[en] The paper analyses the strategy of representation of otherness in Sidonius Apollinaris’ works; the use of literary topoi and allusivity is examined in order to shed light on the interplay between literary dimension and reality in Sidonius’ characterisation of the ‘barbarians’, in the context of fifth-century Gaul.
