Keywords: Pliny the Younger; narration; fiction; epistolography
Summary/Abstract: In this paper I try to examine some of Pliny’s well known letters as pieces of literary fiction. The main interest here is not the authenticity of facts presented, but some literary techniques that Pliny uses in order to make his descriptions more vivid.
