Lex Portus

The stone stele containing the carved text of Lex Portus Asiae, adopted by the Roman emperor Neron in 62 AD, was discovered in Ephesus in 1976. That was the first known law on customs duties (portorium) for land and sea trade in the Roman province of Asia.

155 lines contained the Greek translation of the Latin customs law regulating the relationship between tax debtors, customs collectors, and Roman treasury, procedures of duty calculation, payment and enforcement, and customs immunities.
