  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This paper comments on the tension between constant<jats:italic>imitatio</jats:italic>and refused<jats:italic>aemulatio gloriae</jats:italic>in Tiberius’ attitude towards Augustus in Velleius Paterculus’<jats:italic>History</jats:italic>. I argue that Tiberius is equalling and eventually even surpassing Augustus<jats:italic>precisely because</jats:italic>he refuses to compete with him, let alone surpass him. In order to do so, I focus on two hitherto neglected Augustan intertexts, which are referenced at very distinct moments of Velleius’ portrayal of Tiberius. The first is the moment when Tiberius appears on the political stage at the age of 19 (2.94.1); the second is the last mentioned event of his life before he succeeds Augustus, namely his third triumph in<jats:sc>ad</jats:sc>12 (2.122.1).</jats:p>
