Roman Month
text:
The Roman Month was a basic unit of imperial taxation in the Holy Roman Empire, initially worth around 128,000 Rhenish guilders when the underlying tax was created in 1521 by the emperor Charles V, equivalent to a month's wages for around 4,202 cavalry and 20,063 infantrymen. It gained this title due to its initial purpose of providing for one month's escort for the King of the Romans' trip to Rome to be crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope, though it was rarely, if ever, used for this purpose
