The extant letters of Pliny, written between AD 97 and 112, give us a unique insight into Imperial Rome under the early Antonine emperors. Organised into 10 books, the letters reflect a wide range of topics, mirroring Pliny’s own public and private interests. Among many other subjects, the letters also include an eye-witness account of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, with the final book containing the exchange of letters between the writer (whose career culminated as Governor of Bithynia) and the emperor Trajan. A fascinating document of the career and interests of a politician and imperial official.

The complete letters of PLINIUS (the Younger) !!!A must for History-readers - who want detailed information about a famous senators life - about 100 years after CICERO’s republican letters.Two very different nobles, two very different men - extremely interesting.
