# Consolatio ad Helviam consoles Seneca’s mother from Corsica

Date: 42

## The fact

From Corsica Seneca wrote the Consolatio ad Helviam to his mother. The dated family consolation is not the 41 banishment itself and not ad Polybium’s political flattery. [Seneca the Younger](/people/seneca)’s documented role is: From exile he wrote a consolation to his mother Helvia. The family received; he wrote; later Loeb is access. Do not twin this with ad Polybium. A mother’s consolation is not freedman-flattery. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Seneca the Younger's documented role is: From exile he wrote a consolation to his mother Helvia. The family received; he wrote; later Loeb is access.

Named others on the file: Helvia as addressee, unnamed relatives, and later editors share the consolation. The public setting is the file around 0042-01-01. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Contribution type is direct. The instrument stays Consolatio ad Helviam consoles Seneca’s mother from Corsica. The setting of Consolatio ad Helviam consoles Seneca’s mother from Corsica is the public file around 0042-01-01.
