Breadbasket of Rome

cth_breadbasket_of_rome

The hinterland of Carthage (the fertile plain of the Medjerda, the slopes of Cape Bon, and the olive groves of the Sahel) earned our region the title of horreum imperii under Roman rule, supplying a third of the imperial grain dole, the bulk of its olive oil, and the cheap amphorae wines that Roman commentators sneered at but bought by the shipload anyway. Our agricultural treatises by Mago the Carthaginian taught the Roman estates how to graft fig trees, press olives, and train drought-resistant vines at industrial scale, and the great rural villas of antiquity now form the foundations of our new mechanized presses, threshing yards, and wine cellars. This Punic-Roman agricultural inheritance, restored under modern industrial conditions, gives Carthage olive and Wine yields that no fresh plantation in the Mediterranean basin can match.
