•  School voucher

  A school voucher, also called an education voucher, is a certificate issued by the government which parents can apply toward tuition at a private school, rather than at the public school to which their child is assigned. Under non-voucher education systems citizens who currently pay for private schooling are still taxed for public schools. Vouchers are intended to allow citizens to offset this extra cost, without a direct tax credit or deduction.

•  Grain supply to the city of Rome

  The megalopolis of ancient Rome could never be fed entirely from its own surrounding countryside, especially as this region was increasingly used to produce fruit, vegetables and other perishable goods, and also taken up with the villas and parks of the aristocracy. The city therefore became increasingly reliant on grain supplies from other parts of Italy (notably Campania) and from elsewhere in the empire (particularly the provinces of Sicily, North Africa and Egypt).
