Athens primarily relied on a combination of local agriculture and imported goods for its food supply. While the region around Athens produced grains, olives, and grapes, the city also depended heavily on trade to acquire essential commodities like wheat, which was often sourced from regions like Egypt and the Black Sea. The development of a strong naval fleet facilitated this trade, allowing Athens to maintain a steady food supply to support its population. Additionally, fish and other marine resources from the Aegean Sea contributed significantly to the Athenian diet.
