  Pliny the Elder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He believed that "true glory consists of doing what deserves to be read, and writing what deserves to be written".
He was the son of a Roman eques by the daughter of the Senator Gaius Caecilius of Novum Comum.
He was born at Como, not (as is sometimes supposed) at Verona: it is only as a native of Gallia Transpadana that he calls Catullus of Verona his conterraneus, or fellow-countryman, not his municeps, or fellow-townsman (Praef. ยง1).

Lord of the Chamber to the King of Denmark, and Danish Ambassador at Ratisbon; was born in 1747.
He was at one time a very active member of the Rite of Strict Observance, where he bore the characteristic Knighthood name of Eques a ceraso, and had been appointed as Chancellor of the German Priories of the 7th Province.
Von Waechter was unsuccessful, and the intelligence which he brought back to Germany was unfavorable to Von Hund, and increased the embarrassments of the Strict Observance Lodges.
