Book Overview

""The Letters of the Younger Pliny First Series V1"" is a collection of letters written by the Roman author and statesman, Pliny the Younger. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume containing the first half of the letters. The letters are written in Latin and have been translated into English for modern readers. They provide a fascinating insight into the daily life and concerns of a wealthy Roman citizen during the 1st century AD. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including politics, literature, philosophy, religion, and personal matters. Pliny's correspondents include many important figures of his time, such as the historian Tacitus and the emperor Trajan. The letters are notable for their elegant style and vivid descriptions of Roman life, as well as for their historical value as a primary source for the period. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Rome, classical literature, or the art of letter writing.What treasures you have in your villas at Ocriculum, at Narnia, at Carsola and Perusia Even a bathing place at Narnia My letters--for now there is no need for you to write--will have shown you how pleased I am, or rather the short letter will which I wrote long ago. The fact is, that some of my own property is scarcely so completely mine as is some of yours.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
