The praefectus annonae Prefect of the Provisions was a Roman Empire Roman imperial official charged with the supervision of the Grain supply to the city of Rome grain supply to the city of Rome . Under the Roman Republic republic , the job was usually done by an aedile . However, in emergencies, or in times of extraordinary scarcity, an individual would be elected to the office, and would take charge of supplying the entire city with provisions. The first individual was appointed to this office in 439 BC. ref Liv. IV.12 Niebuhr, Hist. of Rome, ii. p418 ref During the early 60s BC, following the sacking of the port of Ostia Antica Ostia by pirates, Pompey held the powers of the office. Around 7 BC, the first Roman Emperor , Augustus , followed this example, and after vesting himself with these powers, specified that two former praetor s should be appointed every year to carry out the functions of this office. Augustus transferred powers from the aedile to this office, and specified that all holders of this office be members of the Equestrian order . Augustus also specified that these officers were to be aided by an adjutor from the 2nd century the subpraefectus . Later, Augustus specified that these individuals must be of Roman consul consular rank. After Augustus reign, one individual would usually hold this office, ref Dion Cass. LII.24 Dig. 1 tit. 2 s.2 33 14 tit. 1 s.1 18, tit. 5 s.8 48 tit. 2 s.13 ref and this continued until the fall of the Roman Empire.

He was praefectusurbi in 414, ref CIL 6 1659 , CIL 6 1703 ref succeeding his friend Rutilius Namatianus , and possibly again in 426.
