<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Archeocultura, post: 3729682, member: 97204&quot;]Annona is the devine personification of the regular supply of corn to Rome fron Sicily and later, from Northern Africa; the modius is one of her fixed attributes, as are the corn ears and rudder (the trade and supply overseas). The merchants of the corn resided in Ostia, where you can find many mosaics referring to the corn trade. No emperor could afford famine in the capital, so that&#039;s why there are so many Annona coins during Antoninus&#039; reign. The modius, in which the amount of corn was measured, was one of her fixed attributes. <u>[ATTACH=full]999977[/ATTACH] </u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
