Plinio el Viejo
Plinio el Viejo, or Pliny the Elder, was a Roman author, naturalist, and naval commander, born in 23 AD. He is best known for his encyclopedic work, 'Natural History', which encompassed a vast range of topics, including astronomy, geography, botany, and zoology. Pliny served as the commander of the Classis Misenensis, the Roman fleet based at Misenum, and his firsthand accounts of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD provide invaluable historical insights. His dedication to knowledge and the natural world has left a lasting impact on the fields of science and literature.
