Agricola
William Emerton Heitland
How did the ancient world actually farm, and who did the labor? William Heitland sifts Greek and Roman evidence for land and labor, reading Homer, Hesiod, and the early poets for traces of serfdom and the working farm. A monumental scholarly excavation of antiquity's fields. Dig into the deep roots of Western agriculture with a masterful guide.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
