The article proposes a reading of the epistle 86 by Seneca, which highlights a ciceronian literary background. In particular, the narrative incipit seems to get inspiration from a passage of De Senectute, while in the figure of Scipio Africanus, main character of the epistle and portrayed as the philosopher's alter ego, it's possible to trace echoes from the famous Somnium Scipionis.
