<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk112349396"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk120633052"><span lang="EN-US">This Autumn’s last Helsinki Research on the Ancient World (HelRAW) seminar takes place on December 12th with Jasmin Lukkari (University

<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk112349396"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk120633052"><span lang="EN-US">In this talk I show how narratological methods can be used to study discourses of Otherness and cultural identities in Roman historical
narratives. I have chosen Livy’s portrayal of the Numidian king Masinissa – an important ally of the Romans in the Second Punic War and after – as a case example for this talk because the portrayal is a good example of an instance where a Roman historian
investigates the meaning of Romanness through a foreign character. Narratology has become popular in classical studies in recent decades in the wake of considerable increase of interest in the narrative theory across different disciplines. Nevertheless, ancient
historiography has attracted less attention than genres like poetry or epic because historical writing has not always been considered “narrative” enough. I argue, however, that we can detect the use of similar narrative techniques in Roman historiography as
in literary fiction. For example, in his portrayal of Masinissa, Livy uses various narrative techniques including close focalisation, manipulation of narrative time and space, and alternating between direct and indirect speech.
