619:, a British historian and sociologist, has argued that the ancient Roman tax economy contributed to urbanization by creating a system where natural resources were taxed in kind by Rome, supplying resources and trade to the city, and then these goods were sold to bring back wealth to the exporter. Taxpayer money was often abused in ancient Rome. Instead of funding public projects or internal improvements, it was often used for the more selfish pursuits of bureaucrats. Hopkins argues that the tax collection systems of the Roman Empire funneled wealth into an aristocratic class, which was then primarily used to fund the

The Roman government would set a fixed amount of wealth each region needed to pay in taxes, while the magistrates were tasked with determining who would pay the taxes, and how much they would each pay.
