- Abstract
- The Elder Pliny's Naturalis historia is by far the most detailed ancient
source we today possess on Roman metallurgy.1 Solid metals and
metal-bearing minerals are a primary subject of the programmatic
agenda of the Naturalis historia, which aims to describe Nature in all her
aspects: Salve, parens rerum omnium Natura, teque nobis Quiritium solis
celebratam esse numeris omnibus tuis fave (HN 37.205).2 Roman civilization
placed a crucial emphasis (both practical and symbolic) on these materials
for the manufacture, use, and maintenance of such diverse and important
objects as weapons, tools, coins, jewelry, artwork, and even medicaments.
In this study, I will discuss some philosophical and scientific issues that are
present in various metallurgical passages of the Naturalis historia. (literal)
