Roman Empire - Aurelian is believed to have terminated Trajan's alimenta program
Time: 272
Place: Rome
Details: Aurelian is believed to have terminated Trajan's alimenta program. Roman prefect Titus Flavius Postumius Quietus was the last known official in charge of the alimenta, in 272 AD. If Aurelian "did suppress this food distribution system, he most likely intended to put into effect a more radical reform."
