    Extractions: PLINY THE YOUNGER CAIUS PLINIUS CAECILIUS With the exception of a speech in praise of Trajan, we have nothing left of Pliny but his letters to the emperor, to Tacitus, to his wife, and to intimate friends. We see from these that he was a generous, tender-hearted, and highly cultivated man. Like the still larger correspondence of Cicero , these letters are of great value, because they enable us to live in familiar intercourse with these men and their friends.

Its advent has made it easier for people to create things better left uncreated, to share things better kept private, to say things better left unsaid which explains the concept of celebrity blogs.

    Extractions: Webmasters - link to this site Pliny was the governor of the Roman province of Bithynia, in present-day Turkey. In about 112 AD, he wrote (in Epistles X.96) to the emperor Trajan , asking for advice on how to deal with the followers of Christ in his province, because he was executing so many of them. Pliny wrote: They were in the habit of meeting before dawn on a fixed day. They would recite in alternate verse a hymn to Christ as to a god, and would bind themselves by a solemn oath, not to do any criminal act, but rather that they would not commit any fraud, theft or adultery, nor betray any trust nor refuse to restore a deposit on demand. This done, they would disperse, and then they would meet again later to eat together (but the food was quite ordinary and harmless.) Notice from what Pliny says that: By the beginning of the second century, there was already a Christian community in Bithynia large enough to come to the attention of the Roman governor.

    Extractions: Gardens Guide HOMEPAGE GARDEN TOURS GARDEN FINDER GARDEN DESIGN ... PROPERTY Pliny the Younger - biographical information Dates Life : Nephew of Pliny the Elder, also an orator, famed for his charming letters. Pliny's letters give an account of upper class Roman life in the first century and include many references to Pliny's own gardens. The letters were much studied during the renaissance as an authentic source of information on Roman gardens. The excerpt below is from one of Pliny's garden letters. It describes his villa at Tusci:- Many paths are separated by box. In one place you have a little meadow In another place the box is interposed in groups, and cut into a thousand different forms. Sometimes the letters express the name of the master, or that of the designer. Here and there little obelisks rise, mixed alternately with apple trees. Then suddenly, in the midst of this elegant regularity, you are surprised with an imitation of the negligent beauties of rural nature. In the centre is a spot surrounded with a knot of dwarf plane trees. Beyond these are clumps of the smooth and twisting acanthus. Then come a variety of figures and names cut in box. At the upper end of the garden is a semicircular bench of white marble. It is shaded with a vine which is trained upon four small pillars of Carystian marble. Water, gushes from several little pipes from under this bench, as if it were pressed out by the weight of the persons who sit upon it. The water falls into a stone cistern underneath, from whence it is received into a fine polished marble basin, so artfully contrived that it is always full without ever overflowing. When I eat here, the tray of dishes is placed around the margin, while the smaller dishes swim about in the form of little ships and waterfowl. Opposite this is a fountain which is incessantly emptying and filling, for the water which it throws up to a great height falling back again into it, is by means of connected openings returned as fast as it is received.

No attempt shall be made here to reconstruct these villas in precise detail, for our knowledge is incomplete, and must remain so until the sites have been found and dug over.

It was relatively common for a wealthy Roman couple to adopt an adult man, even a slave, as heir if they did not have any sons born to them, or their sons were unfit to inherit. This practice extended to the emperors, and there are a number of Roman emperors and other high officials who were adopted as adolescents or adults, usually by relatives, specifically to provide a suitable and reliable heir. Texas Looking to adopt? Pregnant? For other cultures where this kind of adoption was practiced, see Pomare Dynasty Chinese Qing Dynasty India (Princely States) , and Hawai'ian Royal Families Famous adopted Romans include: Antoninus Pius , 86-161 (Emperor, 138-61). Antoninus Pius (also known as Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Antoninus) was the son of Aurelius Fulvius and Arria Fadilla, from a second-ranking official family at Lanuvium. He became a senator, quaestor and consul (in 120). He was proconsul of Asia from 133 to 136 and gained the attention of the emperor Hadrian (see below), who adopted him and appointed him as his successor in 138. He became effective ruler of the empire during Hadrian's last illness and succeeded him in 138, only a few months after his adoption. He ruled well and was greatly respected by the people. Also in 138 he himself adopted his wife's nephew, Marcus Aurelius (see below), who succeeded him as emperor, and Lucius Verus (Lucius Ceionius Commodus II), 130-169, who became a consul under Marcus Aurelius.
