Letters of The Younger Pliny

Ten delightful books, from Nerva’s accession until 113 A.D. inspires a humanization and respect for the Romans! Highly esteemed by friends, the public and the Emperor, Pliny’s ‘Letters’ portray his everyday life, practicing at the Bar and governing Bithynia! Managing his own estates, this devoted scholar contrasts the happy times under Trajan against the evil ones under Domitian, revealing his love for beauty and loathing for the brutal gladiatorial games. Portraying Christians as pure and principled, he did not foresee that a Roman Emperor would one day embrace Christianity! Enthralling!
