Deigma
The corn exchange sets the price of food, and of starvation.Grain was the most important crop for human and animal consumption. Wheat, millet and barley were the staple crops. The Greeks struggled with grain production because of their poor soil and limited land area for agriculture, so trade in grain was essential. In Piraeus, Athens' port, grain would arrive by boat and be held in the Deigma on the famous colonnaded Makra Stoa. Merchants could inspect samples, or deigmata, of the imported crops on stalls made of reeds. It was a hot and dusty place teeming with bustling activity from dawn until dusk.
