Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

The fertile valley south of Venusia is dotted with small farms and orchards where residents grow vegetables, grains, and fruits. This low-lying area benefits from runoff from the surrounding mountains, making it productive for crops. The valley farms ensure food security for Venusia, supporting both residents and stationed soldiers. The farms reflect the city’s agrarian roots and add to its economic base, allowing the settlement to sustain itself and contribute to Roman supply lines.
