Zesar Tito Libioren lanean: imitazio eraldatzailearen etsenplu bat diskurtso historikoan

Abstract

The article analyses a passage taken by Livy (AVC 10. 28.8-12) from Caesar’s work (BG 4. 33.1-34.1) by imitating: the chariot war, a war tactic mentioned by Caesar as Briton, is vaccinated in the War of Sentinum by Livy. By this comparison, the analysis pretends to show us two types of comprehension of the historical narration, standing out the importance and the task imitation has within the Roman literature. Imitation is presented as a dynamic and important procedure, capable to change the relation between both texts (inter text procedure). At the same time, the article displays some characteristics the ancient historiography has in comparison with the actual.
