Encyclopedia Britannica



TRIBUTE (Lat. tributurn, a stated payment, contribution)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 265 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRIBUTE (Lat. tributurn, a stated payment, contribution) , a sum of money or other valuable thing paid by one state or person to another state or person, either as an acknowledgment of submission, or as the price of peace or
protection
 . Hence, in a secondary sense, an offering to mark respect or gratitude.
Revenue
  by means of
tribute
  was one of the most characteristic forms of the
financial
  systems of ancient states. In imperial Athens large revenues were derived from the states of the Delian league (q.v.), while in both Carthage and Rome inferior or dependent districts and races were laid under contribution to a very considerable extent (see
FINANCE
 ).
The word
tribute
  was also applied in the
Roman
  republic to (1) certain extraordinary taxes, as opposed to the
ordinary
  vectigalia. Such, in particular, were certain property taxes, raised to meet the expenses of war. They were levied on all citizens alike, in proportion to the extent of a man's fortune, and varied according to the
total
  amount of
revenue
  to be raised. (2) To the
ordinary
  stipendium or tax of fixed amount paid either in money or in
kind
 , on property, trades, or as a poll-tax, raised in the
Roman
  provinces (see PROVINCE).
