Octavia (Seneca play)
Octavia, a play in Latin traditionally attributed to Seneca the Younger, focuses on three days in AD 62, during which Nero divorced and exiled one wife (Claudia Octavia) and married another (Poppaea Sabina). Ferri argues that the play was actually written later in the 1st century, after the deaths of Nero and Seneca, and that it would be almost inconceivable that Seneca would have written such a dangerous play.
