ResumoThe evidence of Historia Augusta, Vita Aureliani 48, is unreliable; Aurelian did not found the public wine allowance to the plebs annonaria, which was initiated in a later time, probably in the interval between Diocletian and Constantine. The sale of public wine at prices linked to free market prices resulted in heavy tensions, whose echo is audible in the Historia Augusta, opposing the mass of urban consumers and the Roman senators who had control on the staples. Most probably the wines of the fiscus were delivered in the inns (cauponae), and not in the Temple of Sol, as most authors sustained. The end of the distributions of wine takes place between the Gothic reign and the byzantine reconquista.
