Columella, a prominent Roman writer, was known for his expertise in agriculture during the Roman Empire. His notable work “De re rustica” in twelve volumes is a valuable source on Roman agriculture, often referencing the works of Cato the Elder and Marcus Terentius Varro. He is also credited with a smaller book on trees, “De arboribus.” In recognition of his contributions, Spanish botanists named a genus of Peruvian asterid after him. Columella dedicated his professional life to advancing knowledge and practices in agriculture, leaving a lasting impact on the field.
