Description: Book Title: Natural History, Volume II, Books III-VIISeries: Loeb Classical LibraryTranslated by: H. RackhamRed CoverLeft side in Latin, right side in EnglishThe Natural History (Latin: Naturalis Historia) is a Latin work by Pliny the Elder. The largest single work to have survived from the Roman Empire to the modern day, the Natural History compiles information gleaned from other ancient authors. It is encyclopedic in scope, but its structure is not like that of a modern encyclopedia. This book, volume II in the Loeb Classical Library series, is focused on geography. His descriptions of exotic lands and their people are entertaining and show genuine interest on his part. There are also clear literary parallels with Herodotus’ Histories.
