As a detailed study of the human animal, described by its author as
the raison d'etre of nature, Book Seven of the elder Pliny's
Natural History is crucial to the understanding of the work as a
whole. In addition, however, it provides a valuable insight into
the extraordinary complex of ideas and beliefs current in Pliny's
era, many of which have resonances for other eras and cultures. The
present study includes a substantial introduction examining the
background to Pliny's life, thought, and writing, together with a
modern English translation, and a detailed commentary which
emphasizes the importance of Book Seven as possibly the most
fascinating cultural record surviving from early imperial Rome.
