DĒMOSIOS ZYGOS E IDIŌTIKOS ZYGOS: UN’INTERPRETAZIONE NUMISMATICA

A papyrus of the 6th century AD found at Antinoupolis allows us to reopen the controversy about the idiōtikos zygos and dēmosios zygos, offering new grounds for investigation and criticism of the currently prevailing scientific positions. In the papyrus you cannot set up the idiōtikos zygos as a tax, because there was no provision for public registration of that private document. This report aims to propose a new solution on the reasons that justify the idiōtikos zygos next to dēmosios zygos.
