- graeme 12y agoI agree with your sentiment, but I doubt this is true. Seneca was just about the richest man in Rome. He ran the empire from behind the scenes, along with Burrus for several years. There were certainly many things Seneca didn't have access to from our time. But I think on any sensible measure he was wealthier than almost anyone alive today. We've made many advances, but we forget that whatever we have often merely replaced an older version that did the job well enough, especially for those with means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_the_Younger#Imperial_advisor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_the_Younger#Imperial_adv...

- seizethecheese 12y agoSeneca suffered from severe abdominal pain for most of his life and would probably have given all of his wealth for an escape from it.
