Aurum coronarium

The aurum coronarium ( agr. Στεφανικόν, στεφανωτικόν, στεφανικὸν χρυσίον), literally "crown gold", was one that emerged from the Greek Ehrbezeugungspraxis by crowning or wreath presentation duty in the Hellenistic monarchies and - in Rome by the victorious Republican - mediated by these imperatores and was later levied by the principes as an event-related, regularly collectable tax, without ever completely losing the character of a voluntary gift.
