• Lucius Plinius L. f. Rufus,
praetor designatus in 36 BC, served as
legate of
Sextus Pompeius, and given command of western
Sicily. He surrendered after Pompeius' defeat. •
Gaius Plinius Secundus, otherwise known as "Pliny the Elder", the first century scholar and antiquarian, devoted his life to compiling knowledge of the natural world. He was a friend of
Vespasian, and in command of the Roman fleet at
Misenum in AD 79, when he was suffocated by fumes from the
eruption of Vesuvius. • Marcus Plinius Gallus,
aedile in AD 46. • Gaius Plinius Valerianus, a physician who died at the age of twenty-two. A work on various diseases and their cures in five books has been attributed to him, under the title,
