Resumo: Apart from Rome, no city in the early Roman Empire was more characterized and criticized by outsiders than Alexandria. These images produced in Roman times created representations of the city that the contemporary historiography perpetuates: an enormous, beautiful and turbulent city, second only to Rome. The aim of this article is to discuss how these images associated to Alexandria’s greatness and prosperity illustrate a perception of the city as a mirror to Rome and a threat to its hegemony. My objective is to demonstrate that the selection of themes was not innocent, as was not also the duality within the narratives, that focus on Alexandria’s qualities and achievements on the one hand, and on its problems and tendency to polemics, on the other.

As imagens produzidas no período romano criaram representações da cidade que a historiografia contemporânea perpetua: uma cidade linda, turbulenta e enorme, que ficava atrás apenas de Roma. O objetivo desse artigo é discutir como as imagens associadas à grandeza e prosperidade de Alexandria ilustraram uma percepção da cidade como um espelho de Roma e uma ameaça à sua hegemonia. Minha intenção é demonstrar como a escolha dos conteúdos não foram inocentes, nem tampouco a dualidade das narrativas, que enfocavam as qualidades e realizações de Alexandria, por um lado, e os seus problemas e tendência à polêmica, por outro.Portal de Periódicos da Ufes2013-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitas/article/view/625910.17648/rom.v0i1.6259Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; N. 1 (2013): janeiro-junho; 148-169Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; n. 1 (2013): janeiro-junho; 148-169Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; No. 1 (2013): janeiro-junho; 148-169Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; Núm. 1 (2013): janeiro-junho; 148-169Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; No 1 (2013): janeiro-junho; 148-1692318-9304reponame:Romanitasinstname:Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES)instacron:UFESporhttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitas/article/view/6259/4571Copyright (c) 2014 Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessClímaco, Joana Campos2023-03-18T15:01:19Zoai:periodicos.ufes.br:article/6259Revistahttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitasPUBhttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitas/oaigil-ventura@uol.com.br || es.leir@gmail.com2318-93042318-9304opendoar:2023-03-18T15:01:19Romanitas - Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES)false
