Les bains d'or de Caligula. Immensi aureorum acerui (Suétone, Cal. 42, 3)

View through CrossRef
Julien Guey, «Les bains d'or» de Caligula, immensi aureorum acerui (Suétone, Cal, 42, 3), p. 443-446. Il s'agit d'un sacrement «à l'égyptienne», le Pharaon étant dieu et l'or étant «la chair des dieux». Caligula espère opérer ainsi, de son vivant, sa propre divinisation: c'est là la véritable interprétation du texte de Suétone (cf. l'article précédent de François Daumas).
