Quote:has Plinivs ever been found?
His nephew tells us:
Quote:He raised himself up with the assistance of two of his servants, and instantly fell down dead; suffocated, as I conjecture,
by some gross and noxious vapour, having always had a weak
throat, which was often inflamed. As soon as it was light again,
which was not till the third day after this melancholy accident, his
body was found entire, and without any marks of violence upon it,
in the dress in which he fell, and looking more like a man asleep
than dead.
So I assume he was brought back and given a proper burial.
