Pliny the Elder (Latin: Gaius Plinius Secundus)

Pliny the Elder (Latin: Gaius Plinius Secundus) was a #Roman savant and author of the celebrated Natural History, an encyclopaedic work of uneven accuracy that was an authority on scientific matters up to the Middle Ages. Seven writings are ascribed to Pliny, of which only the Natural History is extant. There survive, however, a few fragments of his earlier writings on grammar, a biography of Pomponius Secundus, a history of Rome, a study of the Roman campaigns in Germany, and a book on hurling the lance. These writings probably were lost in antiquity and have played no role in perpetuating #Pliny’s fame, which rests solely on the #NaturalHistory.
