   2 corrections applied: Seneca's wealth came from his political position and financial dealings, not from playwriting; characterizing him primarily as a wealthy playwright is misleading. | Seneca was principally a Stoic philosopher/statesman (and dramatist), not a playwright by primary occupation; wealth came from political/financial role.

   Before

   Seneca accumulated vast wealth as a playwright and political advisor | table: Wealthy playwright and advisor to Nero

   After

   Seneca accumulated vast wealth as a statesman and political advisor | table: Wealthy statesman, dramatist, and advisor to Nero

   Why: 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.
