Book • 1934

Marcus Terentius Varro

Cato's 'De Agri Cultura' is the oldest surviving work of Latin prose, providing practical advice on farming and rural management.

Varro's 'Rerum Rusticarum' is a more detailed work, covering agriculture, animal husbandry, and other aspects of country life.

Both works are invaluable for understanding ancient Roman agricultural practices.
