One of the great paradoxes of history and power is that Seneca was the teacher of someone who would become his opponent: Roman Emperor Nero. Finally, he chose to follow the school of Stoicism and became one of its most representative figures. He studied Egyptian culture with the same passion as he studied Roman and Greek cultures. Such as other great figures in history, Seneca had an insatiable curiosity that allowed him to immerse himself in different sciences, cultures, and beliefs with great openness. He managed to understand human nature in depth in one of the most decadent eras of history. Even though he went down in history as a philosopher who reflected on ethics, he was a man of power. Seneca the Younger was one of the wisest and most inspiring men in Ancient Rome.
