Abstract

Literary testimonies of the past give today’s society those socio-anthropological and relactional dynamics in which it is possible to recognize what Jan Assmann calls “connecting structure” between antiquity and modernity. A paradigmatic example is given by the praxis of exchange of benefits in De beneficiis by Seneca.
