Death of Lucan, 65 AD, (1888). As a result of a feud with the Roman emperor Nero, poet Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65 AD) was obliged, at the age of 25, to commit suicide by opening a vein. An alternative interpretation of events is that his death was not by suicide, but was an execution carried out at Nero's command. From "The Iberian Illustration", 1888. (Colorised black and white print).
