caesar to his adopted son Augustus, including Mark Antony, his brother L. Antonius and Lepidus, but also to secondary actors in political life such as L. Cornelius Balbus. He has also broadened his geographical horizons beyond Rome by seeking to better define the impact of the political crisis and the birth of an imperial monarchy on provincial societies; He made the Iberian Peninsula his main field of research, going back to the Second Punic War, without limiting himself to also traveling through the Roman East and crossing paths with the figure of Herod. He contributed to developing, over the course of his research, such a coherent analysis that several of his friends and students deemed it necessary to bring together in a single volume the texts of twenty-eight of his articles, divided into two main themes: first, the history of a political "revolution" seen from Rome; second, the history of Rome as it was experienced at that time in the provincial world and by the provincials themselves.
