Pliny was a generous donor to Comum as an adult, building a library and baths and contributing funds. It is unlikely that he was able to travel to the distant Transpadana very often as a senator. Pliny’s donations took place in a context of the con

Modern biographies of ancient individuals focus on emperors and generals, as a form of political or military history. A biography of a ‘private’ individual like Pliny raises more urgently the question of the distorting effects of our biographical

Pliny owned two important residences outside Rome: one on the Laurentine shore; the other in Umbria. Pliny calls the latter villa ‘Tuscan’: a reference to the ethnicity (rather than geography) of the locality. He was deeply embedded and widely co

Pliny the Younger (c. 60–112 CE)—senator and consul in the Rome of Domitian and Trajan, eyewitness to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE, early ‘persecutor’ of Christians on the Black Sea—remains the best documented Roman individual, other t

The chapter begins with the foundation of Novum Comum, its layout, position and history in northern Italy. The effect of landscape on individuals is a modern Romantic trope. Pliny preserves the ancient idea of the effect of environment on groups, and

This chapter begins with events in Rome from Pliny’s youth and early manhood: his education as an orator under Quintilian, first appearance in a trial, early steps along the cursus honorum towards entry into the senate, as well as first marriage an
