A lot of information about Rome in the first century AD has come to us thanks to the letters of Pliny the Younger (c. 61-113/114). After the early death of his father, he was adopted by his uncle, Pliny the Elder, creator of the famous “Natural History”. The young man received an excellent education, which later allowed him to occupy significant positions in Rome and the provinces. He practiced as a lawyer under three emperors - Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. He corresponded with the latter, as well as with his learned contemporaries - Suetonius, Martial, Tacitus. Pliny the Younger himself compiled the letters into books for publication, probably recognizing the historical importance of this evidence. So an inquisitive reader today, almost two thousand years later, can learn from them about the first Christian communities, about the eruption of Vesuvius in August 79, which cost the life of Pliny the Elder, about the everyday details of Roman life, about the structure of government and much more. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
