Synopsis
Excerpt from Rome's Fall Reconsidered
Let us therefore go and see how the great agricultural scholars of the time analyzed the situation. Let us read thoughtfully the writings of Columella. He was writing under the Princi pate, about 60 A. D. How does he begin his work? The preface begins: I frequently hear the most illustrious men of our country complaining that the sterility of our soil and intemperate weather have now for many ages past been diminishing the productivity of the land. Others give a rational background to their complaints, claiming that the land became tired and exhausted from its productivity in the former ages, and hence the soil is no longer able to furnish sustenance to mortals with its former liberality.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges traditional assumptions on the fall of the Roman Empire, presenting a compelling exploration of the factors that led to Rome's decline. The author argues that the central cause was the progressive exhaustion of the soil, which led to a decline in agricultural productivity and ultimately to the depopulation and political instability that brought about the empire's collapse. The author also examines the interplay between economic, social, and political factors in the empire's decline, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis. By shedding new light on the complexities of Rome's fall, this book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of one of history's most enduring empires.
