Upon returning from war, many of the veterans had accumulated enough money to move into the urban areas. This caused the sale of farmland to aristocrats who began building large farmsteads similar to plantations. These large farms grew cash crops such as olives and grapes. This caused the Italian Peninsula to import gains to feed the citizens. Rome began buying grain and selling it at a reduced price to its urban citizens who were not able to grow sustenance crops. This measure helped but many of Rome's poor were still unable to feed themselves. To solve this issue and gain favor among the plebeians, a new program was instituted providing free grain to starving Romans.
