Abstract
Abstract:Seneca Controversiae 2.5 includes unusually vivid descriptions of torture that suggest an apprehension about the need to transmit to the student the ability to describe such violent imagery. Fictive cases of tyrannical torture prepared the student for real world situations, in which juridical torture could reasonably occur. The case may also reflect an unease with an increasing lack of distinction between tyrannical and juridical torture under the reign of Tiberius.
