نظام التموين في المقاطعات الرومانية : مقاطعة إفريقية أنموذجا

الملخص EN

Agriculture in general and grain cultivation in Italy have been subject to intense competition from their counterparts in Sicily and Sardinia.

Large quantities of grain arrived to Rome from these provinces in the form of the 'dime tax'.

Later on, Rome was to receive enormous quantities of wheat from Africa.

The ration system is constituted mainly of grain.

Subsequently, starting from the middle of the third century, 'bread' is introduced and there was also oil (from the time of Spitemosseverus 193-211 AD).

Moreover, from the time of "Orlianus" (270-275 AD) wine and dried fruits are also part of the rations.

The supply system in the Romanian districts in general and the African district in particular had two different objectives: 1.

Ensuring the provisioning of the Roman Army.

2.

Providing rations to cities and municipalities.

Therefore, the ration management system has become one of the most important departments on which Rome's stability depended.

Any delay in the arrival of supplies for any reason could cause an untenable socio-political disruption.
