2012

The analysis of literary source shows in the exemplum paupertatis of P.Cornelius Scipio Africanus, included by Seneca in Consolatio ad Heluiam matrem, a structure which conforms to a greek rhetorical pattern(commander virtous, but poor, which leaves no dowry to his daughters). In our opinion, Seneca's paternity justifiesthe absence of exemplum into other works prior to Seneca.
