Abstract

This article tries to analyze the way the Roman army insured its provisioning in Germania, before the rural development of the border zone. It seems that the ecological conditions and the poor quality of native farming were not capable of meeting military needs. Therefore, the food for the troops, of which there were many in this period, relied on imports from Belgic Gaul. Their campaigns were subjected to heavy levying that generated revolts in the Ist century AD, until a reversal of the economic situation as from the Flavian period.
