longshotgene Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I am working on a paper, and had a thought the other day. Where would one go if they were interested in finding a copy of a Roman census? That is, if one exists? Any ideas? Also, what information went on the census?

Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I am working on a paper, and had a thought the other day. Where would one go if they were interested in finding a copy of a Roman census? That is, if one exists? Any ideas? Also, what information went on the census? I came across THIS but remember to take into account the NOTE that is posted at the bottom of the screen........ Note: All the figures given are problematical, in various ways. First, there is the problem of the correct transmission of numbers in the manuscripts. Second, there is the issue of who precisely are being counted in each census. Third, there is the question as to whether complete census returns were ever made. Most authorities find it difficult to believe that statistics prior to 340 B.C. are anything but fictitious.
