Épigraphie des moulins

Dans le cadre du catalogage des différents éléments associés aux boulangeries, le relevé des marques sur meules a été initié durant cette campagne. Loin d’être inédites, ces inscriptions ont presque toutes déjà bénéficié de la lecture de H. Dressel, transcrite dans le volume X du CIL, sous le numéro 8057. Toutefois, la réalisation d’apographes permet de compléter et parfois de revoir les lectures proposées. Surtout, l’analyse de ces inscriptions en contexte permet, par-delà quelques pertes et lacunes, d’esquisser un parcours de ces moulins entre la carrière et la boulangerie.

 

Pour l’heure, sous réserve d’achever les apographes et la recension, aux trente-six inscriptions éditées par Mommsen, s’ajoutent cinq autres, non mises au jour au moment de l’édition du second volume du CIL X ou non observées. Quatorze inscriptions ont été revues, six apographes réalisés (fig. 18).

Fig. 18 - Pompéi Pistrina. Apographes des marques incisées sur des catilli.

Échelle : 1/10.

Relevé – dessin : N. Monteix / ÉfR.

 

Il convient en première approche de souligner que toutes les inscriptions revues ont été incisées sur des meules réalisées en basalte d’Orvieto (Note 5). Toutefois, tous les moulins provenant du Latium ne présentent pas nécessairement d’inscription. Selon les observations d’H. Dressel, transmises par Th. Mommsen, sept des trente-deux marques inscrites étaient rehaussées de peinture rouge, tandis que six étaient exclusivement peintes et non incisées. Pour l’heure, aucune des inscriptions peintes recensées dans le CIL ne semble avoir été préservée.

 

Note 5 : Sur les différentes provenances des meules de Pompéi, voir Buffone 1999, p. 117-130.

 

Les inscriptions incisées peuvent être lues tant sur les catilli que sur les metae. Ces dernières sont toutefois plus rares (24 %) et plus difficiles à revoir en raison de leur possible dissimulation par le massif maçonné entourant la meule dormante. Quand elles sont sur le catillus, elles sont systématiquement disposées sous l’un des deux trous d’emmanchement (fig. 19), c’est-à-dire que le tronc de cône sur lequel elles se trouvent était posé au sol au moment de la gravure.

En attendant de les revoir toutes, ces marques incisées renvoient à seize noms différents, pouvant éventuellement être réduits à quatorze. Eu égard à la nature du support, aucune de ces inscriptions ne comporte plus de trois lettres. De ce fait, on ne saurait pour l’heure déterminer dans chaque cas à quel élément de nomenclature tronqué renvoie l’inscription (Note 6). Quelques exemples suggèrent cependant des tria nomina abrégés et dépourvus de cognomen (Note 7).

 

Note 6 : L’inscription GEA(…) [CIL X, 8057, 6 a] pourrait être l’abréviation d’un cognomen, tandis que les marques HOS(…) [CIL X, 8057, 7], SEX(…) [CIL X, 8057, 11] et TVL(…) [CIL X, 8057, 13] pourraient renvoyer à des gentilices.

 

Note 7 : Les inscriptions P(…) MA(…) [CIL X, 8057, 10], C(…) MA(…) [CIL X, 8057, 9] et C(…) CO(…) [CIL X, 8057, 4 relue] pourraient correspondre à ce cas de figure.

 

En dépit de ces variantes, plusieurs hypothèses peuvent être formulées quant au sens de ces marques. Elles peuvent avoir été faites (1-) sur le lieu d’extraction et caractériser soit (1-a) l’exploitant et/ou propriétaire des carrières, soit (1-b) un simple carrier. Une alternative consisterait à y voir (2) des marques incisées pour nommer l’acheteur final de la meule, le boulanger. Le fait que l’on retrouve la même marque dans plusieurs boulangeries et qu’un même pistrinum présente des meules avec des marques différentes permet de repousser la dernière hypothèse. On retiendra donc que les inscriptions incisées renvoient à l’extraction. En suivant cette hypothèse, il est également possible de considérer que la même carrière (le même carrier ou le même exploitant) n’a pas de spécialisation dans sa production : elle fera autant des catilli que des metae. Une dernière remarque peut être faite quant aux rares inscriptions simplement peintes : leur texte ne se retrouve jamais parmi les marques incisées ; on considérera donc que ces indications peintes en rouge pourraient caractériser soit un intermédiaire, soit le destinataire des moulins.

 

A priori, seul un unique exemple est préservé sur un catillus : la meule encore en place de la boulangerie des Chastes amants (IX 12, 6.8) offre deux inscriptions peintes à la lecture – à condition de modifier la balance des couleurs (fig. 20). La première, qui méritera d’être photographiée de nouveau avec un cadrage plus large, est très effacée et pourrait être un V. La deuxième, peinte dans un second temps, indiquerait le destinataire du catillus et donc l’occupant ou le propriétaire de la boulangerie. Les trois lettres séparées d’un point se lisent C.I.P., que l’on développera en C(aio) I(ulio) P(olybio) ou C(aio) I(ulio) P(hilippo) (Note 8).

 

Note 8 : L’intuition que cette boulangerie ait appartenu à Caius Iulius Polybius avait été émise à titre d’hypothèse par Varone 1989, p. 225-238, p. 236 et 1991, p. 195-204, p. 200, puis par Zevi 1996, p. 78-85, p. 79. La lecture de cette inscription paraît leur donner raison, au moins quant au lien avec les Iulii. Nous adressons par ailleurs tous nos remerciements à A. Varone pour ses remarques sur la lecture de cette inscription, confirmant notre transcription.
