Note publique d'information : This volume is a survey of one of the most interesting practices of ancient diplomacy:
the gift or exchange of symbolic objects understood as diplomatic presents. This custom
may be as old as mankind, but it can certainly be traced back to the emergence of
the first written societies. After assessing this background, the contributions of
the volume focus on a transcendental historical epoch: the Hellenistic period (from
the end of the 4th century BC to the end of the 1st century BC), which partially overlaps
with the expansion of the Roman Republic in the Mediterranean. The book brings together
international specialists who approach the subject from different chronological, geographical
and thematic perspectives. A stimulating proposal that opens up new insights into
the study of Antiquity and the History of Diplomacy. It provides an innovative approach
to the study of ancient diplomacy, based on cultural conditioning factors and subjective
perception of the gift and illuminates current issues, such as the role of diplomacy
and dialogue between cultures as a means of conflict resolution.
