I was worried it would contain something boring like tax records, but it's even worse than that. Fingers crossed it gets a little more interesting than the average social media post.

I'm pretty sure there are academics who would bite their own legs off for tax records from this period.

  Isn't that what most ancient Roman texts we do have are? Tax records.

    Do we have any or any significant number of Roman tax receipts? Most Roman/Greek texts that we have had to survive until ~1000 AD. If a text was available back then there is a reasonably good chance that we have it (or rather a medieval copy of it), why would anyone waste time copying tax receipts though?
