In the outlying parts of the empire food shortages could be the result of bad growing conditions, such drought, floods or natural disasters. The provinces also had to provide food for both the men and animals of an army passing through.

Rome itself was dependent on imported grain because of its size. If the grain flow was interrupted, such as the blockade by Sextus Pompey, the entire city suffered.
