Abstract

This paper compares J. AJ 18.65-84 and Iuv. 6.522-547, both addressing Isiac and Jewish issues, and elaborates on the hypothesis that the coincidences existing between the two, instead of being incidental, are signi$cant. Given Josephus’ and Juvenal’s chronological proximity, and partially contemporaneous presence at Rome, both of them may depend on the use of common background material, whose $rst diffusion dates back to the age of Tiberius and which shares some features of the Romance of Alexander. The possibility is contextualized within the broader literary panorama concerning Egyptians and Jews, and is explored through a detailed analysis of the texts taken into account.
