Those of Magnesia, bordering on Macedonia, are of a reddish black those of Breotia are more red than black and the kind that is found in Troas is black, of the female sex, and consequently destitute of attractive power.
Pliny the Elder
We live by reposing trust in each other.
Pliny the Elder
Why is it that we entertain the belief that for every purpose odd numbers are the most effectual?
Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
As for the garden of mint, the very smell of it alone recovers and refreshes our spirits, as the taste stirs up our appetite for meat.
Pliny the Elder
