Om denne boken
"The Natural History of Pliny, Volume 5 (of 6)" by the Elder Pliny is an encyclopedic work first published in AD 77. This monumental Latin text compiles knowledge from across the ancient world, covering everything from geography and ethnography to zoology, botany, mining, and precious stones. The largest surviving work from the Roman Empire, it presents nature as a divine force serving humanity. Pliny died investigating Mount Vesuvius's eruption in AD 79 before completing his final revision, leaving his nephew to publish the remainder posthumously.
