Discuss the process by which both free farmers and slaves tended to become coloni in the late empire
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The significance of this development is that it was an integral part of medieval manorialism/feudalism, so make sure that students grasp the concept now. During the late empire, the rents of the coloni (future serfs) could still be paid in money; in early medieval times, they were almost always paid in crop shares.
