Abstract
This brief and somewhat anecdotal note analyzes five instances drawn from the Roman d’Eneas (a high medieval adaptation of Virgil’s Aeneid) in relation to descriptions in Historia naturalis of Pliny the Elder. The examples illustrate the twelfth-century anonymous romancer’s exploitation of: murex, the marvelous horses of Messapus, bitumen, chalcedony and scammony.
