Most of the inhabitants of the Roman world lived by farming. The
kinds of farming they practised varied as Roman domination spread
north of the Alps. This book deals with the tools they used, in all
their variety, and with the way they used them. It describes in
detail agricultural implements, both simple and complex, from
shovels, spades, saws and sickles to ploughs, harrows and reaping
machines. Each description carries full references to the sources
of information, including allusions in literature and the evidence
of monuments and mosaics. The book ends with a catalogue raisonne
of the implements illustrated in the text. The author uses
practical knowledge of agriculture, as well as learning, to
identify and interpret the objects under examination; this is,
literally, scholarship brought down to earth.
