Pliny the Younger → Trajan
Tradução moderna em inglês
To Trajan.
The free and allied city * of Amisus, thanks to your favour, enjoys its own special laws. I have enclosed with this letter, Sir, a memorial relating to their collections for the poor, that you may decide in what way the practice is to be permitted, to what lengths it may be carried, or where it should be checked.
[Note: Civitas foederata: a city whose autonomy was assured by a formal treaty.]
