Abstract
This article unveils the presence of Rome in Philo's and Josephus's construction of Jewish identity as "barbarian" and shows how they locate the Jewish people on the Roman side of a cultural divide between Rome and Greece. Special attention is paid to the comparisons drawn by the two Jewish authors between the Jews and the Indians, two nations devoted, in their view, to practical ethics, endurance and free speech.
