Decision · Roman Decisions

Reinstate the Grain Dole

Introduce bread distributions to the people of the capital

For centuries, the citizens of Rome, and later Constantinople, enjoyed the highest benefit of living in the Capital of the World: regular distributions of free or price-controlled bread. The tradition was lost together with the Granary of Rome — Egypt — but any Emperor to reinstate it would immediately increase their popularity with the masses.
