Echi libaniani nell’attività normativa imperiale?

Abstract

The research proceeds along the lines of the conductive thread constituted by the illegal visits to the governors which are testified in Libanius’ speeches 50 and 51, addressed to the Emperor Theodosius: Libanius makes the request for a law aimed at forbidding the scandal of such visits intended for achieving completely illicit facilities. Libanius puts on the cloths of the loyal citizen who informs the emperor about the events concerning his subjects, letting it somehow leak how many influences, pressures and conditioning factors were which the representatives of the imperial power had to contend with.
