5.0 out of 5 stars
Brings a slice of the Roman Empire to life,
By Ginevera (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cato: On Farming / De Agri Cultura (Paperback)
As someone who has always been fascinated with Roman history (blame it, or credit it, on Asterix titles!), I took classes on Roman social and imperial history at school and wrote two term papers on this title. If you want a primary source that brings a facet of Roman society to life, this treatise on how to run a farm, including how to treat your slaves, resolve disputes, bury your amphorae of olive oil, is an incredible document that pulls you right into the considerations and point-of-view of a Roman farmer from more than two thousand years ago.
