In order to explain the anthropic differences of the foreign people, many Roman authors often make use of the well known theory of geo-climatic determinism. Within the frame of this theory Rome becomes the center of the world, i. e., the place of normality, culture, and identity. The Roman identity, however, is not exclusive and is deeply rooted in alterity. In fact, the foundation of Rome, seen as "conluvies convenarum", can always be repeated by means of the conquests of the "Other", who can easily become "identical".
