Book 26: Diseases and Remedies of Pliny the Elder: The Natural History by James Seley
Hello, I am zombie Pliny the Elder, and I have created an exhibit to examine Chapter 26: Diseases and Remedies in my book, The Natural History. I will explain who the important figures were during this time and how they pioneered new forms of medicine and who were affected by it. Then I will go on to explain remedies for shortness of breath, diseases in the bladder, and other diseases or disorders. I will explain how each plant is used in order to treat these disorders, and then I will have my public historian, Professor Seley, explain my thought process and elaborate as to if these methods are correct or not.
Book 28: Remedies derived from living creatures of Pliny the Elder, The Natural History
Hello, this is Pliny the Elder's exhibit of book 28: remedies derived from living creatures from the Natural History. In this exhibit we will explore the healing properties contained within living things. This will include where to find them, what they are used for, and how to use them. Pliny will offer his commentary where I will then follow up on his statements. Both me and Pliny speak of two different worlds of which we live. One from the powerful Roman empire and the other from contemporary-modern society. We could sit down and speak of all things derived that are remedies but we chose to pick the most important discussion points of the book in terms of medicine and heallth.

Pliny the Elder: The Natural History by James Seley
This exhibit examines two chapters from Book 8 in Pliny the Elder: The Natural History. It covers Chapter 21: Wonderful Feats Performed by Lions and Chapter 64: The Nature of the Horse. Both of these describe how these animals were able to form connections with men, and even became aquantiances. The lions were much harder to tame compared to the horses, but they would still show their loyalty to a man if that man had helped the lion in some way, usually by helping it when its hurt. The horses, on the other hand, have a very strong connection with their owner, and will not waste their time helping any one else besides their master. They become extremely devestated when they are separated from their owner, and in some cases, would kill themselves.
