1,600-Year-Old Roman Law Parchment Reveals Lost Tax Code
Perhaps the first pocket-sized legal handbook from ancient Rome known to exist has been translated from fifty scraps of animal leather preserved in the Penn Museum in Philadelphia for over 100 years. The leather parchment had previously survived in the Egyptian desert sands for 1,600 years and has now been found to contain laws about taxes, road repairs, grain supply, and how to use public buildings properly.
According to the report from University of Cincinnati, Matthijs Wibier, assistant professor at the University, has reconstructed and translated the Latin text from the leather sheets. The text represents something completely different from the usual formats of texts of common imperial law.
A Lost Legal Handbook from Roman Egypt
The Penn Museum’s manuscript collection features a variety of writings and manuscripts from Egypt meticulously written on papyrus, leather, and other mediums. Many other written documents survived in the region because of the dry conditions. These particular fragments of parchment were obtained from an Egyptian antiquities vendor back in 1911, but the Latin text had not previously been fully translated or matched to a known code. Wibier assembled the seven largest pieces out of a total of 50 different fragments, permitting researchers to reveal the form of a damaged two-sided leaf.
