L. a. civilisation de Rome est-elle différente de l. a. nôtre ? Nous en sommes les héritiers, mais connaissons-nous bien notre héritage ? Et que recouvre ce terme de civilisation ? Apparemment un ensemble complexe de coutumes, de ideas, de règles sociales formulées et informulées, des goûts, un type ou des kinds de vie, une manière pour les hommes de s’insérer dans le monde. Aspirations spirituelles et contraintes matérielles s’y affrontent. Dans certaines civilisations, le poids du goé paralyse les forces de vie. À Rome, ces deux forces s’équilibrent, du moins en fut-il ainsi pendant des siècles, où l’on voit se produire une création proceed, sans reniement, qui a pour effet (et sans doute pour dessein) de donner à l’homme les moyens d’affirmer et de vivre sa dignité, sa liberté, au sein de l. a. société. Les problèmes romains ne sont jamais très loin de ceux que connaît notre temps. Ils nous aident, sinon à résoudre ceux-ci, du moins à en prendre sense of right and wrong. Avec ses lumières et ses ombres, ses vertus et ses vices (qu’une culture méchante se plaît à peindre sous les plus noires couleurs), Rome n’en reste pas moins l’un des grands moments de l’humanité, l’un des plus inspirants et que nous ne saurions oublier sans mutiler le plus profond de notre être.
