      ab: The article discusses the views of Lucius Iunius Moderatus Columella, a Roman writer, and Pliny the elder, a Roman naturalist and writer, on the poem "Georgics" about farming by Virgil, a Latin poet. The author has explored the possibility of Virgil being a poet rather than an authority on farming and his poem "Georgics" as a literary work rather than texts on agriculture. By following a line of arguments developed by writers, Eckhard Christman and M.S. Spurr, the author has examined the position of Virgil in ancient agricultural discourse and ways in which Columella and Pliny used poems of Virgil in their writings. The author has discussed the works of Columella and Pliny in the context of usage of quotations of Virgil and presented his various interpretations.
