Description: Book Title: Natural History, Volume I, Books I-IISeries: Loeb Classical LibraryTranslated by: H. RackhamRed CoverLeft side in Latin, right side in EnglishThe Natural History (Latin: Naturalis Historia) is a Latin work by Pliny the Elder. The largest single work to have survived from the Roman Empire to the modern day, the Natural History compiles information gleaned from other ancient authors. It is encyclopedic in scope, but its structure is not like that of a modern encyclopedia. In Book 2, Pliny the Elder adheres largely to earlier Greek ideas about astronomy. He believed that the earth was spherical, and he shows how this relates to the daily rotation, sunrises, and sunsets. Pliny lists the planets as they were known in Classical times: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the sun, Venus, Mercury, and the moon.
