De lobjet a la societe romaine brings together some twenty contributions grouped into five parts: - De l'atelier a l'objet: artisanats, productions et instrumentum; - Croyances et cultes; - Iconographie, epigraphie et archeologie funeraire; - Habiter et organiser un territoire; - Decorer un edifice, which reflect many of the research themes of Prof. Jean-Claude Beal, to whom these studies are offered. They are mainly centred on Roman Gaul, and more generally on the western Roman provinces, reflecting the geographical areas in which he works.
