Book Synopsis
Cato’s second century BC De agricultura is our earliest complete Latin prose text, recommends farming for its security and profitability, and advises on management of labor and resources. Varro’s De re rustica is not a practical treatise but instruction, in dialogue form, about agricultural life meant for prosperous country gentlemen.
