Pliny is the one that’s supposed to travel, and then send you letters which range from “I saw a mountain just explode, yo” to “did you know aqueducts are like freakishly expensive” depending on whether he’s the older or the younger one.

Also, I think the younger advocated for rubbing feces into wounds to help them heal. I’m not sure I’d trust Pliny’s knowledge on many subjects.
