About the author

the Younger Pliny

b. 61

A gifted Roman lawyer, imperial official, and letter-writer, he left one of the clearest firsthand windows into life under the early Roman Empire. His correspondence is especially prized for its vivid account of the eruption of Vesuvius and for the polished, personal voice that still feels strikingly modern.
