Pliny the Younger
In one of his letters to Tacitus ("avunculus meus"), Pliny the Younger details how his uncle's breakfasts would be light and simple ("levis et facilis") following the customs of our forefathers ("veterum more interdiu"). Pliny the Younger wanted to convey that Pliny the Elder was a "good Roman", which means that he maintained the customs of the great Roman forefathers. This statement would have pleased Tacitus.
