The Romans' biggest concern is that the city could run out of grain bought from across the sea, as option A shows.

Why did this concern exist?

  • Because grains were the main source of food for the Romans.
  • Most of these grains were imported from other countries.
  • Rome imported grain from Africa and Egypt.

With the ports blocked, the Romans did not have access to the grains that were imported from other countries and that constituted most of the Roman diet. This was very worrying as it could trigger a supply crisis.
