  • Fresh Water and Aqueducts
  • Yay, Fresh water!
  • Free Food
  • Food! We want food!
  • Everyone will get some food.
  • Entertainment
  • I want red team to win!
  • The aqueducts allow people in the city of Rome to get fresh water.
  • Work in the City
  • Grain was taken from farmers as a tax, and used to feed the poor in the city.
  • Taxing of Farmers
  • The Romans had almost every other day a holiday, so they didn't work half the year. They watched gladiator fights and chariot racing to keep themselves occupied.
  • Surpluses
  • Since they had every other day off, barely any work was finished. The city increasingly relied on other provinces for food because Rome could not produce enough.
  • Wasn't it a holiday just yesterday?
  • No work! Yay!
  • The farmers' surpluses were taken in the form of a tax, so that people in the city would not go hungry.
  • Give me your surplus-Emperor
  • The Empire needs your surplus.
  • The taken surplus would have been sold by the farmer, so the farmer would be angry about a government basically forcing farmers into poverty, and would see no point of growing a surplus.
  • Why should I even grow a surplus if it will just get taken away?
