Note 616 — Chapter III · SENECA THE PHILOSOPHER: MISCELLANEOUS LEARNING
Reading edition
The quinquennium is here used in its customary sense, and not the less likely one in which Mr. J. G. C. Anderson applied it to the last five years of Nero’s reign on the ground that the Golden House scheme and rebuilding after the Great Fire were the achievements which aroused Trajan’s admiration.
