The Golden Gate Customs House

lat_the_golden_gate_customs_house_advance

The Latin Emperors have moved beyond feudal levies and now rely on a sophisticated system of maritime tariffs and transit duties. Every ship passing through the Dardanelles or the Bosporus must stop at the Imperial Customs House, where the 'Tenth of the Emperor' is collected in hard coin. This vast income allows the Empire to maintain a professional, standing army that does not rely on the whims of the nobility.
