Lucius Annaeus Seneca, usually known as Seneca, was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist of the Silver Age of Latin literature.

As a writer, Seneca is known for his philosophical works, and for his plays, which are all tragedies. His prose works include 12 essays and 124 letters dealing with moral issues. These writings constitute one of the most important bodies of primary material for ancient Stoicism.
