Fundanius

2. C. Fundanius was the father of Fundania, the wife of M. Terentius Varro. Fundanius is one of the speakers in Varro's first dialogue, De Re Rustica; and from the speech there assigned him, he seems to have been a scholar, and acquainted with at least the statistics of agriculture. His account of the increasing luxury of the Roman country-houses may be compared with that of Seneca. (Ep. B6G.) Fundanius was cited also by Varro in one of his philological treatises. (Varr. R. R. 1.2.13, Frag. p. 349, ed. Bipont.)
