   Extractions: Pliny on the Christians Pliny the Younger was governor of Pontus/Bithynia from 111-113 AD. We have a whole set of exchanges of his letters with the emperor Trajan on a variety of administrative political matters. These two letters are the most famous, in which P. encounters Christianity for the first time. Pliny to the Emperor Trajan It is my practice, my lord, to refer to you all matters concerning which I am in doubt. For who can better give guidance to my hesitation or inform my ignorance? I have never participated in trials of Christians. I therefore do not know what offenses it is the practice to punish or investigate, and to what extent. And I have been not a little hesitant as to whether there should be any distinction on account of age or no difference between the very young and the more mature; whether pardon is to be granted for repentance, or, if a man has once been a Christian, it does him no good to have ceased to be one; whether the name itself, even without offenses, or only the offenses associated with the name are to be punished. Meanwhile, in the case of those who were denounced to me as Christians, I have observed the following procedure: I interrogated these as to whether they were Christians; those who confessed I interrogated a second and a third time, threatening them with punishment; those who persisted I ordered executed. For I had no doubt that, whatever the nature of their creed, stubbornness and inflexible obstinacy surely deserve to be punished. There were others possessed of the same folly; but because they were Roman citizens, I signed an order for them to be transferred to Rome.

6. From Jesus To Christ: Primary Sources: Letters Of Pliny The Younger And The Empe

   http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/maps/primary/pliny.html
   
   Extractions: These letters concern an episode which marks the first time the Roman government recognized Christianity as a religion separate from Judaism, and sets a precedent for the massive persecution of Christians that takes place in the second and third centuries. In the year 112, Pliny the Younger was faced with a dilemma. He was the governor in the Roman province of Bithynia (modern day Turkey) when a number of Christians were brought into his court. It is unclear what the initial charges are, but he ultimately decided, despite the fact that the Christians seemed generally harmless to him, that he should execute them if they refused to recant their faith. Because he is unsure as to whether he can kill them legally for no other crime than their faith, he writes to his friend the Emperor for advice. The Emperor replies that he did the right thing in excecuting them, but advises him not to seek out Christians for prosecution. Sir, Deaconesses: but still I discovered no more than that they were addicted to a bad and to an extravagant superstition. Hereupon I have put off any further examinations, and have recourse to you, for the affair seems to be well worth consultation, especially on account of the number of those that are in danger; for there are many of every age, of every rank, and of both sexes, who are now and hereafter likely to be called to account, and to be in danger; for this superstition is spread like a contagion, not only into cities and towns, but into country villages also, which yet there is reason to hope may be stopped and corrected. To be sure, the temples, which were almost forsaken, begin already to be frequented; and the holy solemnities, which were long intermitted, begin to be revived. The sacrifices begin to sell well everywhere, of which very few purchasers had of late appeared; whereby it is easy to suppose how great a multitude of men may be amended, if place for repentance be admitted.

    Extractions: At the time of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 the Roman fleet under the command of Pliny the Elder was stationed across the Bay of Naples at Misenum. Pliny launched ships and sailed toward the erupting volcano for closer observation and to attempt a rescue. No rescue was possible and Pliny himself died during the eruption, not in the streets of Pompeii, but across the bay at Stabiae. Pliny's nephew, whom we know as Pliny the Younger, was with him at Misenum, but did not venture out on the ships with his uncle. He stayed back at Misenum and observed the events from there. He also received first-hand reports from those who had been with his uncle at his death. Based on this information Pliny the Younger wrote two letters to the historian Tacitus that recount the events surrounding the eruption of Vesuvius and the death of Pliny the Elder. The letters survive and provide a vivid account of the events. Provided below are links to the two letters. They are translated by Professor Cynthia Damon of Amherst College and are part of her Web site for Classics 36 Pompeii and Herculaneum . The letters are used here with Professor Damon's permission.

The Roman senator Pliny the Younger is one of the few people from Antiquity who is more to us than just a name. We possess a long inscription which mentions his entire career, one or two of his houses have been discovered, and -more importantly- we can still read many of his letters. They are often very entertaining: he tells a ghost story, gives accounts of lawsuits, guides us through his houses, describes the friendship of a boy and a dolphin, informs us about the persecution of Christians, tells about the eruption of the Vesuvius. But we can also read his correspondence with the emperor Trajan. With the senator Cicero and the father of the church Augustine, Pliny is the best-known of all Romans. In this article, we will first describe his career, and then focus on his governorship of Bithynia-Pontus (109-111), where he was some sort of interim-manager who had to settle a troubled province . His opinions and world view will be discussed passingly - you can better read his letters.

This is the fifth part of an article; the first part can be found here As we have seen above, Pliny cultivated an image of both power and kindness, which enabled him to give orders to the members of the local elite and yet keep their cooperation. In this section of this article, we will discuss the results of Pliny's activities in the crisis province Bithynia-Pontus. Youth To start with, the new governor put all towns under legal constraint. If they wanted to spend large sums of money, they had to ask permission. This may seem a simple measure, but it must have been resented deeply by the members of the local elite, who were morally obliged to play a role in large-scale building projects. And although the wealthy Bithynians could not deny that they had almost ruined the province, it was a splendid achievement that the legatus Augusti pro praetore consulari potestate ex senatusconsulto missus was able to put all towns under legal constraint.

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Pliny the Younger, properly Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, was a Roman senator under the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan, and is chiefly famous for his ten books of letters, which are an important source for Roman social history. He was a friend of Rome's greatest historian, Tacitus. Pliny was the son of a landowner from Comum in northern Italy, but on his father's death was brought up by his uncle, Pliny the Elder, commander of the fleet at Misenum, on the Bay of Naples, and author of the 37 volumes of Natural History . A famous orator, and pupil of Quintilian, the younger Pliny enjoyed a successful career in the civil courts and in the senate. As consul in AD 100, he delivered his Panegyricus in honour of Trajan; his revised and expanded version of this speech is one of the very few surviving Latin speeches that are not by Cicero. From c.110 until his death, he was governor of Bithynia-Pontus. The first nine books of Pliny's letters, written to a variety of addressees, are formal literary compositions, which set out to give a picture of the times. They cover political events (senatorial debates, elections, trials) and social and domestic matters, and also include advice to friends, topographical descriptions and even job references.
