The letters of Pliny the Younger provide a glimpse of what life at the start of the 2nd century AD was like for a member of the Roman elite, offering some insight into his roles and responsibilities, his daily concerns, and relationships both personal and professional. This wide-ranging selection includes letters of advice and praise, meditations on death and slavery, descriptions of nature or natural phenomena, and even disapproval of the Roman public's obsession with chariot-racing. Pliny shows various sides to his character and demonstrates his skill in writing, carefully constructing the persona he wants to project to posterity.

Download or read book Pliny the Elder The Natural History Book VII with Book VIII 1 34 written by Pliny the Elder and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pliny the Elder's Natural History is a vast encyclopaedia, surveying natural phenomena from cosmology to biology, medicine to magic. Direct observation, informed speculation and common knowledge are combined to present a key snapshot of ancient thought and the Romans' perspective on the world around them. Book VII of The Natural History provides a detailed examination of the human animal and is crucial to understanding the work as a whole. In Pliny's eyes, mankind 'for whose sake nature was created', represents the basis for which the natural world was founded and structured. As a result, the book provides valuable insight into the extraordinary complex of ideas and beliefs that were current in Pliny's era. One of the most interesting transitions of subject in The Natural History is that from man to animals (between Books VII and VIII) and for this reason the section on elephants at the beginning of Book VIII is included here, to show how Pliny moves on to his account of the animal he considers 'nearest to the human disposition'. This edition provides the full Latin text accompanied by commentary notes that provide linguistic help and explanations, plus vocabulary lists of Latin terms and an index of proper names. The in-depth introduction provides valuable details about the work's historical, scientific and literary context, as well as an overview of the work's legacy and reception.

Download or read book The Position of Roman Slaves written by Martin Schermaier and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slaves were property of their dominus, objects rather than persons, without rights: These are some components of our basic knowledge about Roman slavery. But Roman slavery was more diverse than we might assume from the standard wording about servile legal status. Numerous inscriptions as well as literary and legal sources reveal clear differences in the social structure of Roman slavery. There were numerous groups and professions who shared the status of being unfree while inhabiting very different worlds. The papers in this volume pose the question of whether and how legal texts reflected such social differences within the Roman servile community. Did the legal system reinscribe social differences, and if so, in what shape? Were exceptions created only in individual cases, or did the legal system generate privileges for particular groups of slaves? Did it reinforce and even promote social differentiation? All papers probe neuralgic points that are apt to challenge the homogeneous image of Roman slave law. They show that this law was a good deal more colourful than historical research has so far assumed. The authors' primary concern is to make this legal diversity accessible to historical scholarship.
