Although he didn't get much praise in his life, the works of this privileged military general provided him with a lot of knowledge about Roman life, science and philosophy. Born in Como, Italy became a powerful elite equestrian family (similar to a knight). Pliny Sr lived from AD 23 or 24 to August 24th, 79, which was the exact date of the eruption of Pompeii Vesuvius, and Pliny ushered in his last day.
He has no children of his own, has never been married, and is more focused on work, writing and traveling.
In 35 AD, at the age of 10, he came to Rome and received a formal Roman education.
There, he learned rhetoric and the art of public speaking, both of which are priceless to a rich man.
His discipline helped him a lot when he worked under Tacitus ponponponius Secundus of Publi. He is a famous tragic poet, and he was the first to introduce literature and art to Pliny.
In the rest of his life (on the road, between two professions), Pliny tirelessly created various written works.
From 45 to 47 AD, Pliny served as an officer in the Roman army in Belgica, Galicia, and later became the leader of the cavalry.
Under the leadership of the Roman army, he traveled to various provinces, from Germany to the Mediterranean and even to the British Isles.
He helped defeat the frys in the lowlands of modern Germany and the Chachi between the Ames and Elbe rivers. During this period, he wrote a paper on the technique of throwing spears on horseback in Germany, probably to teach this technique to the Romans.
He probably wrote his teacher's first biography in Rome, and later wrote a 2 1 volume book about the German war. "Old Pliny has an inscription on his phalanx, which is made up of perforated points: Pliny Oprah's EQ.
That's Pliny Oprah Ketomaa Tim, the "Commander of Pliny Cavalry".

Around 50 AD, in his works, there is evidence that he had friendship with many Roman emperors, whether good or bad.
The translation of his works shows that he is one of the few people who have a problem with gaius Ka Regula (A.D. 12-4 1). Later, when Ka Regula is crazy and eager, he will find it is true.
Pliny had a close relationship with Emperor Claudius and was proved not to speak ill of Claudius' strange wife, Mesalina. However, Pliny's relationship with Claudius' successor Nero was very negative.
Nero was a tyrant during his reign. Pliny deliberately divorced from the political situation and separated his good reputation from that of the new emperor.
This is a wise move for him to save his life and reputation. Just like when King Vespa came to power in 69 AD, Pliny once again found himself in power in the Roman Empire with a friend. Because of his relationship with Titus, the son of Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus and Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus (79-8 1 year), Pliny found himself in the company of a large number of prosecutors in 70-75 years.
From Galia Narbonnes to Africa, to Hispania TraCones, and then to Galia Bergika, Pliny is responsible for many financial and administrative responsibilities in Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus Province.
Around 77 AD, Pliny began his most famous work: natural history.
This is a 37-chapter 10 volume book, which uses all the experiences Pliny experienced in his travels and his knowledge in his youth to compile a collection of Roman life.
This book covers many topics such as astronomy, geography, anthropology, zoology, botany, medicine, magic and mineralogy.
The information in it has proved to be very enlightening to modern historians and Romans at that time, the oldest illustrated natural history Pliny Usmel (15 13) (right).
It also shows the 1570 version of the famous Greek speech, written by Logoi of Demostine.
Wikimedia Association, the death of Pliny Sr is one of the most fascinating Roman historians.
He was not only present at the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, but also died in that eruption.
As the commander of the Roman army, Pliny Sr was one of many people who tried to help the rescue work after the explosion.
He and his companions arrived in Campania, trying to help friends and residents escape to the seaside. Some victims in Pompeii were sitting and others were lying there when a super-hot gas cloud surrounded them.
(Bigstock photo) Campania, not far from Pompeii, is suffering from volcanic eruption, because its atmosphere is as thick as the volcanic ash in the famous ancient city, and Pliny died because of inhaling volcanic ash.
Presumably, Pliny's throat was aggravated by the smoke and volcanic ash around him, because he suffered from asthma all his life.
In any case, the powerful Vesuvius volcano is considered to be the main reason for the ultimate fate of Pliny the Old. Joseph wright (about 1774- 1776) witnessed the eruption of Bosvesuvius.
In the public domain, it was almost 1900. Italian engineer Genaro Mathelon dug in Pompeii and found the remains of more than 70 people, including a body far away from others.
It is wearing a bracelet, a ring and a big gold necklace.
The old lady had a presentiment that this was the remains of Pliny Sr.
His belief has never been confirmed, but researchers are trying to collect the necessary resources to see if this man's skull can really become a famous historical figure.
