Calvisius Sabinus (mentioned by Seneca)
Calvisius Sabinus, whose ''praenomen'' is not recorded, was a wealthy contemporary of the younger Seneca.
Sabinus was of servile origin, and, though ignorant, he affected to be a man of learning. Seneca was contemptuous of him, noting that he had inherited his wealth from a freedman, but describing him as "a man whose reliance on slaves is so complete that he cannot even think for himself. He has bought slaves and has had them trained to memorize poetry, so that he can be cultured while having nothing in his head."〔Lucius Annaeus Seneca, ''Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium'', 27.〕〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕〔 Paraphrased by Kathleen McCarthy, "Servitium amoris: Amor servitii," in ''Women and Slaves in Greco-Roman Culture: Differential Equations'' (Routledge, 1998), p. 181 (online. )〕
From his name, it seems that his father was a freedman of the Calvisii Sabini, a family that had been prominent in Roman politics a century earlier.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
