A Roman author of the 4th century A.D. He wrote a poem on agriculture (De re rustica ) in fourteen books, the material being derived from Columella and other earlier writers. The work is conveniently arranged, but far inferior in every other respect to that of Columella.

There is a modern German edition by Schmitt (Leipzig, 1898).
