	Nero
		On January 24, 41 Caligula, his wife Caesonia, and their infant daughter Julia Drusilla were murdered by a conspiracy under Cassius Chaera.
		Seneca attempted to convince the Senate that she was orchestrating a conspiracy against her son, but the reputation of the Emperor was damaged beyond repair by this case of matricide.
		Hated by many citizens, with an increasing list of political enemies, Nero started to appreciate his loneliness, when in 65 he discovered the Pisonian conspiracy (named after Gaius Calpurnius Piso, who intended to take his place) and the involvement of old friends like Seneca in the plot.

	Roman Emperors DIR Nero
		Poppaea died in 66 A.D., and the next year Nero left Rome altogether for a tour of Greece, during which his extravagances alienated him further still from general citizens and military commanders alike.
		More crucially, in his paranoia after the conspiracy he ordered a popular and successful general, Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, to commit suicide, a decision which left other provincial leaders in doubt about his next move and inclined toward rebellion rather than inaction.
		In 68 A.D. Vindex revolted in Lugdunensis, as did Clodius Macer in Africa.

	Authors
		As Nero aged, Seneca and Burrus' influence on Nero declined and, in 62 A.D., Seneca retired.
		In 65 A.D., Nero accused Seneca of being part of the failed Pisonian Conspiracy and Seneca was forced to take his own life.
		Seneca wrote a very eclectic variety of works, including the Dialogi, de clementia, de beneficiis, Naturales Quaestiones, Epistulae morales, Satire, and Tragedies (which included Troades).
