We have a whole set of exchanges of his letters with the emperor Trajan on a variety of administrative political matters. These two letters are the most famous, in which P. encounters Christianity for the first time. PLINY, LETTERS 10.96-97 Pliny to the Emperor Trajan It is my practice, my lord, to refer to you all matters concerning which I am in doubt. For who can better give guidance to my hesitation or inform my ignorance? I have never participated in trials of Christians. I therefore do not know what offenses it is the practice to punish or investigate, and to what extent. And I have been not a little hesitant as to whether there should be any distinction on account of age or no difference between the very young and the more mature; whether pardon is to be granted for repentance, or, if a man has once been a Christian, it does him no good to have ceased to be one; whether the name itself, even without offenses, or only the offenses associated with the name are to be punished. Meanwhile, in the case of those who were denounced to me as Christians, I have observed the following procedure: I interrogated these as to whether they were Christians; those who confessed I interrogated a second and a third time, threatening them with punishment; those who persisted I ordered executed. For I had no doubt that, whatever the nature of their creed, stubbornness and inflexible obstinacy surely deserve to be punished. There were others possessed of the same folly; but because they were Roman citizens, I signed an order for them to be transferred to Rome.

Eye Witness to the Eruption of A.D. 79! At the time of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 the Roman fleet under the command of Pliny the Elder was stationed across the Bay of Naples at Misenum. Pliny launched ships and sailed toward the erupting volcano for closer observation and to attempt a rescue. No rescue was possible and Pliny himself died during the eruption, not in the streets of Pompeii, but across the bay at Stabiae. Pliny's nephew, whom we know as Pliny the Younger, was with him at Misenum, but did not venture out on the ships with his uncle. He stayed back at Misenum and observed the events from there. He also received first-hand reports from those who had been with his uncle at his death. Based on this information Pliny the Younger wrote two letters to the historian Tacitus that recount the events surrounding the eruption of Vesuvius and the death of Pliny the Elder. The letters survive and provide a vivid account of the events. Provided below are links to the two letters. They are translated by Professor Cynthia Damon of Amherst College and are part of her Web site for Classics 36 Pompeii and Herculaneum . The letters are used here with Professor Damon's permission.

I have selected them accordingly; not, indeed, in their proper order of time, for I was not compiling a history; but just as each came to hand.

Timeline Special Features About the Film Classroom Resources ... Pliny the Elder Pliny the Younger Historians Pliny the Younger It was a life-changing blow, but it was hardly unusual. Apart from the hazards of war, many Romans died young from infectious disease, famine, and during childbirth. Funerals and mourning were painful staples of daily life. Pliny wrote of witnessing one such funeral: I've never seen a girl more cheerful and friendly; more worthy of long life. Barely fourteen, she blended virginal modesty with the wisdom and dignity of a mature woman. And her early death was all the more tragic since she was soon to marry a fine young man. The day had been chosen and the invitations sent. Such joy has turned to such sorrow! A Roman stylus used for writing. By the end of the century, he had risen to the rank of Consul, and was a member of Trajan's imperial board of advisors. But fame, he concluded, was the only tonic that would satisfy him. By chronicling his times, Pliny hoped, he might not only shape the empire's legacy, but also secure the fame he sought. Death seems bitter and premature for those composing timeless works. My own mortality, my own writings come to mind. No doubt the same thoughts frighten you. While life is with us, we must struggle to make our mark so that death finds little it can wipe away.

17. From Jesus To Christ: Why Did Christianity Succeed?: Pliny's Policy - Execution Describe the scene for me if you will in the courtroom of pliny the younger.What happened? About His name is pliny the younger. Pliny http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/why/pliny.html

var loc = "../../../"; L. Michael White: Professor of Classics and Director of the Religious Studies Program University of Texas at Austin Describe the scene for me if you will in the courtroom of Pliny the Younger. What happened? Now this is an important case for a variety of reasons. One reason is that it's the first time that we have a Roman public official recognizing Christians as a distinct religious group in the empire. Prior to the year 112, no Roman official has ever done that and apparently up until this time the Christian movement is still perceived, at least from the perspective of the Roman emperors and the Roman public officials, as just a part of Judaism. Also, because it was considered a part of Judaism, Christianity was considered to be protected by the legal status of Jewish tradition within the Roman Empire. So when we see Pliny taking note of Christians as a separate group, it really marks a departure... a change in the status of Christianity. Both in its relationship to Judaism and in its relationship to the Roman Empire. This is a very important moment in the legal development of early Christianity in the Roman Empire.... Now we know about this situation precisely because Pliny has to write a letter about it. You see Pliny has never heard of Christians before and he's never had to deal with the case of Christians, legal or otherwise... Still, Pliny's a little nervous about this situation even though he has taken legal action [in executing the Christians], he feels compelled to write to his friend the emperor and tell him what he's done because it's an unusual case. We actually have preserved from Pliny's own accounts and his own collection of letters his
