Ancient Roman’s were the first culture credited with developing the strong variety of barley from the wild weed barley true or false

Answer 1

False. While ancient Romans did cultivate barley and use it for various purposes, they were not the first culture credited with developing strong varieties of barley from wild barley. The domestication of barley is believed to have occurred in the Fertile Crescent around 10,000 years ago, long before the rise of Ancient Rome. Early agricultural societies in regions such as modern-day Turkey and the Levant were instrumental in the development and cultivation of barley.
