This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin A-Level (Group 2) prescription of Pliny, Letters 1. 9; 3. 16; 4. 2; 4. 19; 8. 8; 8. 16; 8. 17; 9. 6, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English. The letters of Pliny the Younger provide a glimpse of what life at the start of the 2nd century AD was like for a member of the Roman elite, offering some insight into his roles and responsibilities, his daily concerns, and relationships both personal and professional. This wide-ranging selection includes letters of advice and praise, meditations on death and slavery, descriptions of nature or natural phenomena, and even disapproval of the Roman public' s obsession with chariot-racing. Pliny shows various sides to his character and demonstrates his skill in writing, carefully constructing the persona he wants to project to posterity.
