How is De rerum natura translated into English?

The Latin title De rerum natura, written by the poet and philosopher Lucretius, is translated into English as On the Nature of Things.1

This work serves as a comprehensive exposition of the physical theories held by the Greek philosopher Epicurus. Lucretius chose this title to mirror the name of Epicurus’s own primary work, Peri physeōs, which translates to On Nature.1
