Pliny the Younger, one of the most notable 1st-century historians, is best remembered for his written works and orations. One of his best speeches was his ‘Panegyricus’ – a speech given to Emperor Trajan. Trajan had emperor for a few years prior to this speech and, at the start, Pliny offers a ‘recap’ or review of the first few years of Trajan’s reign. He describes the qualities of Trajan as an emperor as well as notes on the state of the Roman senate under his authority.

 

In addition to ‘Panegyricus’, this 1611 edition of Pliny contains his famed epistles – a series of personal letters to other Roman figures. They give an important view of Roman everyday life as well as an interesting perspective on Pliny’s views against Christianity.

 

This famous 1611 edition was collected and edited by Claudius Claudianus and published by the famous house of Henri Estienne.
