Twee keer per etmaal komt de Oceaan met enorme watermassa's opzetten in een gebied dat omstreden is, bewoond door een arm volk op hoge terpen. Dit beschrijft Plinius in zijn levenswerk, waarin hij antieke kennis presenteert, gebaseerd op honderden Griekse en Romeinse bronnen. Hij behandelt thema's zoals de hemel, aarde, mensen, dieren, planten, geneesmiddelen, en kunstwerken. Plinius schrijft over insecten, vogels, exotische dieren, vreemde mensen, overstromingen, en ingepolderd land. Hij bespreekt 185 soorten wijn en hun opslag, evenals technieken voor het maken van touw, papyrus, glas, en het vervalsen van edelstenen. Daarnaast somt hij honderden plantaardige en minerale geneesmiddelen op voor diverse kwalen, vaak met onzinnige maar soms effectieve remedies. Tussen deze wetenswaardigheden door is zijn boek rijk aan anekdotes en sappige verhalen. Dit overzicht bevat een representatieve selectie uit alle zevendertig boeken, waarmee voor het eerst in het Nederlands recht wordt gedaan aan een van de meest fascinerende schrijvers uit de Oudheid, die ons ook had willen vertellen over een vulkaanuitbarsting, maar dat experiment helaas niet overleefde.
