Nella seconda metà del IV secolo d.C. le relazioni tra Roma e Antiochia avevano come terminale privilegiato nelle due città le figure di Simmaco e Libanio, i quali le controllavano e le tenevano insieme proprio grazie allo strumento epistolare. L’esistenza di tale network deve essere tuttavia intesa estensivamente, perché sono poche le corrispondenze direttamente attestate dai rispettivi epistolari, mentre la maggior parte di esse può essere dedotta dalla condivisione di una sensibilità culturale e di un orizzonte comune di interessi da parte dei vari protagonisti attivi fra le due città.
In the 2nd half of the 4th century the relationship between Rome and Antioch had two privileged terminals, the figures of Symmachus and Libanius, who controlled and held them together thanks to the letters. Such a network should be broadly understood, because there are few correspondences directly attested, while most of them can be deduced from sharing a common cultural sensibility and a common horizon of interests by the various protagonists involved between the two cities.
