The ancient Roman philosopher, author, and naturalist Pliny the Elder studied and wrote extensively about the natural world. He was also a military and naval leader in the Roman empire. He is the first person ever to write an encyclopedia, which is a remarkable achievement in and of itself.
He is known as a "Naturalis Historia Author" in Latin because of his famous book Natural History. The 37 volumes in this book contain more than a million words.
