Statue of Columella, holding a sickle and an ox-yoke, in the Plaza de las Flores, Cádiz Lucius Junius Moderatus Columella (/ˌkɒljəˈmɛlə/) was a Roman writer on agriculture in the Roman Empire.
His De re rustica in twelve volumes has been completely preserved and forms an important source on Roman agriculture and cuisine, together with the works of Cato the Elder and Marcus Terentius Varro, both of which he occasionally cites. A smaller book on trees, De arboribus, is usually attributed to him.
