As I start examining Rome and its literary tradition, I cannot help but notice how immense anti-Julio-Claudian attitudes are.
I mean it really skyrockets in the Antonine age but likewise endures for a good time.
But Seneca does this thing where he doesn't just attack the Julio-Claudian themselves but also their colleagues, their time, their servants, etc...
He writes all sorts of invectives about Maecenas, painting him as some sort of clumsy clown. He attacks Titus Livius on his admiration for the Library of Alexandria and calls him vain.
He criticizes Messalina and Agrippina, he criticizes Nero's friends.
