Hadrian Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) While I am momentarily writing a piece on late Roman taxation I would like to ask all of you I you know perhaps interesting references to primary sources, referring to taxes. I am mainly focussing on land tax, which was often levied in kind in late antiquity, but there are some cases in which this tax was levied in money. Are you familiar with this? And if so, where can I find the evidence point in a direction of multiformed levying of taxation in antiquity (as against the conventional view of the annona). PS: are some of you known with the system of adaeratio?? Thanks!! J.A. Boek, The Netherlands Edited February 24, 2007 by Hadrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryaxis Hecatee Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well I can see two main sources : the first one will be the papirii from Egypt, but they relate to local taxes which may not apply to the whole empire. Other documentation may come from late authors, especially those from the church who writes more often about realia like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladict Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 There should be a few references in the Codex Theodosianus and Justinian's codices. And the papyrii of course, as was already mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
