Abstract
The point of view of Greek and Roman historians from imperial times is generally favourable to Roman imperialism. But more critical views can also be found, through the idealization of the barbarians or through the "voices" of the enemies of Rome. These "anti-Roman voices" have greatly influenced modern historiography for the idealization of native people and the rejection of a conquering and cruel Rome. This happened also in the Basque Country in the nenteenth century, when historiographical and literary works readapted the ancient discourse to the new political interests and debates.
