Natural History
Pliny the Elder’s Natural History is an encyclopaedic survey of the world as Roman learning understood it: geography, peoples, animals, plants, medicine, minerals, art and marvels. The work belongs to imperial Rome’s appetite for collection and classification, and it reveals how knowledge, empire and curiosity were connected.
