About Seneca
Seneca, also known as Lucius Annaeus Seneca, was a Roman philosopher, statesman, and playwright born around 4 BCE in Corduba (present-day Córdoba, Spain) and raised in Rome. A prominent Stoic thinker, he is best known for his moral essays and letters that explored themes of ethics, virtue, and the nature of life and death. Despite serving as an advisor to Emperor Nero, Seneca's life ended tragically in forced suicide around 65 CE, marking a poignant chapter in the complex interplay between philosophy and politics in ancient Rome.
