Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of the Roman Empire's civil service during its formative years in the first and second centuries AD. The author meticulously examines the evolution of this bureaucratic system, shedding light on its origins, structure, and the individuals who shaped its development. Emerging from the ashes of the Republic's financial shortcomings, the imperial civil service played a pivotal role in managing the vast and complex fiscal affairs of the empire. The narrative traces the shift from the traditional reliance on publicani (private tax collectors) to a more centralized system of direct tax collection under the emperor's control. The author expertly navigates through the intricacies of provincial taxation, exploring the transition from fixed payments (stipendium) to a land-based tax (tributum) and the introduction of various indirect taxes. Central to the book's exploration is the rise of the procurators, equestrian officials who served as the emperor's agents in financial matters. The author delves into the evolving roles and responsibilities of these procurators, highlighting their significance in the administration of both the imperial treasury (fiscus) and the emperor's personal wealth (patrimonium). The nuanced relationship between the emperor and the fiscus is examined, raising questions about the balance between public duty and private interest in the management of state finances. By meticulously analyzing historical sources and inscriptions, this book offers invaluable insights into the Roman Empire's financial and administrative framework. The author's comprehensive approach provides a deeper understanding of how the imperial civil service shaped the empire's governance and its lasting impact on the course of Roman history.
