Why can't I build Latifundia in Italy?

[Aemilius Paulus]

Hmm, odd. You need the "Grant of Land" and "Colonial Farming" buildings before you can build the "Agricultural Estates" building. Once you have those, you need a "Small Market" to finally build the "Latifvndia". Make sure your Italic cities have those buildings. Other than that, I do not know.

EDIT: Ooops, gotta be faster next time.

To get any building requirements, put the browser over the building- it will enumerate all necessary precursor buildings.

In your particular case you are missing this building

farms+2, I don't remember the in game description but its the farm that costs 7200 mnai and takes 12 turns to build.

Since the AI already built them in greece so you can build Latifundia there.

Ps. pardon the uncouthnness of my reply, am suffering from a severe case of flu.

What Aemilius Paulus said. Plus, the settlement has to be a city.

Latifundia is not in the same building tree as the vanilla one. Vanilla latifundia was the best farming building, here it represents the highest level of land-owning (Grant of Land - Estates- Large Estates)
