In order to rapidly end the crisis, the Senate proposed Augustus to oversee the purchase of grains. After initially being reluctant to do so, he finally accepted the role and had success ending with the crisis rapidly. It was not until 8 AD, that he decided to appoint a "praefactus annonae". A government official who would be in charge of overseeing the procurement of food supplies to Rome.
