From a reading of the literary excursus found in the fmal chapters of book I of Velleius' work, I have sought to analyse the characteristics ofthe Greece- Rome comparison and of the similar Athens - Rome comparison, two themes that assume considerable importance in the ideology adopted by the author in his narration. The exaltation ofRome, and earlier of Italy, considered from the aspect of his literary production, are perfectly coherent with the undercurrent of all of Velleius' work, eulogy of the Rome - Italy communion.
