The Colonate in the East under Justinian (527/534-565/642) -- The Colonate in the year 438 in Theodosius' Code -- The Colonate in the East 438-527 -- The Colonate in the West 438-ca. 506 -- The Colonate between Theodosius' Code and Diocletian, and the third century (438-293/268/249).
The fourth and fifth centuries AD gave rise to a particular phenomenon in the Roman Empire: the colonate. The colonate involved the fiscal regulation of a relationship of surety between landowners and farmers in the later Roman Empire and played a major role in agrarian and social relations, with implications for these farmers' freedom of movement and transmission of status. This study provides a clear and comprehensive reassessment of the legal aspects of the phenomenon, embedding them as far as possible in their social and economic contexts.
