Femmes en peinture et gynécées à Séleucie-Zeugma

EnglishSeveral well-to-do houses in Seleucia at Zeugma (the houses 1, 2 and 3) contain a room whose walls were decorated with full-length paintings of women. In the room P30 of house 3, as many as twelve women were painted. Some of these women painted in Zeugma houses can be identified through inscriptions (Penelope, Deidamia, the amazon Prothoe), but most remain anonymous. The examination of these three rooms, their location within the organization of the houses, and the identity of these painted women allows us to assume that these rooms were probably gynaikeia occupied by the women of the oikos during the day francaisPlusieurs maisons luxueusement decorees de Seleucie-Zeugma (les maisons 1, 2 et 3) contiennent une piece dont les murs etaient couverts de tableaux de femmes en pied. Pas moins de douze femmes etaient peintes sur les murs de la piece P30 de la maison 3. Certaines femmes peuvent etre identifiees (Penelope, Deidamie, l’amazone Prothoe), mais la plupart restent anonymes. Une etude de ces trois pieces, de leur situation dans l’organisation spatiale de chaque maison et de l’identite des femmes representees nous conduit a penser que ces pieces etaient probablement des gynecees occupes durant la journee par les femmes de l’oikos
