200 BCE
Roman farm implements, including the plow, reaper, hoe, and sickle, have iron parts.
Roman farmers cultivate wheat, barley, and millet, keep vineyards, and raise livestock; the average farmer is independent and owns about four to fifteen acres (1.8 to 6.1 hectares).
After 200, wealthy Romans begin to acquire public lands, setting to work them enslaved people, now greatly abundant due to the Roman victory in the Second Punic War.
