  8. Poll 2: Which "invention" would have benefited the Roman Empire (until 395 AD) most?

  11. Planting trees in the Roman Empire

    Do you know if there was any big tree planting projects in the Roman Empire? If there wasn't, would such a tree planting project, supported by the emperor, have made any difference for the Empire's survival? I'm thinking along lines of stopping desertification, getting more material for...
