Seneca, Marcus Annaeus

    0.01 sec.

Seneca, Marcus (Lucius) Annaeus (c. 55 BC–AD 41)

Latin rhetorician. Born at Cordoba, he visited Rome in the early years of Augustus, but returned to Spain and married Helvia, by whom he had three sons: the philosopher L Annaeus Seneca, L Annaeus Mela (father of the poet Lucan), and M Annaeus Novatus. He subsequently paid another visit to Rome and he died there. His extant writing consists of a book of Suasoriae (extracts from celebrated rhetoricians on standard school themes), and five of ten books of Controversiae (imaginary legal cases).
