Public Rights Of Roman Citizens
The jus tributorum was the payment of a tax by each individual through the tribes, in proportion to the valuation of his estates. There were three kinds of tribute, one imposed equally on each person; another according to his property; and a third exacted in cases of emergency. There were three other kinds of taxes, called portorium, decumę and scriptura. The portorium was paid for goods exported and imported, the collectors of which were called portitores, or for carrying goods over a bridge. The decumę were the tenth part of corn and the fifth part of other fruit, exacted from the cultivators of the public lands, either in Italy or without it. [24] The scriptura was paid by those who pastured their cattle upon the public lands. The jus saffragii was the right of voting in the different assemblies of the people. The jus honorum was the right of being priests or magistrates, at first enjoyed only by the Patricians. Foreigners might live in the city of Rome, but they enjoyed none of the rights of citizens; they were subject to a peculiar jurisdiction, and might be expelled from the city by a magistrate. They were not permitted to wear the Roman dress. |
