Farming was associated with Cities in ancient culture
In ancient culture, farming and cities were closely associated. Farms were considered as the outlying areas of cities that the city protected. The farms produced economic abundance and wealth that allowed people in the city to specialize in music, art, and other forms of development. In the modern framework, there is a dichotomy between rural and urban areas, with farmland and cities as two separate entities. However, in ancient times, the farm and the city were seen as one unit, existing together. On the other hand, shepherding and animal domestication were associated with rural and migrating lifestyles, providing a main cultural opposition.
