Seneca

Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BCE – 65 CE) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and advisor to Emperor Nero, born in Corduba, Spain, and educated in Rome.[2][4] He rose to prominence in politics, tutored the young Nero, and wielded significant influence during the early years of his reign, while authoring philosophical essays, consolation treatises, and tragedies.[1][3] Exiled by Claudius in 41 CE for alleged adultery, he was later recalled and met his end by forced suicide in 65 CE amid suspicions of involvement in a plot against Nero.[5][4]
