Seneca, a Stoic philosopher and writer in Ancient Rome, was a prominent figure in post-Augustan Latin literature. His professional life included training in rhetoric and philosophy in Rome, followed by exile to Corsica under Emperor Claudius. Upon his return, he tutored Nero and served as his advisor, contributing to competent governance during the early years of Nero’s reign. However, Seneca’s influence over Nero diminished over time, leading to his eventual suicide amidst allegations of involvement in a conspiracy against the emperor.
