Note 520 — Chapter I · COLUMELLA AND AGRICULTURE
Reading edition
III. iii. 3: “Nomentana regio ... quam possidet Seneca uir excellentis ingenii atque doctrinae.” See discussion hereon in relation to Plin., N.H., XIV. (5), 49-51, by Barberet, De Columellae Vita et Scriptis, 1887, pp. 23-25. Cichorius, Röm. Studien, 1922, pp. 417-422, makes it probable that Columella served on the expedition to Cilicia Trachea in A.D. 36 (II. x. 18), and was at Rome in 41 (III. viii. 2).
