Il lessico ‘fiscale' nella Geografia straboniana: equivoco esegetico o equipollenza semantica?

The dense comparison between a passage from Strabo’s Geography (13.1.27) and a patchy inscription from Ilium (Troad) allows not only to ascribe, with a good margin of safety, the epigraphic text to the age of Gaius Julius Caesar, but also to understand the high level of information of the Pontic geographer, his ability to rigorously examine the data and above all his scrupulous attention to the comparatio between juridical institutions of a ‘fiscal’ nature pre-existing to Roman rule and Greek words entered into Roman law and adopted in Hellenophonic contexts (ἀλειτουργησία/immunitas).

Keywords: Strabo, Ilium, Gaius Julius Caesar, immunitas
