Although Seneca's involvement remains uncertain, Nero accused his former adviser of complicity and ordered his death. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, Seneca accepted the sentence with composure, surrounded by friends and members of his household. He opened his veins, and when death came slowly, further measures were taken to end his life.
