To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Foreign wines had great vogue for some time even after the consulate of Opimius [121 b.c], and up to the times of our grandfathers, although then Fa- lernian was already discovered.
In the second half of the last century of the Re- public and the first half of the first century B.C., this condition of things changed; Italian wines rose to great fame and demand, and took from the Greek the pre-eminence they so long had held. Finally, this pre-eminence formed one of the spoils of world conquest, ...and that not one of the meagrest. Phny, writing in the second half of the first century, says (bk. 14, ch. 11) : Among the eighty most celebrated qualities of wine made in all the world, Italy makes about two thirds ; therefore in this it outdoes other peoples.
The first wines that came into note seem to have been those of southern Italy, especially Falemian, and Julius Caesar seems to have done much to Wine in Roman History 199 make it known. Pliny tells us (bk. 14, ch. 15) that, in the great popular banquet offered to cele- brate his triumph after his return from Egypt, he gave to every group of banqueters a cask of Chian and an amphora of Falemian, and that in his third consulate he distributed four kinds of wine to the populace, Lesbian, Chian, Falemian, and Mamertine; two Greek qualities and two Italian.
