Las Urbes romanas estaban llenas de artesanos y men performing a number of offices to make the food each day.
Although some estimates have estimated that the percentage of slaves living in the city of Rome, reached 30% of the population, there were a number of free men who must work to survive, although there were a lot of unemployed loitered in the streets doing nothing and living at the expense of wheat quota to the state provided each month.
Some historians estimate that about 150,000 thousand men over age 10 receiving these allocations of power in the city of Rome, but this was not enough to feed an average family of 3. Of these, many of these unemployed should manage to complement what they needed.
