AI overview
Natural History is an ancient encyclopedia written by the Roman author Pliny the Elder around AD 77–79 that compiles knowledge about the natural world, including animals, plants, minerals, and geography as the Romans understood them. It matters because it preserves what educated Romans knew about nature at that time and has influenced how later generations thought about the natural world.

De Naturalis historia is een encyclopedie bestaande uit 37 boeken, waarin de Romein Plinius de Oudere halverwege de 1e eeuw na Chr. (het eerste boek verscheen in 77) alle hem bekende feiten en feitjes heeft verzameld, om zo te proberen een compleet beeld van de (toen bekende) wereld te geven.
