Abstract: This paper aims to offer a short presentation of some of the main points one can make about taxation in Roman Egypt: information about the main taxes such as the poll tax or land taxes, as well as about tax collection or its consequences, with taxpayers running away from their obligations (ἀναχώρησις).
