Abstract
In his Panegyric on Anthemius, Sidonius Apollinaris describes the Vandals by mixing literary and ethnographic models with important information on the history of this people and on their king, Gaiseric. In particular, Sidonius attributes to the Vandals a cultural alterity in relation to other barbarian peoples, since he claims that the Caucasus was the ancestral homeland of the Vandals. This paper aims to investigate Sidonius’ representation of the Vandals’ cultural alterity.
