# Agrippina recalls Seneca from Corsica to tutor Nero

Date: 49

## The fact

In 49 CE Agrippina recalled [Seneca](/people/seneca) from Corsica to serve as praetor and tutor to Nero. The dated recall is not the 41 exile and not the 54 accession-court heading. Seneca the Younger’s documented role is: Agrippina had him recalled and made praetor, then tutor to her son. She ordered; he returned; the 54 tutor-office at Nero’s accession remains a later row. Do not twin this with sen-nero-tutor-early 54. 49 is Agrippina’s recall; 54 is the accession court. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Seneca the Younger's documented role is: Agrippina had him recalled and made praetor, then tutor to her son. She ordered; he returned; the 54 tutor-office at Nero’s accession remains a later row.

## Context

Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays Agrippina recalls Seneca from Corsica to tutor Nero. The setting of Agrippina recalls Seneca from Corsica to tutor Nero is the public file around 0049-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

## Evidence and sources

[Tacitus](/people/tacitus) and Britannica independently date a 49 recall as distinct from 54 court power. Official: Britannica — Seneca, recall 49 CE (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lucius-Annaeus-Seneca-Roman-philosopher-and-statesman; Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent: Perseus — Tacitus, Annals, Seneca’s recall (https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0078; Perseus Digital Library). The two URLs are different pages.

Official carrier: Britannica — Seneca, recall 49 CE (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lucius-Annaeus-Seneca-Roman-philosopher-and-statesman; Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent carrier: Perseus — Tacitus, Annals, Seneca’s recall (https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0078; Perseus Digital Library).
