In I, Claudius 067972477X, Claudius talks about corn shipments. But I believe that corn was domesticated in the New World, and could not have been grown in the Mediterranean or Europe until 1500. Is this right?
I have a question about I, Claudius. In the book, Claudius talks about corn shipments. But I believe that corn was domesticated in the New World, and could not have been grown in the Mediterranean or Europe until 1500. Is this right?
Yes, you're correct. Corn, also known as maize, originated in the Americas and was not introduced to Europe until after the discovery of the New World in the late 15th century.
