Improved Drainage

After the destruction of Carthage much of its literature was destroyed by the Romans, with the exception of one man's works. Mago was a Carthaginian writer whose 28 books on agriculture were thought to have played a large role in Carthage’s thriving agricultural economy. No copies of his original works have survived to this day but extracts survive through the Greek and Roman translations commissioned by Cassius Dionysius and Decimus Junius Silanus.
