Pliny the Elder on Science and Technology
Healy, John F. (Emeritus Professor of Classics, Emeritus Professor of Classics, University of London)
This book examines the massively important contribution of Pliny the Elder (AD 23/4 - 79) to the physical and applied sciences in the early years of imperial Rome. It is based on the results of laboratory experiments which validate many of Pliny's observations, and on a new study of the technical language he created.
