Seneca the Younger

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c. 4 BCE - 65 CE), born in Cordoba, Spain, was the foremost Roman Stoic philosopher, playwright, and political theorist. As tutor and chief minister to Emperor Nero, he helped guide the early years of his reign; his Letters to Lucilius and moral essays remain among the most influential texts of Stoic philosophy. Accused of conspiracy, he was ordered by Nero to commit suicide in 65 CE.
