As Nero’s tutor, Seneca had considerable political influence in the early years of that emperor’s reign. With his friend Burrus, Seneca introduced fiscal and judicial reforms and fostered a more humane attitude toward slaves. But, as the favourite of a tyrant, he also had to condone—or to contrive—the murder of Nero’s mother, Agrippina.
