C. PlinI Panegyricus liber Trajano dictus : cum annotationibus antehac ineditis Dominici Baudii

1675 Pliny the Younger Panegyricus Emperors Trajan & Domitian ROME Military

Pliny the Younger, one of the most notable 1st-century historians, is best remembered for his written works and orations. His best-known, and still widely popular work is his 'Epistles', which was a series of personal letters to other Roman figures. They give an important view of Roman everyday life as well as an interesting perspective on Pliny's views against Christianity.

In addition to his letters, Pliny is remembered by his only known oration – 'Panegyricus'. 'Panegyricus' was a speech given to the Senate describing Emperor Trajan, his administrative actions, views on justice, military discipline, and commerce. He compares Trajan to other figures most notably Emperor Domitian. This 1675 edition was published in Lugduni Batavorum by Hackiana and includes notes and annotations by Dominique Baudius.
