Ancient Text of the Week
Coming up shortly, as promised, the Younger Pliny on the murder of Larcius Macedo. This is a private letter, but no doubt polished up, since Pliny published it himself in his own lifetime. I have tried to translate it fairly closely. For instance, like other Latin authors, Pliny makes much use of the historical present for vividness, and I have translated these as presents whenever possible.
Questions, comments, and objections will be most welcome. These may be on the substance of the letter or the obscurities and infelicities in my translation.
