The staple food in Rome was grain. The poor could only afford to eat grain-based food. The Roman state distributed a free grain dole to the poor. Rome imported huge amounts of grain to feed her massive population. Half of this came from Egypt, the breadbasket of the empire. Tunisia, Sicily and Sardinia were the other important suppliers.
