Natural History Volume 7

Natural History Volume 7 is part of Pliny the Elder's encyclopedic work, published around AD 77-79. This volume covers books 31 to 37, focusing on remedies from aquatic life, the natural history of metals, and the properties of stones and precious gems. As one of the largest surviving texts from the Roman Empire, it set a precedent for future encyclopedias with its extensive subject matter and thorough referencing. Pliny's detailed observations on the exploitation of natural resources by humans, particularly Romans, provide valuable insights into ancient science and culture.
