Roman and Greek air pollution

[TITVS SABATINVS AQVILIVS]

<br>
Sure Antonine, but the point is also: were the Romans the first people in the World to "take care" (with the due proportions and differences) of the envinronment?<br>
<br>
Did they understand for the first time that the envinronment of a civilized territory had to be "controlled" and not "wild" at all?<br>
<br>
Were they the first people to dedicate a regular and large scale organization like the Army to work on it(we know that the legions had more peace periods than war periods, so the "dedicate" term could have room in such case...)?<br>
