FROM THE LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY PLINY THE YOUNGER Letters, I, Books 1-7 Translated by Betty Radice The Younger Pliny was born in AD 61 or 62, the son of Lucius Caecilius of Comum (Como) and the Elder Pliny's sister. He was educated at home and then in Rome under Quintilian. He was at Misenum at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 (described in two famous letters) when the Elder Pliny died. Pliny started his career at the Roman bar at the age of eighteen. He moved through the regular offices in a senator's career, held two treasury appointments and a priesthood, and was consul in September and October 100. On this occasion he delivered the speech of thanks to the Emperor Trajan which he afterwards expanded and published as the Panegyricus . After his consulship he returned to advocacy in the court and Senate, and was also president of the Tiber Conservancy Board. His hopes of retirement were cut short when he was chosen by Trajan to go out to the province of Bithynia and Pontus on a special commission as the Emperor's direct representative. He is known to have been there two years, and is presumed to have died there before the end of 113. Book X of the Letters contains his correspondence with Trajan during this period, and includes letters about the early Christians. Pliny's Letters are important as a social document of his times. They tell us about the man himself and his wide interests, and about his many friends, including Tacitus, Martial and Suetonius. Pliny has a gift for description and a versatile prose style, and more than any of his contemporaries he gives an unprejudiced picture of Rome as he knew it.

Tacitus Navigation Home Jesus History Pliny the Younger Page contents Pliny the Younger Pliny to Trajan: Concerning the Trials of Christians Trajan to Pliny: Reply 1. Pliny the Younger Pliny the Younger (Plinius Secundus) was governor of the Roman province of Bithynia, on the southern coast of the Black Sea, for approximately two years around 112 AD. An expert in law, finance and administration, he was recalled from retirement by the Emperor Trajan in order to resolve the political unrest and administrative disorder in the province. One of his longer letters to Trajan, who was also a friend of his, concerned Christians and how they were to be tried under Roman law. The Emperor Trajan wrote a letter in reply, and these, with many other letters, Pliny published. In his reply Trajan may be understood to be softening, without rescinding, the harsher stances of his immediate predecessors.

66. Pliny The Younger - The Eruption Of Mt Vesuvius 79 AD by Pliny the Younger (AD 61113). My dear Tacitus,. You ask me to write yousomething about the death of my uncle so that the account you transmit to http://www.volcanolive.com/pliny.html

The 79 AD Eruption of Vesuvius by Pliny the Younger (AD 61-113) My dear Tacitus, You ask me to write you something about the death of my uncle so that the account you transmit to posterity is as reliable as possible. I am grateful to you, for I see that his death will be remembered forever if you treat it [sc. in your Histories]. He perished in a devastation of the loveliest of lands, in a memorable disaster shared by peoples and cities, but this will be a kind of eternal life for him. Although he wrote a great number of enduring works himself, the imperishable nature of your writings will add a great deal to his survival. Happy are they, in my opinion, to whom it is given either to do something worth writing about, or to write something worth reading; most happy, of course, those who do both. With his own books and yours, my uncle will be counted among the latter. It is therefore with great pleasure that I take up, or rather take upon myself the task you have set me. He was at Misenum in his capacity as commander of the fleet on the 24th of August [sc. in 79 AD], when between 2 and 3 in the afternoon my mother drew his attention to a cloud of unusual size and appearance. He had had a sunbath, then a cold bath, and was reclining after dinner with his books. He called for his shoes and climbed up to where he could get the best view of the phenomenon. The cloud was rising from a mountain-at such a distance we couldn't tell which, but afterwards learned that it was Vesuvius. I can best describe its shape by likening it to a pine tree. It rose into the sky on a very long "trunk" from which spread some "branches." I imagine it had been raised by a sudden blast, which then weakened, leaving the cloud unsupported so that its own weight caused it to spread sideways. Some of the cloud was white, in other parts there were dark patches of dirt and ash. The sight of it made the scientist in my uncle determined to see it from closer at hand.

67. Pliny The Younger To His Wife, Calpurnia Roman lawyer and writer known as Pliny the Younger, left a collection of lettersthat gives the most complete picture available of public and private life http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Parc/9893/pliny.html

Pliny the Younger to his wife, Calpurnia The Lovers Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (A.D. 61/62-c. 113) Calpurnia (c. A.D. 86-d.?) Like Pliny, was born in Comum. Orphaned at an early age, she was brought up by her wealthy grandfather, Calpurnius Fabatus, the manager of Pliny's large estates, and by her aunt Calpurnia Hispula. She married Pliny when she was probably in her early teens, and traveled with him to Bithynia. In his last surviving letter, he told the emperor Trajan that he had issued her a permit (which he should not have done without the emperor's permission) enabling her to return home quickly so that she could be with her bereaved aunt after the death of her grandfather. While she was away, Pliny himself died. c. A.D. 100 You say that you are feeling my absence very much, and your only comfort when I am not there is to hold my writings in your hand and often put them in my place by your side. I like to think that you miss me and find relief in this sort of consolation. I, too, am always reading your letters, and returning to them again and again as if they were new to mebut this only fans the fire of my longing for you. If your letters are so dear to me, you can imagine how I delight in your company; do write as often as you can, although you give me pleasure mingled with pain.

Pliny the Younger to his wife, Calpurnia In the nine books of personal letters that Pliny the Younger published during his lifetime, he made his bid for immorality. The letters reveal both the public man he wanted remembereda successful lawyer, a keen observer of human nature, and an efficient administratorand in letters such as the one printed here, the private man: the devoted husband of a young and loving wife. Pliny the Younger was born in Comum (present-day Como), beside the beautiful lakes of northern Italy, in A.D. 61 or 62 and educated in Rome. In A.D. 79 his uncle, the writer Pliny the Elder, was killed in the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed the city of Pompeii. He left a will formerlly adopting his nephew as his heir. The following year Pliny began to practice law. He gained a reputation for skill and honesty in handling civil cases concerning disputed inheritances; success in civic and state administration followed, and he became a consul, the highest office of state, at the exceptionally early age of 39. By that time he had already been married twice. To his great grief, both his wives died childless, the second in A.D. 97. Having lived through the cruel reign of the emperor Domitian, he ws acutely aware of the uncertainty of life and longed for a child to continue his name. The emperor Trajan, who had a good working relationship with Pliny, granted him in A.D. 98 the privileges of extra land reserved for parents of three children. He wrote in reply:

At their best, these ales are stunning combinations of big hops, big malt and big alcohol. At their worst, they are little more than seriously alcoholic hop juice. So what to make of a triple IPA?

Message Pliny the Younger Roman Emperors Pliny the Younger was an author who attests, in a letter to the emperor Trajan about a grant of citizenship for a therapist named Harpocras, that citizenship was granted to some Egyptians, though far from open-handedly. He states in his letter that , since he was an Egyptian, Pliny should have obtained for him Alexandrian citizenship, then Roman. Since he didn't realize that there was a difference, he merely wrote to the emperor that Trajan was a freedman of an alien woman and that his patron had died.

Sign-Up The Ministry Our Purpose Our Beliefs Author's Background Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (AD 61-112), or Pliny the Younger, was the governor of Bithynia (AD 112) and a Roman senator. He wrote to emperor Trajan asking for guidance on how he should treat the Christians in his province. Reference To Jesus Christ Christians were "meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verse a hymn to Christ as to a god, and bound themselves to a solemn oath, not to do wicked deeds, never commit fraud, theft, adultery, not to lie nor to deny a trust. . . " - Epistles X96 Conclusion This reference reveals several key things: 1) Jesus was worshipped as a god. 2) Christians met on a fixed day of the week. 3) The meeting occurred before sunrise. 4) They sang songs to Christ. 5) Christians were committed to holy behavior.

Skip Navigation Mount Vesuvius Today two million people live in the immediate vicinity of Mount Vesuvius. This mountain has erupted more than 50 times since the eruption in 79 A.D., when it buried Pompeii and its sister city, Herculaneum. After Pompeii was buried and lost to history, the volcano continued to erupt every 100 years until about 1037 A.D., when it entered a 600-year period of quiescence. In 1631, the volcano killed an additional 4000 unsuspecting inhabitants. It was during the restoration after this eruption that workers discovered the ruins of Pompeii, buried and forgotten for nearly 1600 years. It would take another 300 years for the excavations to reveal the story of Pompeii and Herculaneum. For excellent coverage of Pompeii, Vesuvius, and the continuing narrative of tragic human involvement with nature, readers may want to locate a copy of Planet Earth: Volcano by Time-Life Books. The picture to the left shows Mount Vesuvius as seen from the recently excavated ruins of Pompeii. Vesuvius is about 5 miles away. Try to imagine huge, billowing, gray-black clouds like those at Mount St. Helens rushing toward you at a hundred miles an hour. That is probably what the ancient Romans (whose body casts are shown below) saw just before they were entombed by hot ash. Photo: Courtesy of Dr. James Botti.

Pliny the Younger Letter Concerning the Christian Problem Epistle 97 Pliny to the Emperor Trajan Epistle 98 Trajan to Pliny You have adopted the right course, my dearest Secundus, in investigating the charges against the Christians who were brought before you. It is not possible to lay down any general rule for all such cases. Do not go out of your way to look for them. If indeed they should be brought before you, and the crime is proved, they must be punished; with the restriction, however, that where the party denies he is a Christian, and shall make it evident that he is not, by invoking our gods, let him (notwithstanding any former suspicion) be pardoned upon his repentance. Anonymous informations ought not to be received in any sort of prosecution. It is introducing a very dangerous precedent, and is quite foreign to the spirit of our age.
