About this listen

In AD 79, as Mount Vesuvius erupted, Pliny the Elder chose to move closer---not to escape, but to understand. In this episode, Harmonia reflects on Pliny as a threshold figure in human history, standing at a moment when gathering knowledge still seemed enough. His life and death invite us to ask what responsibility comes with knowing more than we can yet fully comprehend.
