Author : Seneca

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, commonly referred to as Seneca the Younger, was a prominent Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist during the Silver Age of Latin literature (c. 4 BC – 65 AD). As a tutor and later an advisor to Emperor Nero, he played a significant role in the political landscape of his time. Despite his influential position, Seneca's life ended tragically when he was coerced into suicide by Nero, who accused him of involvement in a conspiracy against the emperor.
