If I wanted to send a load of grain from England to Rome by ship in 100 AD, how long would that take? Where would I find a ship and crew? Do I need to pay any import or export fees? And does it matter if I wanted to send it in 100 BC instead, or in 600 AD?

Wikipedia says that during WW2 Budweiser made cans green so as to make them camouflaged for troops. was this just publicity stunt or were soldiers genuinely drinking in situations where they were at enough risk that they needed to be camouflaged?
