This final volume forms part of the largest single work surviving from the Roman Empire, spanning 37 books across diverse subjects from astronomy to precious stones.

nights between his duties as imperial administrator, this monumental work influenced encyclopaedias for centuries to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
