He supported Pompey, reaching the office of praetor, after having been tribune of the people, quaestor and curule aedile.[3] He was one of the commission of twenty that carried out the great agrarian scheme of Caesar for the resettlement of Capua and Campania (59 BC).[3] The most noteworthy portion of the Nine Books of Disciplines is its use of the liberal arts as organizing principles.[6] Varro decided to focus on identifying nine of these arts: grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, musical theory, medicine, and architecture. Varro was recognized as an important source by many other ancient authors, among them Cicero, Pliny the Elder, Virgil in the Georgics, Columella, Aulus Gellius, Macrobius, Augustine, and Vitruvius, who credits him (VII.Intr.14) with a book on architecture. ^ "Marcus Terentius Varro | Roman author". ^ "Marcus Terentius Varro | Roman author".	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1286.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1286.txt
