1 Columella, Lucius Iunius Moderatus
SUBJECT AREA: Agricultural and food technology[br]b. first century AD Gades (now Cádiz), Spaind. first century AD Tarentum (now Taranto), Italy[br]Spanish writer on agricultural practice during the Roman era.[br]Columella was a native of Gades, a Roman municipium in southern Spain. The only knowledge of him is through his writings, in which he makes reference to his uncle, but not to his parents. His uncle was an expert farmer of the region, and it would appear that Columella spent much of his youth with him. As an adult he moved near to Rome, and spent the rest of his life in that region, owning at least three farms in Latium, and a fourth probably near the Etruscan town of Caere. There is evidence that he visited Syria in Cilicia, where it is possible that he was doing military service. His fame lies in the twelve books of the Res Rustica, which provide the most detailed extant discussion of Roman agricultural practice, and a single volume on trees. Each volume of Res Rustica was addressed and sent to Publius Silvinius as it was completed. The single volume De Arboribus, dealing with trees, vines and olives, was addressed to Epruis Marcellus. Columella was quoted by Seneca (4 BC-65 AD) and Pliny the elder (23–79 AD).[br]Bibliography1941, Res Rustica, Vols I–IV, trans. H.Boyd; Vols V–XII, trans.
