The Essay develops the theme of barbaries in the Historia Romana of Velleius Paterculus from the point of view of gestuality, rhetorically considered as a typical aspect of characters or moments which assume a paradigmatic meaning. Gestures underline the hyperbolic cruelty of some protagonists of the history of late Roman republic, while at the beginning of the Empire, especially under Tiberius, some deferential acts towards him by barbarians can be considered as tipical Roman behaviours.
