N2  - The present paper first examines the structure of Seneca's epist. 70 and the position of the Drusus Libo episode within this structure. Then, the various accounts concerning the lawsuit and the suicide of Drusus Libo are discussed; the common feature of all versions is the non-interference of the princeps Tiberius. Further, it is shown how Seneca makes selective use of the material probably available to him with the intention of presenting Drusus Libo as an example of successful suicide. Finally, a small alteration of the text is proposed, which shall render Seneca's train of thought more intelligible.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
