The ancient world's encyclopedia, with the driest jokes intact. This selection from Pliny's Natural History gathers his reports on animals, minerals, remedies, and marvels: some exact, some gloriously wrong, all delivered with the confidence of a man cataloging the entire world before dinner. You will discover where medieval Europe got its facts, and how a Roman admiral thought. Curiosity in its purest and least reliable form. Press play and believe about half.
