Abstract

This paper gathers tbe epigrapbic documents about civic deliveries in Hispania. From these data, a study of every type of gift (epula, sportulae, olea, and balinea) is accomplished, analysing its geographical and chronological distribution, the motivations of Spanish civic benefactors and their social status, the cost of donations, and the social groups which were benefitted with the delivery of cash, oil and food, or by the free entrance to public baths.
