The aim of this paper is to identify potentially Senecan material in Suetonius' Life of Tiberius, the site of one of the two generally accepted references to the Historiae (Tib. 73.2 = FRHist 74 F1). Given the paucity of the evidence for the Historiae the discussion is necessarily speculative, but suggestive connections are found especially in material pertinent to equites Romani or tendentiously pro-Caligula. If Seneca's Historiae did herald a new golden age presided over by Caligula, this might explain the work's apparent neglect by subsequent historians.
