Detailed explanation-1: -The Romans improved crop growing by irrigating plants using aqueducts to transport water. Mechanical devices aided agriculture and the production of food. Extensive sets of mills existed in Gaul and Rome at an early date to grind wheat into flour.
Detailed explanation-2: -Farming was a popular profession because adequate food and crop production were one of the foundations of the Roman economy. The food produced on farms fed both its citizens and militia. Agriculture was highly esteemed in ancient Rome and the majority of citizens who produced consumable goods were farmers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ancient Greek city-states were separated from each other by hilly countryside and all were near the water. Rome was inland, on one side of the Tiber River, but the Italic tribes (in the boot-shaped peninsula that is now Italy) did not have the natural hilly borders to keep them out of Rome.
Detailed explanation-4: -In ancient Rome, farming was a big role because Rome was a large population and it needed a large food supply. In Roman times, if you lived in the country, you were a farmer. Most people in the Roman world were farmers. Some who worked on the farm were slaves but most were free.
