Money collection, especially in older documents also collection (money collection; money squeezing)

In general, the collection of amounts due. – In particular, since the 2nd century BC. Chr. in the Roman empire operated procedure of the state for the collection of the taxes. The respective city authorities, at that time rich (merchant) people, who had taken over an honorary office, became liable for the payment with their fortune, even with their life. The consequence of this was that – they in turn had to recover the money from the citizens and peasants, which led to revolts – as in Egypt in 172 BC – and riots, and – there were no longer any wealthy local (long-distance) merchants in the Roman Empire, but only the merchant (caupo) moving from place to place. – See collection, collection time, arrest money, collateral risk, collection, first, sad, lifting money, collection business, collection strategy, child deposit, customer, lazy, corpse deposit, pawn, pawnbroker, real security, excess, usury, payhouse.
