Columella (first century CE) included Cato and Varro among many sources for On Agriculture, but his personal experience was paramount. Written in prose except for the hexameters on horticulture of Book 10, the work is richly informative about country life in first century CE Italy.
Columella's treatise offers an extensive account of ancient agricultural practices, emphasizing the self-sufficiency of large Roman farms. His work reflects a deep understanding of earlier agricultural writings and addresses contemporary concerns about sustainable farming in the face of population growth. This translation includes selected books, maintaining original line numbers for reference. Columella, a notable figure among Spanish Latin writers, provides insights that resonate with modern discussions on organic and holistic farming methods.
