Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

Fertile lands just outside Venusia where locals cultivate wheat, barley, and olives, supported by the mild climate of the southern Apennines. These fields are farmed by small landowners and tenants. Agriculture forms the backbone of Venusia’s economy, providing sustenance and surplus produce for trade, while strengthening the community’s self-sufficiency to support the stationed military garrisons.

Vast, rolling fields of golden wheat and emerald barley stretching under a clear blue sky, dotted with olive trees swaying gently in the breeze, with small rustic cottages and distant silhouettes of farmers tending to their crops.
