AB ABSTRACT: Christian centos represent a particular case in ancient literature, since the Latin productions preceded the Greek ones. After considering briefl y the determining factors which led to the rise of that genre in late Antiquity, this paper focuses on the two more signifi cant representatives of the Christian centos in Latin and in Greek, i.e.  Proba and  Eudocia. Th e analysis of specifi c passages in both works (together with other extrinsic factors) leads us to consider that  Eudocia probably knew  Proba’s work and in fact the former imitated the latter in certain characteristics regarding general composition. On the other hand, there are noticeable diff erences between them as well, which, however, may be due to the real diff erencies between  Virgil and  Homer, the poets that  Proba and  Eudocia used, respectively, to sew their centos.
