AD 61-113) was also a prolific letter-writer, who numbered among his correspondents such eminent figures as Tacitus, Suetonius and the Emperor Trajan, as well as a wide circle of friends and family. His lively and very personal letters address an astonishing range of topics, from a deeply moving account of his uncle's death in the eruption that engulfed Pompeii, to observations on the early Christians - 'a desperate sort of cult carried to extravagant lengths' - from descriptions of everyday life in Rome, with its scandals and court cases, to Pliny's life in the country.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128393019550,"sku":"UBD-9780140441277","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140441277.jpg?v=1786540135","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140441277","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
