APGRD Notes
It is doubted that this fabula praetexta was written by Seneca. It is assumed here that it was performed in Rome and the date is based on the arguments put forward by Fitch (though he is discussing composition rather than performance). On the authorship and date of this play see J. Fitch, Seneca Tragedies Vol. II (Loeb, 2004), p. 510-3.
