The author analysed his field of research by using the findings of history, archaeology, sociology and law. The work would be an interesting and useful reading not only for researchers in the field of financial law, but also for those, who are interested in the development of society and history. The monograph deserves special attention, because its niche content and furthermore also for its tight and clear style, logical structure and historical approach.
