- Abstract
A few documents of the Lombard Period (7th-8th centuries) mention specific lands known as case tributarie. Some of these were part of the Curtis Regia (i. e. the Fiscus), while others may have been owned by private individuals. All of them disappeared after the dissolution of the Lombard Kingdom. Their features have never been examined in depth: the case tributarie are generally considered an equivalent of the case massaricie, i. e. centres of agricultural production managed by tenant farmers. This hypothesis is in agreement with the most recent conclusions of scholars, who rule out the existence of general taxation in the Lombard Kingdom; however, the sources seem to suggest a different framework. By analysing these sources, we can access information of help in interpreting both the functions and the main features of the case tributarie, and in indicating some peculiar features of the Lombard administration. To achieve this aim, we first introduce the few surviving documents mentioning the case tributarie and analyse some of their principal features and problems. We then discuss the historiographical interpretations hitherto proposed. Finally, we suggest a different model, and its application to a specific case study.
