62. Pliny The Younger To His Wife, Calpurnia Pliny the Younger to his wife, Calpurnia. The Lovers. Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (AD 61/62c. 113) Roman lawyer and writer known http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Parc/9893/pliny.html

Pliny the Younger to his wife, Calpurnia The Lovers Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (A.D. 61/62-c. 113) Calpurnia (c. A.D. 86-d.?) Like Pliny, was born in Comum. Orphaned at an early age, she was brought up by her wealthy grandfather, Calpurnius Fabatus, the manager of Pliny's large estates, and by her aunt Calpurnia Hispula. She married Pliny when she was probably in her early teens, and traveled with him to Bithynia. In his last surviving letter, he told the emperor Trajan that he had issued her a permit (which he should not have done without the emperor's permission) enabling her to return home quickly so that she could be with her bereaved aunt after the death of her grandfather. While she was away, Pliny himself died. c. A.D. 100 You say that you are feeling my absence very much, and your only comfort when I am not there is to hold my writings in your hand and often put them in my place by your side. I like to think that you miss me and find relief in this sort of consolation. I, too, am always reading your letters, and returning to them again and again as if they were new to mebut this only fans the fire of my longing for you. If your letters are so dear to me, you can imagine how I delight in your company; do write as often as you can, although you give me pleasure mingled with pain.

Pliny the Younger to his wife, Calpurnia In the nine books of personal letters that Pliny the Younger published during his lifetime, he made his bid for immorality. The letters reveal both the public man he wanted remembereda successful lawyer, a keen observer of human nature, and an efficient administratorand in letters such as the one printed here, the private man: the devoted husband of a young and loving wife. Pliny the Younger was born in Comum (present-day Como), beside the beautiful lakes of northern Italy, in A.D. 61 or 62 and educated in Rome. In A.D. 79 his uncle, the writer Pliny the Elder, was killed in the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed the city of Pompeii. He left a will formerlly adopting his nephew as his heir. The following year Pliny began to practice law. He gained a reputation for skill and honesty in handling civil cases concerning disputed inheritances; success in civic and state administration followed, and he became a consul, the highest office of state, at the exceptionally early age of 39. By that time he had already been married twice. To his great grief, both his wives died childless, the second in A.D. 97. Having lived through the cruel reign of the emperor Domitian, he ws acutely aware of the uncertainty of life and longed for a child to continue his name. The emperor Trajan, who had a good working relationship with Pliny, granted him in A.D. 98 the privileges of extra land reserved for parents of three children. He wrote in reply:

69. Biographies: Pliny The Younger Pliny the Younger. aius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, Pliny the Younger, was born into a wealthy family and adopted by his uncle, Pliny the Elder. http://kylemartin.ca/Forum/bio_pliny_young.html

Pliny the Younger AD 61 or 62 - 113 aius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, Pliny the Younger, was born into a wealthy family and adopted by his uncle, Pliny the Elder. He began to practice law at 18. His reputation in the civil-law courts placed him in demand in the political court that tried provincial officials for extortion. His most notable success was securing condemnation of a governor in Africa and a group of officials from Spain. Meanwhile he had attained the highest administrative posts, becoming praetor, in 93, and consul, in 100. After administering the drainage board of the city of Rome, between 104 and 106, he was sent (c. 110) by Emperor Trajan to investigate corruption in the municipal administration of Bithynia, where apparently he died two years later. Between 100 and 109 he published nine books of selected, private letters, beginning with those covering events from the death of Emperor Domitian (October 97) to the early part of 100. The 10th book contains addresses to Emperor Trajan on sundry official problems and the emperor's replies. The private letters are carefully written, occasional letters on diverse topics. Each holds an item of recent social, literary, political, or domestic news, or sometimes an account of an earlier but contemporary historical event, or else initiates moral discussion of a problem. There are letters of advice to young men, notes of greeting and inquiry, and descriptions of scenes of natural beauty or of natural curiosities. Pliny also left a detailed picture of the amateur literary world with its custom of reciting works to seek critical revision from friends. Estate business is a frequent theme.

The Ecole Glossary Pliny the Younger Pliny the Younger (c CE ) was an accomplished Roman orator, letter writer, and public official. He was adopted by his uncle, Pliny the Elder, at which time he took the name of Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus. He wrote and published nine books of letters from to . He became governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor in , compiling a tenth book of letters while in office, though these were not published until after his death. Letter 96 [ DOC ] was written to the Emperor Trajan and concerned the question of how Pliny should treat those who were known to be Christians and were, therefore, members of a secret society, an act prohibited by imperial edict. Letter 97 [ DOC ] was written by Trajan to Pliny. Trajan responded that while it was true that the Christians were guilty of membership in a secret group, they should only be punished when formal charges were filed, something that Trajan's policies discouraged. This correspondence indicates that neither Pliny nor Trajan regarded the Christians as a serious threat to the Roman Empire. Jennifer Bridges

24. Pliny the Younger. Works; De viris illustribus; Suetonius. De claris grammaticis et rhetoribus; Julius Obsequens. Prodigiorum liber Pliny (ca. A.D. 61-ca. 112), is best known for his elegantly crafted letters to a broad circle of acquaintances covering subjects from business and government affairs to personal observations on subjects of interest to the author. The Aldine edition is the first publication of all ten books of letters. The discovery and publication of the complete manuscript of Pliny, unknown until the beginning of the sixteenth century, was one of the great accomplishments of Aldus's life. As soon as the Aldine edition was published this important and unique manuscript disappeared, probably discarded by the press after the book was produced. Thus the 1508 Aldine Pliny remains crucial today as evidence for the textual tradition of this author. Exhibit Home Page Greek and Latin Classics
