Re: Pliny the Younger.
Pliny in the book does not result any dates/
​
He says in his second letter to Tacitus that he was eighteen at the time of the eruption.
​
Me have plenty of other biographical information about Pliny to know that this was in 79 AD; he was a very prominent figure of his time, even rising to the height of serving as Consul in the year 100.
