About the book

A Self-Portrait in Letters presents selections from the correspondence of Pliny the Younger, a Roman lawyer, official and writer. His letters describe friendships, politics, estates, literary life and major events such as the eruption of Vesuvius. Together, they create an unusually personal portrait of an educated member of the Roman elite and provide valuable evidence about everyday life under the early Empire.
