7 ore 25 agos 79 anni - ""7:00-7:30 a.m.: Pliny the Elder dies of suffocation at Stabiae
after earlier attempting
to sail out to check out
the impact of the eruption.
His nephew, Pliny the Younger,
had retired inland from Misenum
and on the way met up with many
of the crowds fleeing the eruption.
The Younger Pliny would survive
and later write multiple letters to
his historian friend, Tacitus,
to tell him about the disaster of 79 CE (Ep. 6.16, 6.20)."
