Cato led a brilliant military and political career. His uncompromising moral convictions and fierce patriotism made him a legendary figure in Rome. Known as De re rustica or De agricultura, Rural Economy is the oldest surviving work in Latin prose and the only one by Cato that has survived intact. Composed of notes, advice, instructions, and precepts on agricultural techniques relating to cereal cultivation, meadows, viticulture, olive growing, arboriculture, and horticulture, it also covers many related subjects.
