Soon after Nero's accession in 54 CE, his tutor, the philosopher
Seneca, addressed to his young pupil an essay called De Clementia
in which he offered advice on how to behave in his new role. This
is the first full philological edition of the De Clementia in
English. It includes the text with apparatus criticus, a new
translation, a substantial introduction, and detailed commentary on
matters of textual criticism, literary criticism and issues of
socio-political, historical, cultural, and philosophical
significance. The notes illuminate Seneca's language and thought
through extensive citation of parallel passages from his other
writings, from those of other imperial Latin authors, and from
other relevant texts. The introduction includes discussion of
Seneca's life, relationship with Nero, writings, and philosophy;
the date, genre, scope, structure, and argument of De Clementia;
the concept of clementia; kingship theory in Greek literature and
Republican Rome; and the work's afterlife and influence.
