古代羅馬大地產制

大地產拉丁語:latifundium) [1]是人們對古代羅馬境內大型私有土地的稱呼。羅馬帝國對外出口的穀物橄欖油葡萄酒都來自這些大型私人土地。這些土地上的勞動力主要是奴隸。很多人通過購買、承租公有地形成了自己的大面積私人土地。格拉古兄弟改革期間曾限制佔有公有地,這時期大地產制的發展一度受阻。不過2至5世紀地中海地區主要的土地所有制形式依舊是大地產制。[2]

To the linguistic evidence presented by K.D. White, (Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies 14 [1967:62-79]), who found only seven instances of the rare word latifundia in Roman texts, Van Hooff added five more instances in "Some More Latifundia" Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte 31,1 (1st Quarter 1982:126-128), and found that two were "in a neutral, almost technical way" (p. 128).
