Among all the authors who wrote about the topic of monsters in the 16th century, it was Pliny the Elder who was considered to be the most cited authority on monstrous peoples. He first wrote about such ideas in the 1st century. His book, Natural History, is considered to be one of the largest single works from the Roman Empire.
