    Pliny the Younger prepares to explain the death of his uncle Pliny the Elder following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. His uncle was in Misenum commanding the fleet when Pliny's mother noticed an unusual cloud. His uncle climbed to higher ground to observe the phenomenon, which was emitting smoke and ash. He decided to investigate further by sea but changed course to rescue friends, including Rectina, when she requested help as the only escape was by boat with the villa beneath the volcano. He sailed directly into danger while others fled.

    PLINI EL JOVE ES DISPOSA A EXPLICAR LA MORT DEL SEU ONCLE

    ARRAN DE L’ERUPCIÓ DEL VESUVI

    Avunculi mei exitum scribo. Erat Miseni, classemque regebat. IX Kal. Sep. hora

    fere septima mater mea indicat ei nubem inusitatam et magnitudine et specie.

    Poscit soleas, ascendit altiorem locum et miraculum illud conspicit. Nubes e

    monte oriebatur, candida interdum, interdum sordida et maculosa prout terram

    cineremve sufferebat. Propius noscere ille volebat, navem aptari iubet.

    PLINI VA A SOCÓRRER LA GENT DE POMPEIA

    Cum domo egrediebatur, accipit epistulam quae a Rectina1 iminentem periculum

    timente mittebatur, nam villa eius monti Vesubio subiacebat, nec ulla nisi navibus

    fuga erat. Rectina avunculum meum arcessit quia se tanto periculo eripere

    volebat. Ille consilium vertit et maiorem navem ascendit quia Rectinae et multis

    aliis auxilium ferre2 optat. Properabat illuc unde alii fugiebant, rectumque cursum

    in periculum tenebat.

    1
    Rectina, ae: nom propi Rectina (una amiga de la familia de Plini)
    2
    ferre: infinitiu del verb fero.
