Etymology
The name Pliny is a Roman family name. It is derived from the Latin word "plinius," which may relate to the word "pluvius," meaning "rain-bringer." The term "the Elder" is used to distinguish him from his nephew, Pliny the Younger.
Works
Pliny the Elder is best known for his encyclopedic work, Naturalis Historia (Natural History), which covers a wide range of topics including astronomy, geography, man, animals, plants, minerals, medicine, and art. It is one of the largest single works to have survived from the Roman Empire to the modern day and purports to cover the entire field of ancient knowledge, based on the best authorities available to Pliny.
Influence on Medicine
Pliny's Naturalis Historia was a significant influence on medicine in the Roman world. He compiled remedies from various sources, creating a sort of medical dictionary. His work was used as a reference by medical practitioners for centuries and influenced medical thought well into the Middle Ages.
