Biography

Agrégé d'histoire, assistant at the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences of Tunis (1969-1971), a member of the École française de Rome (1971), Yvon Thébert taught at the école normale supérieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud from 1973. His major excavation sites were Bulla Regia (from 1965 to 1985) and the Vigna Barberini on the Palatine Hill in Rome (from 1986 to 1997).

Continuing the excavations he conducted at Bulla Regia, he devoted much of his research to Roman Africa and the architecture of Roman baths, topic of his State thesis. He also devoted much of his work to the study of social and cultural mechanisms of ancient history, offering a critical analysis of the concepts of romanization or conquest, from the analysis of social hierarchies rather than cultural hyphenation.
