We’ve mentioned Pliny the Elder a few times, but today, we’re diving deeper. Who was this Roman author, naval commander, and naturalist whose curiosity helped preserve centuries of knowledge? From mead and medicine to volcanoes and Roman emperors, Pliny lived through—and wrote about—it all. Discover how Naturalis Historia became one of the most influential encyclopedias of the ancient world, and how Pliny’s dramatic death during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius only added to his legend.

Stay curious—because today’s “dash of info” is all about Pliny the Elder.

Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
Kat & William
