Abstract: Abstract Herodotus and Pausanias lived in different eras but shared many resemblances: the Ionian inclination to travelling and inquiring, interest in history, geography, ethnography, ethnology, culture, art and literature, the desire to commemorate deeds worth telling and sites worth seeing. They selected and combined the information they collected from their journeys, from other travelers and from written sources, in order to form a profile of the Greek identity. To achieve that they looked into the profile of the “other”, be it a foreign nation, friendly or hostile, or the different parts of the same nation, which is the case of the individual local communities of Roman times.
