Abstract: The historiographical renewal concerning Ancient taxation requires taking the time for epistemological thoughts. There are many challenges to overcome in order to work on this field of study. The cross-reading of the papers in this dossier provides some leads for rethinking the relationship of historians to past works, to sources, as well as the most appropriate methodology. Transdisciplinarity and the attention paid to the contexts of production of the main bibliographical references are put forward as essential elements for progress without depending excessively on possibly questionable historiographical legacies.
