en-wikipedia-org-6646		Pliny the Elder - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	7870	983	69	Gaius Plinius Secundus (AD 23/24 – 79), called Pliny the Elder (/ˈplɪni/),[1] was a Roman author, a naturalist and natural philosopher, a naval and army commander of the early Roman Empire, and a friend of emperor Vespasian. According to his nephew,[21] during this period, he wrote his first book (perhaps in winter quarters when more spare time was available), a work on the use of missiles on horseback, De Jaculatione Equestri ("On the Use of the Dart by Cavalry").[16] It has not survived, but in "Natural History", he seems to reveal at least part of its content, using the movements of the horse to assist the javelin-man in throwing missiles while astride its back.[24] During this period, he also dreamed that the spirit of Drusus Nero begged him to save his memory from oblivion.[21] The dream prompted Pliny to begin forthwith a history of all the wars between the Romans and the Germans,[16] which he did not complete for some years.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6646.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6646.txt
