In recent decades, Seneca’s works — especially his tragedies — have experienced a remarkable resurgence of scholarly interest. This renewed attention is reflected in a growing body of translations, commentaries, and critical studies, underscoring the enduring relevance of his literary and philosophical contributions.Yet, despite these advances, Senecan studies remain open to further exploration. New questions, perspectives, and interdisciplinary approaches continue to shed light on his complex oeuvre.This volume brings together contributions that engage with Seneca’s works in this spirit of critical openness and innovation. Building on recent scholarship across historical, philosophical, and literary domains, the chapters offer fresh readings and reassess key aspects of his thought and style.By doing so, the collection seeks not only to reflect the vitality of current research but also to contribute to shaping the future of Senecan studies, reaffirming his significance as statesman, philosopher, and dramatist.

The present volume marks the bimillennium of the death of the princeps with a selection of essays that offer new approaches to the Emperor Augustus and his reign. The essays cover a variety of subjects related to Augustan scholarship from a twenty-first century perspective. The studies brought together in this volume are based on papers delivered and discussed by archaeologists, philologists, and historians of ancient Rome at the conference on XIV A.D. SAECVLVM AVGVSTVM. The Age of Augustus held in Lisbon (the Roman Olisipo) in September 2014. The title, Augustan Papers, is intended to commemorate the eightieth anniversary of the publication of Ronald Symes Roman Papers (1939).
