The date traditionally accepted for the death of the Younger Pliny is far from being sufficiently proven and answers to deductions done from the form of the imperial titulature of the inscription that contains a part of the testament of the writer. There adds the fact of the apparent silence of his correspondence during the last part of his government in Bithynia. These facts that seem to be coherent between them cannot be, in our opinion, considered as an irrefutable test, since they can have be caused by other factors, and Pliny’s death probably should be placed in a slightly later moment
