This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting a tax collecting scene from the Gallo-Roman era. Created in the 2nd century AD, this stone carving offers a fascinating glimpse into the financial practices of that time. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship are evident as we observe the tax collector diligently recording accounts on his desk. With an air of authority, he sits amidst stacks of books and scrolls, meticulously counting and documenting every transaction. The atmosphere is filled with tension as individuals gather around the table to pay their taxes. Their expressions range from resignation to frustration, highlighting the burden of taxation during this period. The Gaulish people depicted in this artwork stand as symbolic representations of those who were subject to Roman rule. Through this image, we gain insight into ancient finance and taxation systems, reminding us that these concepts have been present throughout history.
