Hello,
So I'm trying to remember the name of an ancient leader who planted fruit trees along the public ways so that the poor could eat. I want to say it was an individual from a near-eastern civilization.
I'm afraid that is all I can remember about the story.
If you can help, let me know.
Thanks.
King Ashoka (304–232 BCE) of the Maurya dynasty in India.
Along roads I have had wells dug and trees planted for the benefit of humans and animals.
