About this book

"The Natural History of Pliny, Volume 3 (of 6)" by the Elder Pliny is an encyclopedic work published in AD 77. This monumental Latin text compiles knowledge from ancient sources across an extraordinary range of subjects—from astronomy and geography to zoology, botany, mineralogy, and art. The largest surviving work from the Roman Empire, it presents nature as a unified whole designed to serve humanity. Pliny's ambitious project captures the wonder and variety of the natural world, reflecting Rome's imperial expansion and featuring exotic curiosities, medicinal plants, and even legendary monstrous races from the edges of the known world.
