The Abuses of Exactores and the Laesio Enormis – a Few Remarks

Abstract

The text discusses in detail the emperor’s constitution concerning the abuses of tax collectors in Africa (CTh, X, 17, 3 = CJ, IV, 44, 16 – a. 391/392), arguing against associating it with the idea of laesio enormis developed in the Middle Ages.
