Philosophus Stoicus e Corduba, Neronis magister et postea victima; vir ditissimus qui de paupertate pulcherrime scripsit, nec hanc contradictionem ignoravit. Epistulas ad Lucilium amicum iterum mittit, a CXXV numerandas.Stoic philosopher from Córdoba, tutor to Nero and later his victim; an enormously rich man who wrote more beautifully about poverty than anyone, and knew it. He writes to his friend Lucilius again — the letters now numbered from CXXV onward.
Vindica te tibi.
Tange imaginem: marmor in vultum vivum vertitur — a machina ex ipso marmore restitutum.Hover the portrait: the marble turns into a living face, reconstructed by AI from the bust itself.
