Tributum soli explained

The Tributum soli was a direct ancient Roman tax on agricultural land and possibly the equipment used to cultivate the land.^{[1] [2] [3]} The size of tax was determined based on the size and quality of the land,^{[4] [5] [6]} and the land was assessed using a census.^{[7] [8] [9]} Greek cities during the Roman Empire would appoint magistrates, usually called dekaprotoi.^[10] During the Roman Empire the Tributum soli was split into two taxes, the stipendium and the Tributum soli.^{[11] [12]} The difference between the two was that the stipendium was used in senatorial provinces, while the Tributum was used in imperial provinces.^{[13] [14]} In some areas it was a fixed sum paid in currency.^{[15] [16]} It was paid in kind and collected by the publicani in other provinces.^[17]
