Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Civil Tier 7

Land Tenancy

The Empire is vast. In every corner, a new fruit, a new fig, a new market to be exploited.

Within the Roman Empire, the diversity of climates spanning its vast holdings ranged from Mediterranean warmth to frigid Balkan forestry, and with this came a wide variety of agricultural output. Although wheat was always the primary crop in the ancient world, barley, rye and oats were also popular - especially in more northern, arid locales. Luxury items, such as olives and wine, were the key financial crops and brought in the most money. The diversity of the crops grown was used both internally and externally, sustaining populations as well as being transported, where possible, to trading partners. Crop production on this scale was managed by handing land over to tenants for intensive farming. Since land ownership was the key distinguishing factor between aristocrats and commoners, the right people – good Romans, often veteran soldiers – were awarded land as pensions, that their sons and grandsons might become the landowning class of future generations. Although the practice wasn't officially continued once the barbarian kingdoms took over former Imperial lands, warriors loyal to their king might expect land as a reward for service, even if the accompanying title meant very little compared to its Roman equivalent.
