Nothing New: Taxes
A recently discovered chunk of pottery in Egypt had a tax receipt written on the side of it, it burdened the pot owner with a 90 talent tax on his shipment. It was in Greek, the receipt, so we suspect it was a Greek merchant delivering his wares to Egypt. That is a gigantic sum of money, talents were worth 5-10000 drachmas which is half a man's earnings in 98 BC.
