Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the colonate, an agricultural system involving permanent tenants tied to the land, in the Roman Empire from the 2nd to the 4th century. The author argues that the system likely originated from imperial estates where it proved successful and was subsequently adopted more widely. The book highlights how the coloni, who initially leased land under ordinary contracts, came to hold their land indefinitely under fixed conditions through a 'perpetual agreement'. The book also traces how over time the coloni became legally bound to the soil, likely due to economic and political factors favoring a more stable and controlled workforce. Ultimately, the book shows how the colonate system significantly influenced Roman society and law, providing insights into the complex relationship between land tenure, labor, and state power in the late Roman Empire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
