ResumoThe objective of this article is to study the relationships between Stoicism and the Principate by reading letters by Pliny. Pliny the Younger came from an equestrian family that rose to the senate. After opposition under the reign of Emperor Domitian, it became one of the ideologues and most active participants in imperial power during the reign of Nerva and Trajan. As a political man, he extolled <i>virtus</i>, finding support in the <i>mos maiorum</i> (tradition), and stoic moderation. Leader of a cultural and political circle and close friend to Trajan, Pliny illustrated the Emperor's views, particularly the ideology of a senatorial group for permanent conciliation between the Curia and the prince, seeking to legitimize the politics of the Ceaser and guide senatorial interests
