A more thorough explanation:

VENDITAE

Venditae (pronounced ven-duh-tee) is a historical tax that was imposed on goods sold in markets and public fairs. The term comes from the Latin word "vendere," which means "to sell."

During the Middle Ages, vendors who sold their goods in markets and fairs were required to pay a venditae tax to the local authorities. For example, if a farmer sold his crops at a market, he would have to pay a percentage of his earnings as venditae tax.

Another example of venditae tax is the tolls that were collected on roads and bridges. People who used these roads and bridges had to pay a fee, which was used to maintain the infrastructure.

The examples illustrate how venditae tax was imposed on goods and services that were sold in public places. This tax was used to generate revenue for the local authorities and to maintain public infrastructure. The tax was a way for the government to regulate commerce and ensure that vendors were paying their fair share.
