Lucius Annaeus Seneca, known as Seneca or Seneca the Younger (c.4 BC 65 AD), Roman philosopher, tragedian, statesman, orator, tutor and advisor of emperor Nero. Seneca was one of Romes leading intellectual figures.

However, he lost influence and favor with his former student over time. In 62 AD Seneca  withdrew  from public life and devoted his time  to philosophy and  writing. During this time he wrote some of his best philosophical works, including  the  Letters to Lucilius.  In 65 AD Seneca was accused of being involved with the Pisonian conspiracy  against Nero and was forced to commit suicide.
