Why this is better
Corrected the misleading characterization of Seneca's wealth as coming from playwriting; his wealth came from his political/financial role as statesman, with dramatist as a secondary descriptor. Verified fix present in both the body paragraph and the summary table. FAQ text mentions Seneca was 'a playwright, statesman, and advisor to Emperor Nero' but does not repeat the specific wealth-attribution fabrication (no claim that his wealth derived from playwriting), so no FAQ fix was required.
