Traditionally, Latin terms such as civitas stipendiaria and stipendiarii have served, in modern scholarly works, to defi ne Roman provincial subjects as regular and permanent taxpayers to the Roman Republic. However, this paper argues that alternative meanings for stipendiarius – not always related to Roman Republican taxation – may be uncovered from our literary and epigraphical evidence. When such texts are analysed in terms of their historical background, both the political and military dimensions of Roman Republican tax terminology appear to emerge.
