Lex Caecilia de vectigalibus

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The lex Caecilia de vectigalibus was a Roman law passed in 60 BC, and proposed by the

port duties in Italy.[1][2]

The Senate wished to remove Nepos' name from the bill, and replace it with another, but this attempt failed.[3]

taxes on imported commodities from overseas were reimposed.
