大概意思好像就是E这人给历史学家T写了两封信，是介绍他目击火山爆发情况的。

这句话其实结构很简单呀楼主是不是被the nephew of Pliny the Elder给唬住了
the nephew of Pliny the Elder是个人名，在网上查的资料如下：

“Pliny the Elder was born at Rhaetia in AD 23. He held several government posts including commander of the Misenum Fleet. He adopted Pliny the Younger, who later became Governor of Bithynia.

Pliny wrote books on a variety of subjects. His most famous book, Natural History, deals with the scientific, social, political and economic aspects of the Roman Empire. Pliny mainly relied on secondary sources (he claimed to have a library of 2,000 books). His work is often criticised for including too many factual inaccuracies.

Pliny the Elder died during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 when Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed.”
楼上的解释基本没错，就是Pliny the Elder这个人的侄子在给历史学家T这个人的两封信中记述了维苏威火山爆发的过程
