About the book
A prominent lawyer and administrator, pliny (c. Ad 61-113) was also a prolific letter-writer, who numbered among his correspondents such eminent figures as tacitus, suetonius and the emperor trajan, as well as a wide circle of friends and family. His lively and very personal letters address an astonishing range of topics, from a deeply moving account of his uncle's death in the eruption that engulfed pompeii, to observations on the early christians - 'a desperate sort of cult carried to extravagant lengths' - from descriptions of everyday life in rome, with its scandals and court cases, to pliny's life in the country.
