La Annona Y La Politica Agraria Durante El Alto Imperio Romano

This study examines the various institutions, legal devices and policies by which the Roman Empire secured a regular supply of grain to the army and the city of Rome. Palomera shows that although overseen centrally by the annona these measures differed fundamentally from province to province from the Alimenta in Italy, to fiscal concessions to coloni in North Africa, and the more active political participation and control exercised by the city-states of the Greek speaking east.
