The late antique economy is a combination of a monetary economy and a barter economy, which is reflected in the papyrological material. The Roman empire had to adapt itself to rapidly changing circumstances from the 3rd century onwards, the fiscal system from the reign of Diocletian onwards is a perfect example of the way the Romans adapted their economy to the new circumstances. The main focus in this thesis is on an archive of ca. 50 papyri from Oxyrhynchus , Egypt, called the archive of Papnuthis and Dorotheus; two brothers levying taxes in the Oxyrhynchite nome.Show less

Addedly, the research is mainly centered on the case studies of Myanmar and the Philippines, owing to their relevance to contemporary EU-ASEAN relations and current events. The case studies of are still an ongoing phenomenon and are thus relevant to examining the standing of current EU-ASEAN relations.Show less
