== Origins ==
The Position originates back to Imperial Roma, where taxes were collected from individuals based on the value of their total property. However, since it was extremely difficult to facilitate the collection of the tax, thus the government auctioned the collection of taxes every year.
The winning tax farmers (landlords) paid the tax revenue to the government in advance and then kept the taxes collected from individuals. The landlords paid the tax revenue in coins, but collected the taxes using barter trade, thus relieving the government of the work to carry out the currency conversion themselves.
Derived from Imperial Roma History, the designation was founded during the Andal Expansion of Sternlands.

Historically taxes were collected directly by the King or ruler of a State. As states and administrative regions grew larger this task was outsourced to aristocrats or dedicated tax collectors.
