This collection encompasses about one-tenth of the preserved letter corpus and provides a representative insight into the thematic diversity of his epistles. The included texts are not only of interest to readers but also indispensable for teaching. Highlights include the impressive accounts of the eruption of Vesuvius, as well as letters on educational issues, circus games, and family matters. The bilingual edition in Latin and German allows readers to experience the original language while simultaneously understanding the content in German translation. This selection is ideal for anyone interested in Roman literature and epistolography.
