  Tribute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A tribute (from Latin tribulum, contribution) is wealth one party gives to another as a sign of respect or, as was often case in historical contests, of submission or allegiance.
In China the tribute system began from the earliest days to provide both an administrative means to control vassals, as well as a means for which to provide exclusive trading rights to those who paid tribute from foreign regions.
Various medieval lords required tribute from their vassals or peasants, nominally in exchange of protection to incur the costs of raising armies, or paying for free-lance mercenaries against a hostile neighbouring state.

 Emigre Fonts: Tribute
Dalliance, a classic roman and script combo based on handwriting from a photocopy of a 1799 battle map, was released in 2002 and became an instant classic.
With Tribute, Heine followed a path similar to that of Dalliance by using a single printed source (a photo copy of a reprint of a type specimen printed around 1565) as its model.
He has challenged many traditional assumptions that we 'connoisseurs' of hand-cut type have maintained in our attitude toward the historical accuracy sought and loved and expected in 'revivals.' The result is a unique combination of caricature, homage, alchemy, and fanciful reinterpretation.

 tribute - Holman Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org
The imposition of tribute demonstrated the subservient status of the vassal state, thus undermining political autonomy and often causing financial weakness.
Imposing tribute was practiced widely and can be tracked back to before 2000 B.C. The tell el Amarna Letters from Canaanite kings after 1400 B.C. clearly reveal their vassal status to Egypt.
The heavy tribute paid by Hezekiah to Sennacherib about 701 B.C. was recorded in both biblical and Assyrian texts (2 Kings 18:13-16).
