@Galahad No the property values changed from time to time and this was taken into account with the census

Georgism is more rigid

And punishes large land owners

Sicily and Egypt were iirc two of the most valuable roman teritories

Yes

why sicily

Food

sorry for the questions im not an expert on this by any means

Massive grain production

Rome itself was basically a huge waste of money

ah that makes sense

i assume its because sicily was less mountainous that the italian mainland?

and better soil maybe

It's also one of the reasons they never conquerd Germany

Sicily has good land

They did but didn't hold on to it for very long afaik

Germany was econolicaly usless

Yeah

they never took all of "Germany"

I occupied is a better term

Germany could've been nice for pasturing possibly

But Romans weren't into that

But the forests

It became very good land

Eventually but it would've been a huge investment

But there was easier and more valuable land to conquer

Romans prolly could've stopped the dole and just sent out the proles to colonize instead

But they didn't because reasons

Yeah

I mean it's good because I'm German though

Yeah same

im watching you hans!
