Once the Romans conquered Egypt, they adopted the currently-existing taxation system. The government collected taxes on people, livestock, land, oil, olives, wine, beer, fish, and more. Nearly every business exchange was taxed. The most prominent tax in ancient Rome was the tributun, which was a tax on material wealth.

Answer:

The Roman tax system changed many times over the years, and varied quite a bit from region to region. Once the Romans conquered Egypt, they adopted the currently-existing taxation system. The government collected taxes on people, livestock, land, oil, olives, wine, beer, fish, and more. Nearly every business exchange was taxed. The most prominent tax in ancient Rome was the tributun, which was a tax on material wealth. Citizens of Rome did not need to pay this tax, aside from times of financial need, while all noncitizens living in the Roman territory were required to pay tributun on all their property.

It was fairly common for slave owners to free their slaves after a certain number of years and/or payment in Ancient Rome. Many slaves were ultimately able to pay the fee because they were able to work in several places, allowing them to earn the money used to obtain their freedom. Strangely enough, the Roman government required the newly freed slave to pay a tax on his or her own freedom.
