The paper proposes an analysis of Aulus Gellius' NA 3.15, with a special regard to its composition and literary aims. The relationship of NA 3.15.4 with Liv. 22.7.13, Val. Max. 9.12.2–3, and NH 7.180 is investigated, revealing the chapter to exemplify the tension often observed between Gellius and Pliny the Elder.
