Dès les débuts de la civilisation, les animaux domestiques constituaient une part indivisible de la vie de l’être humain. Depuis, les animaux sont associés à la vie quotidienne : pour le travail et à la production, pour le transport des marchandises et des hommes en temps de guerre et de paix, pour les processions rituelles, comme animaux de compagnie et fidèles compagnons, et comme symboles et métaphores pour des concepts idéologiques.

L’objectif de cette conférence, de septembre 2002, était d’étudier la relation entre l’homme et l’animal dans l’Antiquité, au-delà des aspects purement utilitaires. Ce volume présente les résultats de la réunion, qui a rassemblé des chercheurs du monde entier suivant le choix des disciplines universitaires et des traditions savantes.
