Vectigalia Populi Romani

By Pieter Burman

Vectigalia Populi Romani delves into the intricate system of taxation in ancient Rome. Authored by Pieter Burman, this work offers a detailed examination of the various forms of taxes, duties, and levies that constituted the financial backbone of the Roman Republic and Empire. From land taxes and customs duties to more specialized forms of revenue collection, the book explores the mechanisms through which the Roman state financed its vast military, infrastructure projects, and administrative apparatus.

Burman's study sheds light on the economic policies and practices that shaped Roman society, providing insights into the relationship between the state and its citizens, as well as the complexities of managing a large and diverse empire. This historical analysis is invaluable for scholars and enthusiasts interested in understanding the financial underpinnings of one of history's most influential civilizations.
