Appendix – Testimonia and Fragmenta from Seneca the Elder’s Historiae

The very often above mentioned Testimonium and Fragmenta of the historiographical work of Seneca the Elder are given in full below. They respectively consist, on one side, in a few lines from the so-called de vita patris linked to the name of the younger Seneca (T1) and, on the other side, in two passages from Suetonius’ life of Tiberius (F1) and from the later Institutiones of Lactantius (F2). Their texts follow FRHist II 982–985 n°74, where an English translation is found. The corpus of Fragmenta is here augmented through the addition of the text transmitted by the Herculaneum roll on which this volumes is focussed, the P.Herc. 817 (F3). The text of the roll follows its editio princeps, dating 2017; a renewed edition will be published within the forthcoming CLTP.
