I have written an abstract already, I would like the paper to follow what I included in my abstract. The argument I am making is that the aliments system is put in place in ancient Rome to battle against demographic decline.
Abstract:
The main goal of the Roman Empire in putting into place the “aliment” system was to slow the demographic decline throughout Italy. The alimenta was a government run philanthropy system in imperial Rome that aimed to feed the poorer children of the empire. This program was funded through interest from loans on land given to Italian landowners. The system was not in place throughout the entire Roman Empire but merely throughout Italy. It is implemented during a time in which the population of the neighboring cities of Rome is declining partly due to poorer Roman families being unable to keep their children alive. The alimenta provided food and other resources to these impoverished children, allowing for population increases and more Roman manpower.
Please present research on what the alimentas is and how it functioned in Imperial Rome. Please also present research on demographic decline in the Roman Empire. Then please thoroughly argue my thesis that the alimentas system, while it was good, was mainly put in place to combat this demographic decline and raise manpower for the empire.
