Book Overview
Epistolae, Volume 2 presents a collection of letters by Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, known as Pliny the Younger, a prominent Roman administrator, orator, and writer. This volume offers a unique window into the daily life, political intrigues, and social customs of the Roman Empire during the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD.
Pliny's letters cover a wide range of topics, from personal anecdotes and philosophical reflections to detailed accounts of historical events, such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the persecution of Christians. His eloquent prose and keen observations provide valuable insights into the mindset of the Roman elite and the challenges they faced. Edited by Caspar Gottschling, this edition ensures accessibility and accuracy for modern readers, preserving the historical and literary value of Pliny's correspondence.
