Consider for a moment what Silver Latin would amount to without the Rhetorician Seneca the Elder (born at Cordoba B. C. 60), without his son the Philosopher and Dramaturge, Seneca the Younger (born at Cordoba B. C. 3) without the Poet Lucan, grandson and nephew respectively of the two Senecas (born at Cordoba A.
