A little about the book
This instalment of Pliny’s encyclopaedia moves through insects and plants. It records inherited reports alongside observations, giving a reader a sense of what a Roman compiler thought worth saving.
Read by topic and notice how different kinds of authority sit beside one another. A surprising claim can reveal as much about the reach of Roman reading as about the creature being described.
