Abstract
In the years preceding World War One, a whole series of publications appeared in France which tried to bring to the French audience the importance of current archaeological excavations in Dalmatia. The province being under the rule of the Habsburg Monarchy, an ally of Germany, archaeology appeared also as a way of scrutinizing the situation in a political perspective. Édouard Maury and Charles Diehl paved the way to the ambitious enterprise of Ernest Hébrard and Jacques Zeiller who published in 1912 a scientific landmark on the Palace of Diocletian. The thorough study left an enduring imprint on their further work, which subsequently during and after the War amalgamated Late Roman with colonial issues.
Negli anni precedenti la prima guerra mondiale, una serie di pubblicazioni apparve in Francia con lo scopo di presentare al pubblico francese l’importanza degli scavi archeologici eseguiti allora in Dalmazia. Siccome la Dalmazia era allora una provincia della monarchia asburgica, alleata della Germania, l’archeologia fu un modo di esaminare la situazione in una prospettiva anche politica. Édouard Maury e Charles Diehl prepararono l’impresa ambiziosa di Ernest Hébrard e Jacques Zeiller, i quali avrebbero pubblicato nel 1912 un’opera fondamentale sul Palazzo di Diocleziano. Con questo studio Hébrard e Zeiller impressero un’impronta durevole sul loro lavoro successivo durante e dopo la guerra, amalgamando tematiche tardo antiche e coloniali.
