RESUMO

The aim of the present study goes through the discussion on the power relationships established between subaltern sectors and his hierarchical superiors in the Roman society, based upon the Lucius Anneus Senecas philosophical and literary composition. From a structural point of view, the work is divided in three mains parts: 1) The construction of the subaltern sectors by the contemporary historiography, in which we introduce and criticize the current historiography construction of the Roman plebs as being idleness, and above all, the practicability of using Senecas work as documental source; 2) The social, political and textual Senecas career, where we analyze the epoch when Seneca lived and its assumption; 3) The social-political view of the subaltern sectors at the Senecas composition, with which we approach the way Seneca constructed the image of the subaltern sectors (e.g. ingenui, alipilus, gladiator) and how these classes used to develop strategies for a social affirmative with their superiors, and then exposing a more conflicting social reality than that presented by the historiography.
