The collection features 124 letters from Seneca the Younger, written during his retirement after a decade of service to Emperor Nero. Addressed to Lucilius Junior, a procurator in Sicily, these letters encompass philosophical insights and practical wisdom. Seneca's intent was to reach a wider audience, offering reflections on ethics, virtue, and the Stoic way of life, making the work relevant beyond its immediate correspondence.
