Abstract
We have more detailed information on the life and career of Pliny the Younger than any other Roman author. The information preserved in his letters provides us with insight into his literary and economic activity as well. Pliny was a famous lawyer of his age, but his revenues came in mostly from his estates. The study tries to reveal Pliny’s motivations concerning his landed property and his economic decisions. The estates could yield a relatively high profit and to maximize it was one of the goals of the landowners. But as for Pliny, there were further factors which also influenced his decisions.
