The Abuses of Exactores and the Laesio Enormis – a Few Remarks
Journal Title: Studia Ceranea. Journal of the Waldemar Ceran Research Centre for the History and Culture of the Mediterranean Area and South-East Europe - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue
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.
