Rome practiced tax farming. Basically they said we need X amount from X province and would hold a bid to private contractors . The highest bidder got the contract, and would gather X amount of wealth based on property (land, livestock, chattel etc) though the rich hardly paid taxes(basically the same as today in the US) and the tax farmers would take a little extra for profit. This often led to poor farmers losing their lands because they could not afford the extra on the taxes.

Viking Gamer that's surprisingly cyberpunk in concept. Do you know any books where I can read more about this?

E_Chu_Taa I’d really have to go through my books but I do have a video link
