I'm pretty sure there are academics who would bite their own legs off for tax records from this period.

- kilroy123 3y agoIsn't that what most ancient Roman texts we do have are? Tax records.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoDo we have any or any significant number of Roman tax receipts? Most Roman/Greek texts that we have had to survive until ~1000 AD. If a text was available back then there is a reasonably good chance that we have it (or rather a medieval copy of it), why would anyone waste time copying tax receipts though?
