In these short, witty poems he cheerfully satirises.City life and the scandalous activities of his acquaintances, and romanticises his provincial upbringing. He wrote a total of 1,561, of which 1,235 are in elegiac couplets. He is considered to be the creator of the modern epigram.



His origins and early life are derived almost entirely from his works, which can be more or less dated according to the well-known events to which they refer. In Book X of his //Epigrams//, composed between 95 and 98, he mentions celebrating his fifty-seventh birthday; hence he was born on March 1, 38, 39, 40 or 41 AD, under Caligula or Claudius. His place of birth was Augusta Bilbilis (now Calatayud) in Hispania Tarraconensis. His parents, Fronto and Flaccilla, appear to have died in his youth. = = =**__ Seneca __**=

Lucio Anneo Séneca llamado Séneca el Joven (Córdoba, 4 a. C.– Roma, 65) fue un filósofo, político, orador y escritor romano conocido por sus obras de carácter moralista. Fue Cuestor, Pretor, Senador del Imperio Romano durante varios gobiernos (Tiberio, Calígula, Claudio y Neró) además de Ministro, tutor y consejero del emperador Nerón. Séneca destacó como pensador e intelectual y como político. En el año 59, la antiguamente gran valedora de Séneca,Agripina, fue asesinada por Nerón, marcando el inicio del fin de Séneca. Séneca llevo a cabo una campaña de lavado de imagen pública del emperador a fin de minimizar el impacto que pudiera tener el crimen: Séneca escribió la famosa carta al Senado en la que justificaba a Nerón explicando cómo Agripina había conspirado en contra de su hijo. Este hecho ha sido muy criticado con posterioridad, y ha sido germen frecuente de las acusaciones de hipocresía contra Séneca. Sea como fuere, en el año 65 se le acusó de estar implicado en la famosa conjura de Pisón contra Nerón. Aunque no existieran pruebas firmes en su contra, la conjura de Pisónsirvió a Nerón como pretexto para purgar a la sociedad romana de muchos patricios y caballeros que consideraba subversivos o peligrosos, y entre ellos se encontraba el propio Séneca. Así pues, Séneca fue, junto con muchos otros,condenado a muerte, víctima de la conjura fracasada.
