Talk:Grain supply to the city of Rome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Article needs subdividing and improving. Also links need to be made on the History of Rome page and the pages of corn producing provinces. Neddyseagoon 17:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)neddyseagoon
- Since this article doesn't really have anything to do with Roman cuisine, but is rather about Roman economic history, I removed the food category.

[edit] There was no corn in pre Colombian Europe
The references to corn need to be removed from this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mannsha (talk • contribs) 07:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
Agreed, I have changed the reference to wheat and grain. Not sure what to do about the link to the corn-dole article. The references I've run into on the web describe egyptian cereal agriculture as consisting of barley and emmer wheat during pharaonic times, and simply 'wheat' during the Ptolemies.
