Palmyra (Empire Divided) Economy Tier 4

Egyptian Grain

The province of Aegyptos was by far the wealthiest Roman province in the east. It was the primary supplier of grain for the Empire, which grew increasingly dependent on its production. Although most of the agricultural advancements in the ancient world were introduced by the Romans, the simple truth was that they couldn’t feed themselves. Written records indicate that more than 8 million bushels of grain were imported from Aegyptos on an annual basis. By the end of the 3rd century AD, the needs of the Empire exceeded even the capacity of the fertile fields of the Nile. To combat this food crisis, new reforms established a tighter control over production, which led to an increased number of exports at the expense of the overworked Egyptian people – the grain must flow!
