Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the evolution of grain trade in Ancient Rome, with emphasis on the transition from private market mechanisms to public regulation. It will examine how Rome’s expanding population and political structures necessitated increasingly formal oversight, including the development of the annona system with the ultimate aim in producing food security and political stability.
