概要

 Discover the wonders of the natural world through Naturalis Historia, an incredible encyclopedia authored by Pliny the Elder around AD 77-79. This monumental work stands as one of the largest surviving texts from the Roman Empire, ambitiously covering the vast expanse of ancient knowledge. Pliny meticulously references original sources, creating a model for all subsequent encyclopedias with its extensive subject matter and comprehensive indexing.
