The loss of Livy’s second decade and the scantiness of epigraphic evidence for fines at Rome prevent us from appreciating the significant role played by these sanctions between the third and the first century BC as sources of funding for public building activities. By re-con- sidering literary and epigraphic evidence, and comparing numerical data to census figures, this study aims to revaluate the economic impact of aedilician fines on Roman state finances, and more in general the scale of this practice.

Abstract
The loss of Livy’s second decade and the scantiness of epigraphic evidence for fines at Rome prevent us from appreciating the significant role played by these sanctions between the third and the first century BC as sources of funding for public building activities. By re-con- sidering literary and epigraphic evidence, and comparing numerical data to census figures, this study aims to revaluate the economic impact of aedilician fines on Roman state finances, and more in general the scale of this practice.
