The manorial system became firmly established in the Middle Ages, about the time of Charlemagne. Its origins and most important characteristics, however, were in the villa system of the Roman Empire; the coloni of the villas were bound to the soil in the same way serfs were on manors, and the coloni and serfs had the same duties. The laws binding coloni to the soil were enacted by Constantine I in 330 AD.
The latifundia became common in the Roman Empire as a result of the decline of Roman moral values and the political corruption that resulted from the acquisition of wealth and power that the Empire brought. With the breakdown of the Pax Romana and the inability of Roman law to provide security, small landowners increasingly turned to larger, more powerful estates for security. Peasants turned over their land to the latifuncia and formed a new class called the coloni. The coloni became the forerunner of the servile class known as serfs in medieval Europe.
