Abstract

The aim of this publication is not to re-open the general question about giftgiving and its rules in the ancient world, but rather to concentrate exactly on the interaction of wealth, performance and status in the mechanisms connected to gift-giving and gift-exchange, starting from the mentioned 'tension' existing between gift and commerce and with a particular awareness, therefore, for the interactions between different forms of exchange and their repercussions on social capital and social visibility.
