Term: communibus annis
Definition: Communibus annis is a Latin term that means "on the average of years" or "on the annual average." It is often used in historical contexts to describe something that is typical or average over a period of time. For example, if we say that the money earned from corn rents is communibus annis almost double the rents reserved in money, we mean that over time, the income from corn rents is usually twice as much as the income from rents paid in money.
communibus annis
Communibus annis means "on the average of years" or "on the annual average." It is a Latin term used in history.
According to William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, "the money arising from corn rents is, communibus annis, almost double to the rents reserved in money." This means that over the course of several years, the income from renting out land for growing corn is usually twice as much as the income from renting out the same land for money.
Another example of using communibus annis might be in analyzing the average rainfall in a certain area over a period of years. By looking at the communibus annis rainfall, scientists can determine the typical amount of rain that falls in that area each year.
These examples illustrate how communibus annis is used to describe something that happens on average over a period of time, rather than just in one specific year.
