GRICE E PERSIO: LA FILOSOFIA NEL PRINCIPATO DI NERONE -- TRASEA CONTRO LA TIRANNIA -- ROMA -- FILOSOFIA ITALIANA -- LUIGI SPERANZA

 

Grice e Persio: la filosofia nel principato di Nerone – TREASEA CONTRO LA TIRANNIA – Roma – filosofia italiana – Luigi Speranza  (Roma). He is best known as a satirical poet, but he studies philosophy under Luccio Anneo Cornuto, to whom he wrote a tribute and to whom he leaves his works on his death. A strong belief in the value of the ethics of the PORTICO lies beneath much of his satire. He is a friend of Trasea Peto (vide RENSI – TRASEA CONTRO LA TIRANNIA), and is related to him by marriage. Through this connection, Persio becomes associated with the PORTICO opposition to Nerone – but he dies before Nerone can take action against him. Ed. Broad, Loeb. Flacco Aulo Persio
